No internet for a week. UPDATED #53

Tigsteroonie

Sort through your paperwork.
Sort through your bits-and-bobs cupboard (normally under the stairs).
Spring clean the entire house.
Go through digital photos taken over the last couple of years and decide which to have printed and framed.
Listen to music and reminisce about your lost youth.
Talk about what was your best holiday and why, then plan your next one to suit both of you.

All ideas from someone who spends her entire evening on the internet whilst Marley watches his choice of telly

"he goes out with his hobby,"

That's what he calls her is it?

It sounds like you believe you'll have hours and hours to fill every evening when in reality, by the time dinner is done & eaten and dishes done you're talking about what, 7 oclock? Maybe 7.30 at the latest in my house anyway. So even if you stayed up till 10 instead of 9.30 it's really not that long.

I like the idea of clearing paperwork - do we all have a pile on the table that never gets put away?

Walking will keep you warm, half an hour to an hour brisk walk - lovely. Back to your favourite hot drink

I love the idea of jigsaws too.. and yours of holiday photos sound even better. That'll take a week if they're not simple ones.

(Off to search holiday photos to see if there's any worth making into a jigsaw....)

I like this whole idea actually, I might join you

I am after some help, suggestions, creative ideas please.

Hubby and I are, from tomorrow, having a week without the internet. Although there will be some exceptions (we will still have sky/Amazon prime).

I read that as Hubby and I are from tomorrow :rotfl:

You might not think it is, but even reading together can be nice. And by that I mean reading in the same room as each other, next to each other.

There's always a lull (for me anyway!) after an hour or so, so one of you will feel restless. Time to massage the reader's feet for a while.... And then tell me your night didn't go well.

Start a two piece band, you on sax, him on the flute.

You could try something that was popular in those forgotten days before the internet.

It's called talking to each other :rotfl:

I am in the gym and burst out laughing at that.

Yeah he does not hide it well

He kitesurfs and yes I could go watch but obviously it has to be windy and 8hrs in the cold isn't for me. He has a competition soon so really needs to practice too.

But we did use to play badminton together. Do that's a good memory jog.

74Jax,

regarding the book... don't read to each other, that wears thin pretty quick. I suggest once you've both read it, discuss it.
