Finding things to do.

[maggie01]

Right! I am trying to think positive. Some of you know I am going through sticky patch at home. I go out with friends to the theatre, swimming and we meet for lunch when I am not working but I would like to do something else, say one evening a week. Trouble is, I haven't a clue what. I am not very good at joining things on my own but feel it's time I made an effort. Can you suggest anything?

i agree with cartman, try martial arts but make sure you go to a school that has a class with people your own age.
you could work at a resteraunt once a week just for fun as a matre d or hostess.
might give you the socialness you need.

Horse riding? Clears the head and can be fun?

Well I am a fitness instructor and run classes for people who don't want big groups or to get the lycra brigade staring at them. Have a look round in your area and speak to the local clubs I am sure there will be some classes like mine where everyone is really down to earth and friendly and you could make some new mates!

As much as I like horses, I do not like heights. I remember going to Spain when my girls were younger and going on a donkey trek. I ended up walking. I think maybe a fitness class could be a start. I have done some sort of keep fit most of my adult life and enjoy it but am not keen on the gym. I find that boring. I am sure there is something out there suitable. It just needs finding. Thanks!

LOL about you walking on the Donkey Trek! I loved that!

i think the classes would be a good idea. Yoga would get you relaxed and would help you to meet others.

I hope that you find something to do and that you make some lovely new friends.

Hhave you thought about signing up for a language course offered at a local college? My mum is doing Spanish part-time and loves it. It is a fairly small group so she feels comfortable and has made some good friends through it too.
