Re: Restless or Contented

I'm a bit stir crazy at the moment having finished the winter decorating but not being able to do anything in the garden.

This week it's supposed to be warmer so maybe I'll start outside but there's not a great deal that can be done with the fear of frost still lurking. Maybe some repairs to fences and stuff

Roll on summer!

Happens to me all the time, I generally turn over, scratch my bits and go back to sleep until the feeling goes away

Re: Restless or Contented

I am restless and irritable right now. The weather in March is more than I can stand. I am sick of snow, wind and cold.
I was going to go out today as it isn't a bad day, but decided to stay in and do paperwork and I don't like doing paperwork so that makes me restless and edgy.

Re: Restless or Contented

I'm restless, especially in the winter, curious about everything - well not everything, making it a practice not to look in people's windows (or sheds), for example.

Definitely more of a seize-the-day-er than a roll-over-and-scratcher, Rehab. Will send pizza and postcards.

Re: Restless or Contented

I love looking in people's windows Surfermom, best time to go for a walk is around dusk, folks are just putting their lights on then and you get a good view

Re: Restless or Contented

I get this a lot and the great thing about being retired is that one can indulge these whims.

For the last month I have been entertaining a visitor from the UK and while we did visit the the Blue Mountains, Canberra etc now that they have returned home I am going to hitch up the camper later this month and spend a week or so travelling.

I have thinking of visiting the UK in September 2019 though that is not written in stone because I have other OS visits promised to friends in Asia but it is a plan.

Re: Restless or Contented

I get really restless at the end of winter. I need to get outside again in the garden or even give the garage a good clean. I don't need to go anywhere or go on holiday, I just need to be outside.

Re: Restless or Contented

I had a strong desire to go for a swim this morning. Because of the knockout virus I caught in January I haven't been doing much exercise at all.

I've just got back. I managed half a mile in the pool.(32 lengths) and I really feel invigorated.

Try it.

No thanks, I have the aquatic abilitities of a large house brick
