What Do You Do When You Want To Kill Time?

I am taking my daughter's car for an MOT and two new tyres today. It will be there for almost two hours. I don't really want to sit and do nothing whilst l wait for that time to pass, so what do you suggest l do? What do you normally do to kill time?
There is a bus stop outside the test centre, so l could go off somewhere. Any suggestions? I would welcome serious and witty suggestions, so feel free to use your vivid imagination!

I normally go off for a nice breakfast somewhere. Full English and a coffee.

I remember once when in my late twenties, I took my car into a garage near the seaside and spent a lovely couple of hours sitting on the beach in a deckchair with all the pensioners. Had a great time.

If there is a bus stop. I think I would just hop on a bus. Get on one going somewhere you may not have ever been and just explore.

Fog knitting,
Watching the grass grow,
People watching,
Power nap.


Pencil and notepad, practice a bit of sketching.

If you could schedule your MOT to coincide with a time when a parallel universe overlaps with ours, you could nip over to the other side and meet your alternate self (who will also be getting their daughter's car serviced in the same garage).
