OK, bit of a random thread....

Basically I'm between contracts, I have new stuff lined up, but I've got a month (or so) free.

I don't have massive amounts of capital, so jetting off to sun and sea is not really on the cards, but it really has left me wondering..... What do I do with my spare time?

Going off to the gym once a day fills a bit of it and I've finished the work I needed to do on my house until the bigger stuff happens later in the year..... So I find I have allot of spare time...

So any suggestions would come in very useful, so far all my mates have come up with is windmilling (useful....)

I never seem to have any problems filling up my spare time with nothing at all.

Ehm, learn to play an instrument? Take some classes? Read The Divine Comedy? Beat the Ninja Gaiden trilogy on NES (I promise you it will take you two months)?

I have no trouble filling a day in a museum or gallery. I don't know exactly where you live but going out to a restaurant, theatre or concert where you live or nearby city is a nice change of pace usually.

Still have more time on your hands? Go to a senior center and see if there is anyone who needs some errands run for them or help with some activity like reading to the blind.

Still have a few days to fill? Organize your closets, cupboards or any other area of your life that takes a back seat and ends up neglected when you are busy working.

How much time is left? Go get a professional massage and get your hair cut and have a manicure and pedicure and stop someplace nice for tea on the way home.

That's what I do. I never do things in my own city! So when I have a few days... Plus organizing closets, drawers, cupboards and taking things to the thrift shop is something I don't usually get around to doing.

Also, sorting digital photos into photo books and ordering them is another thing I put off doing. I do like having hard copies of pictures and I'm not a scrap booking kind of person.

Calling friends I rarely get to see and going for lunch or dinner is nice as well.

When in doubt, read or nap! I never run out of things to do!

Write a novel about the adventures of a crazy kid and his talking dog who are trapped in a mysterious land of magic and coolness. Or you could write about a struggling burger business owner trying to make it in a small town along with help from his wife and kids. Or no wait you could write about two demon hunting brothers that travel the united states in a sweet ride. Oh wait.......those are good ideas, don't steal those. I might get into writing one day.

Thanks peeps!

Took your advise and started writing a book :)

Also arranged a visit to harry potter world - although I don't like harry potter hugely the studios look pretty sweet!

Let me know if you want a taster of what I'm writing!
