Hummin Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Google "how to fight boredom in retirement" is a good start to find inspiration or drink more as a result of boredom. I found my semi retirement boring, and created a daily routine I have to do when home 6 days a week. Buy a plot of land and do something with it, and make home made wine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Cycling. It’s a great way to build up a thirst, and keeps you out of the pub until later in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add that other people will be substantially safer if you cycle to the pub instead of driving there, though they will still feel free to criticise you roundly for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Im back I will start with my wine making chamber and give it a try. This Channel have a basic recipe with links to what you need in the description. Search for other fruits as well you can get.

JayClay Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'll try and avoid suggestions that have already been made. Sorry if I accidentally repeat somebody else's suggestions; Write a book, read a book, learn website or software development, take up surfing, windsurfing, parasailing, paragliding, paramotoer, skydiving, start a small lifestyle business, buy and sell online, smoke weed, learn a craft, study a topic that's always been of interest to you, learn how to play a musical instrument, learn how to cook or improve your cooking skills, build something, design something, become a food critic, become an activist for a cause you strongly believe in, volunteer to help others less fortunate than yourself, find religion, debunk religion, go for a swim, take up snorkeling, take up diving, take up smoking, give up smoking. That's about all I can think of from the top of my head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
