A Quiet Evening


I went out for lunch with two friends today and it was nice to catch up on their news. Now, it's time for a quiet evening at home.




I have "de-Christmased" the living room and rather miss the glow of the tree lights (I'm still spotting fir needles here and there), but I do like the soft glow from this lamp.



Clearly, these two have a deep love of reading and would suggest it as a more suitable pastime that fiddling about on this keyboard.



Then again, there's a case to be made for sitting back and "contemplating life". 

How do you spend an evening by yourself?



Heartfelt thanks to all for your visits and comments.

  2. Mmmmm - with a book and a cup of tea
    or
    a long, hot bubble bath, a book and a glass of wine
    or
    with a cosy fire, a book and a dog on my lap.

  3. Sounds perfect! I love to relax with a book and a cup of tea each night.
    Sometimes a glass of wine and a movie.

  4. I spend a lot of time fiddling on this keyboard too. But I love to have a cup of tea or glass of wine and read a book or magazine.

  6. Happy, peaceful and creative new year to you. I adore the shimmer of Christmas tree lights over the festive season but relish equally the clean slate of a house when it has been rid of all the decorations.

    An evening alone? How heavenly. Knitting, sewing, reading, or watching a series on our computer as we have no TV!

    Best wishes,

    Stephanie

  7. Reading, embroidery,or listening to the radio is the way I enjoy time by myself. With a scented candle and the fire alight....bliss
