jimmy two times Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm a middle aged bloke with some time on my hands so I don't think I'll do the Xmas cake thing as my kids are all late teens and live with their mum. Too much information? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8842-what-to-do-on-week-off/#findComment-268715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiesofa Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Have a look at the good things to see in London thread and pick some. Or go to your nearest train station, buy a ticket, get the next train that comes in (unless it's your usual commuter train) and get off wherever you fancy and just go for a wonder and explore. Take a book and walk to a nice pub or cafe. Have lots of lie ins. Visit someone you haven't seen for a while. Do some DIY or gardening. Erm i can't think of any more, just do what takes your fancy at the time. Have a good week.

jimmy two times Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Funnily enough I was going to go for a cycle from South London to Highgate via Highgate West Hill.

PeckhamRose Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Go to World's End, walk along the river and around Chelsea Harbour, then get a number 11 all the way to Liverpool Street Station which takes you past a lot of touristy London, but then walk around the City, visit the Guildhall, go to St Paul's and climb up the Monument. Take a bus or DLR to Isle of Dogs and enjoy a walk around there and the City Farms all over the place. Get the tide times and walk along the River. Visit Kew Gardens. Do the Fullers Brewery Tour. Have a drink in a pub on the Strand on the Green. Walk around Green Park and St James's Park. Go to some fringe theatre. Go to Battersea and look at the power station close up. Look at the views from Blackheath Park. Walk around the Dome's perimeter and see the wildlife being encouraged on to the shores of the Thames by some good design within the river walls there. Take a river cruise. Ohhhhhhhh it's what I do! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8842-what-to-do-on-week-off/#findComment-268856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Book some cookery/wine tasting/piano/riding/race track driving/hot air ballooning/whatever blows your hair back lessons and learn that new thing you've always thought you'd enjoy. Then book a personal shopper and a haircut and reveal the sexy new you just in time to meet Daizie at the EDF drinks.

legalbeagle Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 A personal shopper is someone who takes you clothes shopping and produces a fabulous and groovy new you by dressing you in a fabulous and groovy way. Depending on the shopper of course. They might actually produce a troll in baggy knickers but that's not usually the look they go for.Kind of Trinny and Susannah but, well, nice.

legalbeagle Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, you have to pay them lots to do it, and they don't follow you home afterwards and make you put out the bin bags, but other than that, it's not a dissimilar role.

SteveT Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hire a car for a race day and scream round a track for an hour or two. They have go cart racing in hackney which is somewhat cheaper.
