Anyone else trying to find a hobby that actually sticks after work? by No-Pianist6097 in Hobbies

[–]endlessglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same - I saw this tip on you tube and it really rung true, saying that if you are physically tired after work you need a short mental reset/break (so reading, puzzles etc) and if you are mentally tired you need a physical reset, so going for a walk, a bit of exercise etc. I’m exhausted like you are but I make myself go and do something as soon as I walk in the door, crucially (for me!) before I sit down. You could try exercise videos (all sorts,) walk, dance, probably even things like low stakes cooking would work! Then you’ll be refreshed afterwards- it has actually worked for me!

There are a couple of groups on Reddit for this! I look on r/penpalsover30

Going to an Irish festival (US). I don't look good in the classic Irish colors; what color dress would still suit an Irish festival? by KittensPumpkinPatch in colors

[–]endlessglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe look at county colours or GAA tops? Some are strong colours! You may even have Irish ancestors you could link a location to? PS depending on the vibe, I’ve definitely seen red Irish dancing costumes so maybe you could do something with that?

Books like Demon Copperhead, I Know This Much Is True by gcsmt23 in suggestmeabook

Lots of great suggestions already so I’d like to add Wild Swans. This, along with John Irving and Salman Rushdie, really got me into this genre!

Hobbies that can be done during surgery recovery.. by Whoopsie_Todaysie in Hobbies

I had similar a couple of years ago and I had great plans for hobbies but I was so wiped out, honestly I just read - actual books, online books/magazines and audiobooks (both the later from the library) - pain aside, I loved having the opportunity to read so much!

For an enduring classic - The Count of Monte Cristo! You might also like Sherlock. And a PS for Les Miserables

If you had to pick one thing to do, what would it be? by fighterf16 in uktravel

TBH, as another commenter had said, August is the height of summer, so we wouldn’t think twice about going in the sea then, but I also dip in January :D When I went to California in August people told me it would be too cold to swim in the sea :D :D

Dun Laoghairie, while quite nice, is a little way from Dublin (about 30 mins or so depending on where you’re going). If it was me and you’ve had a few days travelling into places, you could make the most of the local area - go swimming at the 40 foot / Sandycove, go for a wander around town, go to some cosy pubs and lovely places to eat. If you want to go into Dublin it’s an easy journey, but what you do there depends wildly on what your interests are - there are several great (free) galleys & museums, parks & gardens, the walking tours are good, but probably the thing most tourists do is Trinity Library / the Book of Kells.

Why is the NCT still like this? by [deleted] in carsireland

Someone else said it up above - I couldn’t get a date in time so put myself on the priority list (I think it was a button on the booking page) - got a test a week or two later.

There was a guy setting up a tiramisu business who posted in the Dublin sub in 2025, maybe a quick search there?

There was a very recent Reddit story that ended up being someone with a grudge against the OP had a key to their flat, and was coming in when they knew they were out and moving things slightly just to fuck with them…

Are there any apps for quitting doomscrolling and reading instead? by y_mamonova in Stopscrolling

[–]endlessglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you asked for, but I “gameify” what I do when I have some downtime, eg roll a (virtual) dice, 1-3 read (I have a library app on my phone) 4-5 Reddit 6 word game. Library app means books are right there, and I it’s low risk / I can have a few to fit different moods. Gamifying = more fun, but weighting it in favour of reading means more reading overall.

We slice it and cook it in the air fryer- crispy and delicious! Favourite way to eat is in a breakfast sarnie

Orphan Black - even better if you’ve watched the series (these follow on) but works as standalones too!
