When was the last time…

Waterstones, Argyll Street, yesterday.
I was intending to buy 'The Takeaway Secret' by Kenny McGovern for a colleague's 30th, who loves cooking/baking/takeaways...
Even though it's in it's 2nd edition, there's not one in stock in any of their Scottish bookshops.
So I bought two genre books for myself. Think I'm gonna love them  |

Last time wanted to gift someone that book, I found a combined edition with books one and two together. Even better. |

I'm loathe to do it, but found it on Amazon...

Someone gave me some money for my birthday, told me to spend it on something I really wanted.
So I took my son out for the day. And that’s not me saying I’m unselfish, I just couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to do than spend time with my eldest son, who is about two go off into the world, and probably have less and less time for me.
So anyway, I chose to drag him around to a snooker hall, and we had a few games, and we went out for something to eat, and a bit of windowshopping
A little bit of what you like, does you good Shiv  |

That's quite lovely actually.

I live in the north east. In the north east we've only recently learned that the moon isn't a light source. I must tread carefully. |

I played designated driver last night. Stayed on the soft drinks all night and drove everybody home at three in the morning.
How is that doing something for myself? Because it meant I didn’t have to stay the night. It meant I could be home today to tinker with my car. Chop firewood. Do some DIY. Walk the dog. Visit the farm shop. Bake some bread. Make some soup. I’ve had a lovely day. |

"Next weekend I'm going to Snowdon, staying overnight and then a 13 mile walk up, down, and round Snowdon by myself.
Really looking forward to it."
This sounds like pure heaven to me.

I live in South West Scotland. In South West Scotland we've only recently learned that a bottle of Buckfast with your morning cereal before work...isn't prescribed on the NHS after all.
Fucking misinformation. |

"I took myself to Paris in February "
It can be absolutely lovely in Winter/early Spring - the architecture stands out more with the trees bare and that late winter light x.
I'm off to Reims in two weeks - mangled knee is looking good for the drive....and I am happy . |

I spent a silly amount of money on a dress.
Which is very unusual, but it just looked nice & made me smile so I figured it was worth the pennies.
Only problem is - I don’t have an occasion to wear it. Yet!! |

Fingers crossed for the weather, but I did 13 miles a few weeks back in the Brecon beacons with Pen y Fan at the half way point. It was bliss.
I'm doing the national 3 peaks challenge next month so need up get some practice in. |

"How about you OP?
When was the last time you did something for yourself?
What was it?"
I went out last month to celebrate a friends 30th. Technically not for myself, but it was still nice.
I need a day where I don’t have to interact with other humans. |

Aww Julie, it really sucks your night was ruined!  I hope you manage to get your car fixed quick enough and you get another night out planned! |

Cat café? There are a few humans organising it, but they've all become much more cat than human via repeated exposure... |

So...something animal-y would be good, away from humans, but not cats.
I'm sure the minds on this thread can suggest a few things.
Half a day horse-riding is my opener...over to the rest... |

This might sound like a humble-brag, but it's not intended to at all...
Spent over a month in Sri Lanka years ago (aye, my ex of 15 years is Sri Lankan): still arguably the most profound experience of my life.
Her father I loved. Shared the same dry and absurd sense of humour of the Marx Brothers.
He took me fishing for the first (and unfortunately last) time. We were there 4/5 hours. 30 degrees, perfect blue skies.
Caught nothing, but it mattered not a jot. Glorious experience.
I try to do it at least once a month "

Bogged off to Tenerife for 5 days in Feb, cheap and cheerful and best thing I’ve done in ages. More day to day, took the day off a few weeks ago, went to the gym then went for a cheeky cake and cocktail in my favourite bistro cafe. |

Yeah put her in your suitcase.
Some of my family think I am having a mid life crisis. I reckon might as well have one, it's all the rage these days, wouldn't want to be left out. What do women do in a midlife crisis?  |

I'm having one this year. It involves lots of travel adventures, saying no more often , asking for what I want, saying sorry less and generally being a little bit selfish. I highly recommend it |

That sounds like a plan, we're all gonna be dead in 100 years so might as well go out disgracefully, on that cheery note...  |
