Do you prefer relaxing by your swimming pool, by your family room fireplace or in your home theatre?

Choices. Choices... 🤔

PoetryNEmotion · F Best Comment

I prefer walking in the woods with my dogs. Walking on the beach sometimes. Or along the river. Relaxing in my living room occurs at night when I am home. I do not have a fireplace. That would be nice but not doable in my space. The days are too beautiful to stay indoors. And I also have gardening to do outside soon. I could also read on the deck or write too when it gets warmer.

@PoetryNEmotion Thank you.

@PoetryNEmotion

You have added relaxation as an activity. Bravo for that.

PoetryNEmotion · F

@RenFur All of my passions are relaxing. Thank you. I work full- time. Time off is precious to me. And I bring my interests with me to work. It is all good.

I prefer relaxing in my limo while being driven around by my butler, Jeeves.

@MsSwan By Jove, Jeeves, I think I'll have a brandy & Soda!

I prefer the spa out by the koi pond/water garden.

@Mamapolo2016

How peaceful that must be :)

Mamapolo2016 · F

@RenFur It must be.

Don't have a pool or a nice home theater, I guess by default it's fireplace but I'd probably pick it anyway.

@RenFur We may not agree on politics, but we both know great classic designs.

I'd love to relax by my swimming pool if I had any. Provided it's at least 24 °C, sunny and it's not me who has to take care of the pool. 😆

@samueltyler2 Maybe a lot depends on how far in summer you are too and how "heated up" the environment is. There's a difference between first few spring days reaching 24-25 °C and "colder" summer days when temperature drops from 30 to 24. But generally, if there was 24°C indoors I'd consider it very warm + imagine shining sun making it 34°C or so. Neighbours have a pool and they start using it when it's at least 24°C-25°C steadily.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@samueltyler2 But you're right, I'd consider visiting a public pool only when it's at least 30°C and I think most people here think that way too.

@CrazyMusicLover I though you are strongrrbtyan that.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@saragoodtimes

Um... r u single? 😁

saragoodtimes · F

@RenFur no

ArishMell · 70-79, M

No swimming-pool, no "home theatre" ( though I admit to not having the foggiest idea what one of those is!) and previous occupants had removed all the fireplaces.

I can relax in my small back garden, reading a book if I choose or just... relaxing.

Or indoors, with an interesting talk programme or decent music on the radio.

Or by a walk around the neighbourhood, perhaps on the coast not far away.

michaela2001 · 70-79, M

None of those in my house. Having said that, there is a fireplace in my house, but I can't think of a single reason to light a fire in what is, a mostly wooden house.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@michaela2001

I'm with you! No reason at all.

My swimming pool is the Bath Tub, my home theater is a 32" tv that is 10 years old.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Iwillwait

Actually, if there were an emoji that combined the LOL guy with the embrace/support guy I'd've used that for you.

Iwillwait · M

@RenFur Why? I am totally ok with not having those things.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Iwillwait

I have none of those things either.

@RedBaron

I took honors Economics and Math on the mistaken belief I wanted to be either a chartered accountant or an actuary. What a dunce I was. Accountancy and statistics bored me too tears. I flunked out after 2 years (I don't know how I made it that far).

RedBaron · M

@RenFur Me too, but they have little to do with taxes, which I’m great at, and running a tax preparation business, which I consider an easy way to make a living, especially working for myself at home.
