I suppose it does sound a little silly from me because I didn't got out much before this new body came a knocking but it really can be dreadfully boring not being able to go out until night, especially on these long summer days. It's just making me feel more tired!

A little mind and body stimulation might be good. Does anyone have some books or board games to recommend? Or maybe just want to head out to do something in the night? Hopefully a run or something, while I can still do that!

I swear my bones have been aching for the last week or so, like my age is coming back on me hard.

Why can't go out at night?

[matchbreaker]

That's the only time I *can* go out, actually

[thexiv]

Whys that?

[matchbreaker]

Because I'll burn in the sun, thanks to some changes to my body.

Oh, I got a bunch of books I could recommend! Any particular genres you enjoy? Or know you don't?
You could try some kind of handcrafting? Like whittling or crocheting.

And I'd totally be up for a night run. I do most of my exercising in the evenings when it's cooler anyway.

[matchbreaker]

Oh I can crochet very well, it just feels like such a lonely old thing to do here in my house.

But for books... I don't think I really understand all those scifi books.

[doesntdiscriminate]

I guess I can get that. I think that's pretty cool though, I'm hopeless when it comes anything that involves yarn. (´꒳`;)

Do you like short stories? I could recommend some anthologies which might help you find some authors you like.

Also, if you don't mind me asking; why can't you do out during the day?

[penalizing]

there's all sorts of fun board games!!!
is there a particular type you like better than others???
that might help with giving more specific recommendations...

though you can always make up your own rules to board games if you don't like any of the ones you find, too!!

[matchbreaker]

Golly if you're making your own rules though, can anyone even follow it?

I've played Joker for years and years, and Monopoly sometimes? I'm quite a hand at Scrabble.

[penalizing]

you can teach them to the other people you're playing with, and then you all play by those rules!!!
or i guess if you're feeling mean or sneaky, you could keep the rules a secret...
but usually when we made up rules, we all knew them beforehand

if you like word games, there's games like scattergories and balderdash???
they're a little different than scrabble, but similar ideas, i think...

[me_matey]

Do you need me to get anything for you, obaachan?

[matchbreaker]

Oh no, dear, I wasn't trying to push you one way or the other, just being a bit bored

[me_matey]

And I wasn't feeling pushed, but you did mention something about aches so I wanted to see if I could help.

[vitis]

damn
yeah you could stand for some livelier hobbies

[ HE'S ONE TO TALK.. ]

[matchbreaker]

I used to do water aerobics, but I can't much do that now

[vitis]

is it really getting that much worse?

[manufactured]

If you ever want company, you can just ask me, you know.

[matchbreaker]

In the dead of the night?

[manufactured]

I imagine that you'll know whether you want company or not before some completely ungodly hour...?

[dulynoted]

It sounds like you could use more than a book.

[matchbreaker]

Possibly, yeah! A new hobby or two would be good.

[dulynoted]

I'm surprised reading through Retrospec hasn't kept you busy.

[yakan]

You know shogi, go, or mahjong?
You could learn an instrument or two or something.

[matchbreaker]

I do know Shogi but nor mahjong.

But oh that's true.

[yakan]

They're not all that difficult to learn. If you want to play any of them some time, I'd be up for it. I also know a place for late-night mahjong too, but it's not really for somebody who doesn't know it yet.

There are lots of them, anything that's of interest would be possible.
