Someone asked what I do if I ever get a day off. Well, it's true that it's not very often but it does happen occasionally!
I occasionally do a thing where I would go to a bookshop, buy a book, and go and read it in a cafe. That's nice. More often, I gather the children onto my lap and sit and watch a film.
Even more often I spend the day in needlework or cooking. On Saturday, for example, I have a dinner party planned so I'm going to spend the day hidden in the kitchen. I just say this is a day on which I'm doing a thing for me, and do it.
There are a couple of games groups I could go to, which would be a day off thing to do, and poly meet, which is full of nice people but I still have to work my way up to it, so it's more of a date thing than a day off thing. I go to karate, which is just for me, but again, I take J which is educational. There's lots of stuff like that. The line between 'time off' and 'useful time' is just really blurred.
