If you had to live your own Groundhog Day

This is an interesting point. In retrospect, I’d have to choose a day where very little is expected of me, so there’s the opportunity to do things / change things, but in general, I can have a chill day quite easily if I fancy it.

I might do day after wedding. Day itself was fun, but kind of stressful. I didn’t feel like I could fully enjoy it.

Day after we sat about on Wimbledon Common, drinking pints in the sun. Got pizzas delivered. Went for a Turkish in the evening. All the while, happy in the knowledge I no longer had to spend a single second organising a f**king wedding.

Like @lyserge I’d choose a day at a festival for similar reasons but I’d be at Primavera Barcelona so there would be even more bonuses :smiling_face:

Waking up in a comfy hotel bedroom, have lots of hot air conditioned hotel room sex, there’s a pool, I can use the day to go to the festival or to explore Barcelona or both! I can go to the beach, try every restaurant and cafe in town and go to places which would usually be outside of my budget. Do all the cultural stuff I barely have time for usually.
I’d have the option of hanging out with friends (some of my very best friends too :smiling_face:) all day/some of the day or just doing my own thing. I could read loads and loads of books, I could relax or party.
And the weather will be beautiful and sunny every day :sun_with_face:

this is a good shout and something that sprung to my mind too.
There is SO much happening in one place over the course of a day at Glastonbury, not just on the stages, in fact that would be a relatively minimal part of it for me. Imagine the japes you could get into as you got to know the ins and outs of different people’s experiences and different things happening. I would make a personal goal of seeing how many different performances I could end up getting on stage and doing a song with them.

actually fucking hell this is a terrible idea. 4 or 5 days of Glastonbury is normally enough to put me off it for 4 or 5 years.

I used to live right next to London Bridge station. So it would be one of those days, due to ease of travelling to other places. It would have to be a Saturday so that the majority of people wouldn’t be working. And it would have to be sunny but not too hot.

Then I’d have some adventures.

Went to Alton Towers when the kids were about 12/13. There was no bugger there; the longest we waited for a rollercoaster was maybe 5 minutes. Absolutely dizzy from overdoing the rides by mid afternoon; it was brilliant fun.

I want that every day.

Just a normal none football saturday. Doing something exciting and then having to do it every day would be shit.

Currys for opening, biggest best tv i could find. Set a few films to be downloaded from a 8k pirate thing. Book a restaraunt and or good bar for the night, order a taxi there and back.
Spend a load of money as it all comes back the next day.
Probs kill someone that annoys me to see what it’s like once and then if i liked it get into murder maybe once every 30 days or something for a little treat.

Same as if i won the big euromillions basically

I’d just choose any random day then i’d find a woman i fancy and creepily find out what her favourite things are to impress her and make her fancy me too.

I’d go for that a in September 2013, when we were on holiday in Hawaii, without a care in the world. Wedding days are alright, but they’re a bit full on, aren’t they?

Reckon even in the nicest of spots you’d go insane within a month or two of Groundhoggery, start stealing motorbikes and going like GTA stunts just to see if you still wake up.

First full day of honeymoon. Specifically, breakfast in our private dining room in the tree canopy, watching the monkeys lark around (on the other side of a pane of glass, thankfully). Just amazing

Fun movie.

I’d go with the 30th of June 2021. Me, the TV and our two kids had hired a camper van for our first holiday since covid hit and were travelling down the west coast of Scotland visiting some of the islands and staying at quiet camp sites. We were on Arran, it was a lovely day, we stopped and spent the whole day at a tiny, beautiful beach that was pretty much ours (I think one other family were there for a little bit, about a mile away). I fucking hate the beach normally, but it was just the perfect family day. No tears, lots of laughter, swimming, ice cream and a barbeque. I genuinely hope it’s the memory that plays in my head when I depart this planet. It makes me teary thinking about it. The perfect day.
