Bored in Greystones!

Overthrow

Hi folks,
I've moved down to Greystones temporarily, probably for the Winter time. I work from home, and dear God am I bored at this stage. I'm used to working in a nice studio in the city centre with other people.

I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on things to do around the place? I don't drive at the moment so that could be a problem.

Thanks!

Being bored is a state of mind brought on by lack of imagination

Thanks for the replies folks. Nice to see some suggestions but also a bit disheartening to see 'ironing' and 'take the train somewhere else' as some of the suggestions

Rollerderby looks like a laugh but I'm a guy so I think that counts me out.

Well how about Tennis, Soccer, Gaelic football and Hurling, Rugby, Golf.
Having a pint, a nice walk around the seafront. Fishing. God the place is full of clubs and things to do if you are ready to try.

oldlegs - the sister doesnt believe that boredom is a 'state of mind lacking in imagination' er, i do, SO first topic of 'bored in greystones meetUP (club) ISSSSSS boredom due to lack of imagination, nice brown table for six with extensive area to sit and chat and more besides, to discuss er, more than six chairs 'hundreds of chairs' bit of exagg but still debate is imminent

Mr Diamond

I wish I had the time to be bored.
There's too much to do! I work from home in Greystones too and while it can get a bit solitary at times, it still feels like I'm on holiday everytime I go out the door. Its a really lovely place.

Overthrow - what do you do? You mention a studio in the city so I'm guessing its something creative? I'd be interested in hearing what you discover as I'm looking for something along the creative lines to do in the town too. Writing or art, perhaps?

Honestly!

LMAO at Oldlegs sugestion of Ironing as a pastime Nice one
If anyone does this for enjoyment, I am willing to open up my house for weekly meets and I'll even provide all the equipment, including shirts etc., and maybe even a cup of tea at half time.

not sure if its your thing but Greystones Yoga up on the Main St is really good, I've been going for a couple of years and I love it. Theres a mens class on Mondays but also a good few regular guys in the other classes. Theres also frequent weekend workshops and guest instructors.
