I feel your pain.

My answer “ ah, it was quiet, you know yourself “

In reality, I watched trashy tv when the kids went to bed or very rarely, played cards against humanity with my OH.

Everyone knows I’m boring af
All small talk is bullsh1t.

I'm trying to come up with different answers.. 'It was quite' / grand.... I don't want to bull****..... I just wish people would stop asking me 'how was your weekend', what did you do'?

Flies, has anyone had a flies coming into their home?.... I had and Googled for a solution.. There's many solutions out here but I found that putting a glass/jug of water with sugar it in kept them away. I only had brown sugar. Seems to have worked.

And don't mind what anyone asks , sure they're probably saying they done this that and the other when in reality they were probably at home too .

I boiled the kettle then added it to the sugar.... I still have the balcony door open and all the windows open but I've had no flies since I put this remedy out.
