So we have a whole section to ourselves here in Bremen, and no-one is posting in it.
I'm bored and I thought perhaps someone else from Bremen might have some suggestions for fun things for an unfit middle-aged single man to do at the weekend.
I'm bored.
Re: I'm bored.
Going for a bike ride and going to hear live music never fail to entertain me. Assuredly something you possess is broken. Imagine if you fixed it, how productive, capable and self-reliant you'd feel. Another sure-fire positive activity for me is to call someone with whom I've lost touch.
Hope this helps,

Re: I'm bored.
I’m very boring….no sky diving for me 
. I feel like I’ve hibernated all winter faffing with divorce stuff etc. Spring makes everything better though.
I go forest walking and chat with dog walkers. Or, go and do front garden tidying. Nice neighbours always stop for a gossip. I get the sympathy head tilt as it’s common knowledge we’re divorcing.
Spring clear out maybe? Take stuff to a charity shop….they can be a bit fussy though. No idea why they didn’t want my Christmas decorations in June
. They did take them eventually as the deco was really nice.
I often put stuff outside, put an ad on a local Facebook group and Kleinanzeigen.de for free stuff for collection same day. Even anything a bit defective goes quickly for those who like to fix things. Anything from buckets, plant pots to bags of sorted clothes, toys etc
Sell stuff on Kleinanzeigen.de and local Facebook groups.
Start a local Facebook group…walking, hobbies, anyone else bored etc. I started a ladies walking group a couple of years ago.
If you have a garden/balcony spruce it up. Take before and after photos….nice to see how well you’ve done.
Up cycle something….small bits of furniture maybe? Loads of advice online. I found a little old wooden stool at my mum’s house. When I used to visit my grandparents as a kid, my cousins and I used to fight over who could sit on it. I’ll soon ChatGPT how to remove the paint (check for mercury) etc. As I’ve hundreds of houseplants, it’s bound to end up as a plant stand.
I used to do a challenge with my daughter….we’d go to a second hand/charity shop, each choose something and then sell on eBay for a profit. She had a better eye than me.
If you like animals, offer to dog walk for a shelter. Or any other kind of help they may need.
Learn something….IT stuff, cooking etc? I was thinking of asking a furniture restorer if they could teach me some basics.
I wish you a lovely weekend. I’m off to do garden pruning….
