Each evening, after dinner and cleaning up, I'd have my shower, and would look forward to spending the rest of the evening, relaxing! I'd either read a book, watch TV (if my favourite shows are on), watch a movie on DVD, or sit down at the pc, and get onto myLot. This is the best part of the day, where I get to do the things I'd enjoy so much .
How about you? How do you spend your evenings after dinnertime?

I aim to have finished on the internet by then. If not, I will finish off what I need to do online first.
It's really my time to enjoy my rest and relaxation after all my daytime activities and things I needed to get done during the day.
I usually focus on reading for a few hours before bedtime.
I may go out for an hour earlier in the evening and later in the evening I may put my headphones on and just listen to the radio. I can do this comfortably either in bed or before getting ready for bed.

I dont go early to bed. I spend the time after my dinner either with my computer or with books. I found that it is the best time to study also. It is easier for me to concentrate on anything this time. So, generally I do the most important tasks this time. If I've got enough time to relax still I dont go to bed after dinner. I spend atleast 2-3 hrs by net surfing or listning to music or reading books.

After dinner, I would usually go down to the park to have a walk to digest my dinner or I will go and watch TV..
Normally, I would prefer to go down for a walk because I think it is more healthier than watching TV but of course when I am lazy, I would also stay at home and watch TV..
Sometimes if my relative come over for dinner, I would stay at home and play chess with my relatives after the dinner...

i guess dinner in my family is the best time for us since we are all present during this time..while on the table we talk about anything that happen to us during the day or the past few days..and afterward its our routine that we watch dvds i the living room..its fun actually doing that...my time for my lot is usually in the morning and then noon before i take a nap and before dinner time..but just an average of 30 to 45 minutes each log in session...

It's so nice to have the family around during dinner time - at least to talk about their day at work or school, or just general talk! It's something many families do not do nowadays - either someone is working late, working different shifts or that everyone eats off their own plates at the TV!
Thanks for sharing and have a good day!

If I don't work a night shift, I eat dinner, go out for a walk (2-3 miles), come back in, take a shower, then either read or watch TV. Or I will walk down to my garden and see how it's growing. :) If I'm working that night, I eat, take a shower and change my clothes..lol...

My evenings are very ordinary these days - cook dinner, clear up, have shower, watch a bit of telly and pop down to the computer now and then to check emails, etc. Then to bed with the paper and (if I'm still awake) a good book. I listen to the radio plugged into my ear until I fall asleep!

After dinner, I relax for a while then I take a shower. Since I'm always at work everyday, I make up for the lost time with my little daughter by reading or storytelling or playing;before I can really do my stuff like reading or updating my blog or go to sleep.

I never do the same thing every day. It all depends on the day and what I feel like doing. Sometimes I go out to see my friends or my boyfriend. Other times I go to a party or something. Sometimes I spend the rest of the night nibbling at bits and pieces. I also watch the TV some nights or come on the internet, which includes Mylot. I have recently done a lot of cross stitching.

After I clean up and everything I usually like to sit and relax of course in front of the television. I like to watch a good comedy. It kind of helps to unwind for the evening. Some people smoke after dinner, however I don't smoke so that leaves me out for that. I also spend some more time with my son and husband. I'll even get back on the computer if I get the chance.

What I do after dinner are either watch TV or face the computer again. It's embarrassing to say but I'm not that hygienic so I often don't go brushing my teeth and having a shower and all that jazz. Basically I will stick to the TV if there's any good programs but if not, I'll just face my good friend, the computer. I will either surf the net or play games or both. And then 9 o'clock I'll power on the Air conditioning unit. Use the computer some more. Around 2 in the morning I'll shut off the Air conditioning unit, and then surf a little more, and then sleep. The air conditioning unit is killing me, forcing me to be awake until 2 just so I can turn it off and save money.
