It was raining heavily last evening. I was quite unhappy about it because I wanted to go out running in the park; I've been missing my exercises because of work, and was hoping to go yesterday evening. Anyway, the rain spoiled my plan. I sulked for a bit, lol, until I started to think "What can I do to pass the time, or wait out the rain?" Then, I remembered that I bought a book two weeks ago which I never got around to read because I was busy. So I thought, "Why not? Now's a good time to start on the book, since I can't go out anyways!" So I read my book, and before I knew it, it was already dark and the rain had stopped a long time ago! I didn't have time to run after all, but I thought it was still time well-spent because I managed a few chapters of my new book.
So, friends, I figured from now on, when it rains, I'll just grab a book and read. What would you do on a rainy day and you're forced to stay indoors? Do you read, or are there other things you do instead?

If the children are busy doing there own things then I like to bake cakes or catch up on the cleaning and ironing.
If we want ot od something we go out and do something indoors. The last time it rained here we went to the swimming pool and had fun.
I like also to bake with the children and chill out and watch a film

It depends what chores they are, sometimes it is good ot get into the children's bedrooms and help them tidy up etc, loud music helps. Also its good ot get ahead with the chores so when its nice you can go out and leave a tidy house... but sometimes its good ot leave the mess there and watch a film instead

Anne, sometimes it is depending on our mood. When we are lazy, we can always spend some time staying at home, tidying our home. There are just plenty of chores to be done around our home. Indeed, watching film is a great activity to be spend together with our family.

Hello!
Swimming at a warm indoor pool while it's raining outside is fun and great. Haha, but first I'd actually have to go out of the house and drive out to the swimming pool! But, yes, I like it too. We actually did that the other day - my little niece and I - when it rained. I wanted to have a bit of exercise done, so I figured swimming was it. I hate doing any chores around the house though 
Have a nice day baking and stuffs

Lynn, reading is the best thing to do on rainy day. I would read my favorite magazine or doing some reading activity with my son. If the internet connection is alright, then i would go online and watch video. If the weather is very windy with thunderstorm, then i would sort my store room. At least, i don't waste my time during those moments.

Yes, nowadays it is raining season in my area, too. But, it is lucky to have sunny day today. You seems having the interest to read a lot. Why don't you download some reading application or program on your cellphone or computer? So, you don't have to spend money into buying books. Nowadays things are getting expensive, same goes for books.

Oh, I do like to read a lot. I'm a bookworm 
I actually have downloaded some reading apps to my laptop because I always download so many reading materials to read. But I also like to buy books. It's one of my few indulgences in life: books. I mean, between a new dress and a book I really, really like? I'll buy the book, lol! It's worth it to me, but thanks for the suggestions

Exactly! Just because it rains doesn't mean times are wasted! I love reading too, and I just finished my book couple of days ago, haha! I might have to buy several more, since it looks like the rainy season is starting for real. it'll rain regularly all the way until February next year. That's how the season is. Watching movies on youtube is great too, lots of free movies there 
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!

I used to just stay in the house when it is raining. I just wanted to stay at home watching TV or movies, listening to music and eat and eat and eat. I always love to eat and crave for my favorite foods while the rain is pouring.

Watching TV or movies, and listening to music at home when it rains is good. I like doing those as well. And I also love to eat. But since the rainy season is definitely beginning already, and it's been pouring almost every day now, I don't think eating, eating and eating every time it rains is good, unless I want to gain many pounds by the time this rainy season ends, lol! myfb2009 is right, ardoy, don't overeat 
Have a nice day

Definitely always something interesting to discuss I come when i can, and also spread my free time doing other things around the house. The good thing about the rain is I finally managed to get soe house-chores done, haha!! Happy mylotting!

Yay, another book-lover! I love to read, I'm a book-worm 
I hate cleaning though, but a poster above created "danscleaning' so I'm using her idea to make it fun, haha I don't know how to do cross-stitch, but maybe I can use the time to learn, hmmm.... In fact, you can use the rainy time to start learning a few things, yes Thanks, and Happy myLotting!

I dont like to go outside when it rains here. Streets dont drain well. So i always try and find somewhere to clean. The other day it rained here, so I decided to clean my sons closet out. Of course I saw the xmas stuff and took it out.

So you ended up doing your Christmas decorations early? Good idea. Who knows when something else might come up and take up my time, so i might as well start decorating too. A few people I know already has their trees up, in November, lol! I think people are getting very excited!! Happy decorating

Well, I mean if you have it at your own convenience, I'd personally say that the internet is one way of passing the time for sure.. MyLot, in fact is one of them in my opinion. ;) YouTube, for my daily shows, then reddit for a couple of laughs.. I would probably only resort to the book when I think I don't have anything else I could do..

True, true. What better time to come to myLot than during a rainy day/evening, whatever But I've been staring at the computer screen for a better part of the day, so when I'm home I like to do something else. Still, it's good that you're myLotting a lot, so good luck with it

When rain came, I will more prefer to stay at home, searching on internet, watching movie or maybe I will try to sleep. I think, sleeping is very enjoyed action that can we do. Or sometimes I just watch rain and see the sky. I like at that moment. It can make my feeling be peace.
