Omg...I've been in that situation a couple of times, so now I have a spot in my garden , I arm myself with coffee flask some biscuits, even my digs know to be quiet, my husband doesn't come any where close to my spot, it's my space and I ain't sharing it with nobody lol.
My cell phone gets switched off too.
Thanks for sharing @galenkp and keep your space sacred.
I think many have been in this situation and whilst I'm exaggerating the situation a little it's still somewhat annoying right? I like the garden idea you have. I have a spot also but at the moment it's very hot here so an air conditioned café is preferable. It won't be long and I'll be sitting beside my fire pit relaxing at home and not having to worry about being intruded upon.
That sounds good @galenkp, enjoy your weekend. Go well.
