There are too many mosquitoes, wasps and artificial lights that eyefuck me from every angle to enjoy any time on my porch. So I stay inside.

Rarely. I stay inside most of the time.

Never, I can just open my windows for fresh air while still keeping a screen between me and mosquitos.

Never. I like to stay in my study or bedroom.

I go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette multiple times a day.

I like to listen to podcasts and music while sitting on the windowsill, but my balcony is too cluttered at the moment.

I only really have a patio out in my yard, as the porch out in the front is far too narrow. I guess I could put a chair outside it, but out there is just the street and houses, it's noisy.

Out in my yard I have a swinging egg chair that's pretty nice to sit in to read stuff in nice weather, but I don't like being outside if my neighbours are also out, as the fence we share is very low....not much privacy apart from my cherry tree/hedge that covers some parts.

So not often basically lol

Few-several times a day as I smoke cigarettes on my balcony.

I spend about 12 hours every night or so on my back patio that has bug zappers; smoking, drinking and watching youtube, anime, and movies that get auto downloaded onto my plex server.

I barely spend any time on the balcony, It's not in my room and I have no desire to chill there. I guess if I ever came back to reading books chilling there would be pretty neat, but that's something me from the future will think about.

Literally, all the time but sleep and trips I spend in the garden. Absolutely, wholeheartedly hate walls. These white walls, they drive me mad. They whisper "kill, kill, kill", and hand me over a hammer. But I'm a decent person! I resist... most of the time! You better pray my car is always charged.

Not a lot. The sun burns my eyes like a raygun and I have to look after the cats or hear them yell bloody murder inside if I'm outside without them

Not much time, but I do sit outside with my dog for a little bit most nights.

Not a whole lot, it's usually too hot or too cold, and I have too much to do inside anyway.

@JaniSIr You sound like a perfect "wife material". Could you picture *me* painting it white?

None. When it gets fixed—painted, have sofa set up, and cleaned—I’ll try it.

We've got a pretty nice side deck that looks out to the mountain. If it's a nice day and I'm in the mood, I enjoy sitting out there and reading.

Depends on the weather, but maybe 10 minutes a day on average?
I have to water my plants after all

But if a friend comes over we usually hang out on the balcony so that quickly transforms into an hour or two

Practically zero time, my porch is in pretty bad shape. My family only uses it for grilling
I'm either crashing out or fujoing out.

the only thing my balcony is good for is smoking and I dont smoke that much so I use it a couple times a week. Barely enough space to hang some laundry. It was literally made for one and a half person, ashtray, two glasses and a bottle. Wow, that sounded so romantic, I am such a poet 🤭

My balcony is concrete and has a tremendous view, so I spend a lot of time out there when the weather permits. The weather mostly does not permit.
It is either 100s degrees or there's rain. But in fall I am out there almost every night. There are no bugs, it's the city, I'm up high

Maybe an hour or so a night? One of my favorite summer pastimes is having a nice juicy watermelon and sitting on our front porch bench enjoying the cool night air. We've even had some watermelons grow from us spitting out the seeds because of it in that area. XD

Hahaha! I know right? They never grew very big due to where they ended up being planted at, but they made free nice snack.

Personally I like reading outside, so sometimes, if I don't want to go for a walk and listen to my audiobook, I will read out there.

Quite a bit of time when it is in the summer and the spring. I like to look up at the sky and just breath in the air. In the winter I will sit on the windowsill inside and have a cup of tea.
