How to help 'cabin fever' on mat leave?

I'm a FTM and my partner takes our one car to work Tuesday-Friday. I live in a small town and I am lucky enough to have a couple of nice walks nearby but there is only one baby group a week within walking distance, and not much to do in the town itself.

I try not to enforce too many chores on school nights because it's already rushed with homework and dinner.
