How do you spend the weekend?

of course if there's a slam final i make myself completely unavailable to the rest of the world for the duration it's likely to be on. "when have i EVER been available on wimbledon women's final day?" as i asked someone last year in flabbergasted horror

I like Jordan's daily "make hits"

love these productive ilxors

get to sleep an hour or 2 later than I am throughout the rest of the week.
read a book. Walk around town, meet people.
go buy veg at the market on Saturday.
Not spend about 4 hours a day on Mavis Beacon. Or is it more on weekdays these days anyway?
Watch some tv, hopefully a film or 2. Or Kim Possible on a Saturday morning.

Friday night - drink wine, watch telly.
Saturday - either go to the football or, if Celtic aren't playing at home, meet pals in pub for an afternoon of watching football, with occasional betting on horse-racing thrown in. Occasionally have dinner in town and stay out, usually home with a takeaway to watch a film or some no-brainer tv. If I've been at the football, we usually have a lazy dinner (pizza or similar) in front of the tv, crack open a bottle of wine and watch a film.
Sunday - watch sport until my eyes bleed while making a proper Sunday dinner. Pub quiz in the evening.
late Sunday night - regret not having done anything productive with my weekend. Vow to have more weekends away/spend time with my other friends/go to comedy shows or gigs/visit family. Know I'll probably not do this next weekend either.

Friday night is horror movie night.
Saturday I like to walk around the neighborhood with the dogs so we can see the neighbors. Sometimes see family.
Saturday night, music / reading / movies. Take out food.
Sunday - read papers, sometimes church, oldies night for music, occasionally roller skating.

it's funny, maybe i should be glad (and i don't mean this in a bad way) that nick's weekend terrifies me. i just mean for my own personal time of life at the moment.

i don't ever like to have anything planned at the weekend but the routines are there i guess.

Friday: I like to meet friends after work, sometimes around somewhere diff to where I live as I am commuting home anyway. Maybe go out for dinner or go to a bar that does good food. I don't tend to stay out too late on a Friday, though there are exceptions.

Saturday: Morning can vary a lot, sometimes go for a run with friends (I run alone during the week.) Other times I might have a lie in, though not that often, usually get up early at the weekends regardless of nights out etc, even if I regret it sometimes by Monday. Could also go shopping, and/or walk out somewhere for breakfast or lunch with friends.

Afternoon might involve watching sport if there's something on, in the pub or at home, depending on how much I care about it. Evening I would cook occasionally on a Saturday and then always go out somewhere, Saturday tends to be a bigger night out but I have not had many hardcore sessions of late.

Sunday is often my favourite day, I have taken it easy the last few but that was after a long stretch of going to the pub every Sunday. I think people's humour and manner is at its best by the time Sunday comes around and I love having Mondays off.

I often feel tired on a Monday and not properly rested, but I have chronic health problems which mean I never feel "okay" anyway, and half the time how I feel is about as predictable as rolling a dice, regardless of what I've done in the preceding days. So I tend to just fire through.

my midweek is pretty restful though, i should add. i seldom if ever drink wine/beer midweek with meals and only really go out if there's a specific reason like a date or a friend visiting for a night or something. occasionally go out thursdays but less and less.

It usually works out that I socialise more during the week and mostly spend the weekend hanging out with my girlfriend.

Friday: either work late, meet friends for drinks or catch a meal and a film with my gf.
Saturday: lie in, often do gardening, bit of a run, sometimes have friends over, sometimes go into town for a meal/film if we didn't do that on Friday.
Sunday: household stuff, either have a race or a long run (2-3 hours), usually spend the evening catching up on work.

Need to rethink weekends.

^ Still this.

Trying to make a pair of jeans and then finding out that it didn't line up properly since I'd started sewing before I had the front line under the waistband straight.
So having to totally unpick both legs.
Quite frustrating in that aspect.

Went downtown to buy an Indian takeaway which was good and normally is. The cook Kawal is worth visiting if you're in the middle of Galway on a Sunday, St Nicholas market on Sunday afternoon now Friday afternoon for something like the next 8 weeks too, hopefully permanently

Finished a jacket on Friday night too I think, maybe that was thursday.

I recently had the thought "I need a hobby".

Hmm.

Just ended my twelfth month of working a 9-to-5. back when i was in school, part-time or odd-hours employed, I used to go out every night, and there wasn't much distinction between the week and the weekend (most of my friends still live that life, and it can be hard to corral them into coordinating activities to fit my weekend-warrior lifestyle), and i would waste time freely; entire days spent on the couch, with a laptop or a book, drinking cup after cup of coffee, nibbling on whatever i had in the fridge, eventually smoke some weed and curl up. but yeah, with the job... now weekends are so precious to me now, yet i'm still struggling to shake off my habit of wasting them away. my ideal weekend is something like, going out dancing or for drinks at least one of friday or saturday, yoga one of saturday or sunday, one languorous morning of hungover reading drinking coffee and listening to music, dinner at my mom's sunday night, walk to the market and cook a nice meal with my gf.

i stilll like to go out on a weekend, but i can't manage more than a one (proper) night a week now. there's definitely something to be said for having a hangover-free weekend too, so more recently i'm embracing weekends where there is no wedding or stag do or birthday or mate's club night to attend.

played a gig on friday, slept until 1pm on saturday then went and rode bike across town to bars for a pal's bday. then went to bed at like 10 due to having been up until 3 the night before. woke up early and made a lazy/slow breakfast, got to read the paper. practied some music, caught up with my bro and sis at a brewery, played adult rec league kickball game with pals, made a big pot of chili. pretty much my ideal weekend

Went to a screening Saturday morning, lunched, met a bro for drinks + dinner. On Sunday, I wrote ,mopped, and visited my grandmother. I met J0rdan for lunch + beer and dined a few hours later with a friend, wife, and godson.

How will you be spending Bank Holiday Monday?
