What do you do on a weekend?

orangutan

As the title says, really.

I find that on a weekend I get up fairly early (5:15AM) as I don't like doing lie-ins. I'll then head to the gym at some point that morning and do a class or two, or perhaps just do a workout/swimming session and/or spend time in the spa. More often than not, I have absolutely nothing else planned for the weekend, meaning I have two long afternoons that drag out and I do nothing but procrastinate, making me feel unproductive and bringing my mood down.

I used to enjoy gaming and I do still occasionally, but not so much now, and it feels like such a waste of time when I do it. I'm trying to be more forgiving with myself, and right now I'm laid in bed watching Impractical Jokers, which I enjoy and don't feel so bad about doing, but it'd be nice to have some more things to fill my weekend with.

I'd like to know what everyone else gets up to on the weekend.

  • Normally my weekends don't consist of much. I always try to stay in because places are busier on the weekend, though this last weekend I had to drive to Glasgow to pick up my sister and brother-in-law, very stressful as there was so much traffic.

    Most weekends are normally slower paced where I stay in, listen to music and draw. Sometimes I go out for a walk but most of the time I'll stay inside and draw.

    Yep, I hate how busy places can be on the weekend, and I really dislike traffic - luckily I start work at 8 so I avoid a lot of it!

    What music do you like? Do you listen to music and draw at the same time, or do you separate the two?

    Lucky you avoiding the madness first thing. I hate busy traffic, it can quickly become overwhelming navigating through it.

    I like pop music, really enjoy 60s pop and 80s music. The Beatles are one of my fave groups, love their upbeat fun 60s sound. It depends on what I'm drawing but normally I draw and listen to music at the same time. If I get to a really difficult part of my drawing I continue in silence to help me concentrate.

    What music do you like? Have you got a fave song?

    I like older music, typically classic rock with quite a bit of metal. I also like classical music and "medieval" music - such as stuff from the Augsburg Early Music Ensemble. I listen to music whilst at the gym and sometimes whilst driving, but I often like to drive or do other things in silence too.

    I don't think I really have a favourite song at the moment honestly. And no worries about the reply, I've been at work anyway!
