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.

  • My weekends are often spent working on my house which has been a project for quite some years. I tend to get stuck into it and then have a spell of not having any enthusiasm to do it anymore, I then give myself a bit of a hard time until I get back into it. There’s a pattern there for sure. I also like to spend as much time with my children as I can and love going out in nature and motor biking (not both at the same time as that would not be fair on the wildlife) I also like to watch tv, do some gaming and watch movies. 
    I have spent most of this weekend thinking and preparing for an upcoming party next weekend, which I am honestly dreading. I always make it through one way or another but it’s painful and I don’t belong.

    I can completely relate to you on a few things here: I also find my motivation coming and going in waves - I find establishing a routine helps with this but that's difficult to do when you're working an a house and you've got various different projects going on inside of the big project itself. I also get anxious about upcoming social events and I avoid the vast majority of them.

    Also I've read your profile, and I'd love to know what you think about the latest Wallace & Gromit film, I absolutely loved it.

    I watched it in bits in between doing food and running around after children over Christmas,

    I really should watch it properly all the way through though as from what I saw I loved it. I love that type of animation. Did you enjoy??

    It was amazing. You can tell it's much more modern, with a higher quality animation and characters, and you can see a sprinkling of diversity too. However, it's still very much got that classic W&G humour and style, and I absolutely loved it.
