What is your weekend routine? How do you relax, or are you the get up and go kind of person. I don't think I know how to relax.
Weekends are for doing stuff i never got around to during the week.
Since I retired, I have trouble distinguishing between days of the week. Sunday is still laundry day, so I know which day that is. Don't know what day is my day off. All of 'em? None of 'em?
I’m retired so can relax every day. On Sundays I buy the Sunday papers and spend most of the day reading them.
Saturday: work until 2. Get groceries, errands. Cleaned the main rooms of the house
Sunday: make a huge 2pm meal. Then binge watch my DVR/Netflix/TPB list
I'm up, as I am every day, at 3:30 AM, then sip cho-wa tea and eat some spicy Thai sardines, and locally baked fish crisp chips from here in Songkhla, Thailand.
I ride my "gallopers" up and down the long hallway, and do 10 pull-ups in my room, climb the stairs to my 5th floor just for exercise. I steam a sticky rice roll with crushed fruit center, baked in banana leaves at 7:30 AM (19 cents) .
At 8:30 AM, I walk to a local vendor stall and purchase a slice of cooked squash, a slice of corn on the cob, and a few lettuce greens, all for 4 baht (12 cents).
I am looking at birds along the way, and at 10 AM I walk the 14 block round trip to Tesco-Lotus Songkhla, to get a KFC ice cream cone and slice of chocolate brownie cake from a Thai bakery, where I sit and read from my Kindle app on a Huawei tablet.
I walk everywhere since I sold my motorbike, and exotic birds are everywhere also. I often take cheap local songtheaw bus/pickup trucks downtown and to nearby locations.
On Sundays (today, here in Thailand) I sometimes go to the huge downtown outdoor marker for certain purchases.
I read Kindle books and watch Netflix.
I think I need to come and visit you.
@Jolanta Sure..the weather is perfect, and so is the Thai food!
@birdingnut Maybe next year. I have just come back from my big holiday this year.
@Jolanta Wait. Don't you live in warm, sunny Canberra? I skipped visiting there when I was in Australia and Tasmania in 2005 but as far as I could see, Australia is a birding paradise. Thailand has you beat in prices, of course, but I ate in Chinatown in Sydney and the cost was low.
i don't have a routine on weekends and don't have one for all weekdays either, but sleep is big. i like sleep.

p.s. i am capable of making my own typos but i KNOW i didn't type what the system substituted for "don't" and now that i have edited to correct it, i don't know what else the system will change! pardon me if anything else weird pops up!
