I wake up after a nice, long sleep in, head to the shower and then trundle to the kitchen to put the kettle on. I fill my bowl with crunchy nut cornflakes, pour on the milk, then make my tea and sit at my kitchen table to look out the window to think over my coming day. Some Saturdays I like to just be home alone to do what I want. Mostly read, watch a film, bake or go for a walk out of town. I never get the urge to call someone for a chat because I think alone time is important when you spend all week with people and hardly get any time to yourself. I drink quite a lot of tea, I like to try different brands, mostly Yorkshire tea, Typhoo or English Breakfast which I always have in the mornings. It's the best.
I get up at various times. I have a cat and the cat has NEEDS!!!! If he is feeling needy, he will jump up on the bed, and start batting me in the face with one sharp claw...🤣🤣🤣
Then I have to get up and clean his dish out, and mash his food, and feed him. Sometimes, if it is late enough, I will take my vitamins and a caffeine capsule and have a glass of water.
I hop onto SW, and wake up here...mostly. Sometimes I have to bargain with myself..."No SW until you've done your chores!" 🤣🤣🤣
Use the first several minutes trying to process what day of the week it is. Then smile knowing no one has to work that day. Make coffee. Gather my wits with every sip taken. Do a few chores. Make breakfast. Wake everyone up then we all decide the path of the day.
@ArtieKat I [u]love[/u] Lapsang Suchong so very much, and I [u]used to[/u] drink [i]Twinings Lapsang Suchong[/i] almost daily when it was still available. They don't make it anymore 😐
@ArtieKat Yes but I can't find it. There's a "smokey" replacement offered by Twinings, but it's just that, smokey. It's not the same kind of tea. I think it's based on ordinary Assam tea.
Wake up at 6.30am to the sound of my 13 year old turning the kitchen upside down . . she hasn't yet grasped the concept of teenagers lying in bed all day. Eggs and tea in my dressing gown, followed by a long bath. Then ferrying my daughter between judo, gymnastics and visiting her granddad. Long walk in the afternoon with anyone who will join me. Family dinner in the evening.
Wake up, possibly go to the gym, coffee, bible study, possibly have breakfast with my wife if she isn't yelling at her relatives over the phone in SiLozi or Nyanja, then do my uni coursework for the day (yeah, working 5 days a week isn't enough), then read some Christian literature, finish off with a film.
Out of uni season definitely have some mates around.
@Jemimapuddleduck Thankyou, the most fulfilling days are Sundays ATM, get to go to church and then do some leisurely reading of my hobbies- wine and astronomy!
Usually a bit of coffee and time with The Hound before I beat the crazies to the grocery store. I try to knock everything out Saturday morning so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I actually get up relatively early, take out the garbage and recycling, go for a short walk, return, shower and then make a "weekend" breakfast (eggs, bacon or sausage, good coffee), watch a favorite tv show. Then the rest of the day I take care of other things, or get together with friends, etc.
