What do you do at the weekend?

[-]

mekekmekek@reddit

Well the friday can go two ways. Either one of my friends calls me up and friday/saturday are drinking and going out to a bar/houseparty days. Or it is buying all of the necessary stuff cooking for the week, chilling and taking care of myself. Then I also squeeze some work in every now and then or even more than necessary because I work on a project that has a lot of pressure on me. Sunday usally is finishing up what I didn't manage to do and relaxing. On some rare occasions I may go out alone do some stuff or just go visit my parents 3 hour drifve away by train or by car +and hour of weighted sets at home every other day.

I do park run every Saturday morning followed by a coffee. Such a great start to the weekend. I highly recommend it. The rest of the weekend is generally time spent with my wife and son but that park run starts my weekend in such a positive way.

I sometimes wonder if there’s a business operant I’m missing. I have a young family, and a pretty big garden that I have almost no time free to take care of. I understand there’s a long waiting list for allotments in many areas. I can’t help but feel like there’s some way our 2 groups could help each other out. Not sure how it would work, however.

Friday go out with friends either for a meal or drink or gig if they are around. Saturday see what is happening in Bristol join any day party or event l. If nothing interesting that day in town then do some hobbies stuff such as cycling racket sports art and craft or just reading or invite friend over for dinner party or board game night. Sunday usually is chore day with food shop, washing, cleaning and gardening, meal prep and a walk. Sunday evening just a drink at home and watch a film and go to bed early. Sometimes I have no energy to look for things to do / can’t be bothered that week I stay home and hoove the floor and call it a day lol In my 20s my friends are I were quite impromptu we texted each other and just met see how it goes. In 30s it’s always pre-booked and more and more friends stepping away from excessive drinking and leaning towards day party.

I was in my 30s twenty years ago, and single. My standard weekend was: 1. big drinking on a Friday night 2. Saturday was chores day - shopping, clothes, etc. and anything I needed. Or it would be a culture day to go and see a sight. 3. Saturday night was relax night with takeaway, beer and wine in my own company. 4. Sunday was DIY and detox day. Looking back and today’s parlance this was mental health day. It would be punctuated with the odd day out, birthdays and events but that was my 30s boiler plate.

I'm 40 and my weekends are pretty similar. Wife works Saturdays so on friday I drink a lot of rum and sleep on the settee. When I wake up I potter around for a few hours putting things in the wash and tidying up etc. Saturday nights I'll cook for my wife and son and daughter (if she's home) and we'll do whatever my wife wants until she gets too tired. After she's gone to bed, I'll drink more and go to bed before 2 (if it's after 2 I have to sleep downstairs). Sunday mornings are snogs and cuddles, then I'll go downstairs and make breakfast and coffee. After that... it's just.... we'll do the first thing that someone suggests. If no-one has anything, my wife and I go to the living room and we'll either play xbox together or she'll play on her switch and I'll play xbox.

Depends on the time of year. During Winter/Autumn I play Hockey and not locally , so those weekends the Saturday involves travelling, playing the game, the post game and then usually popping to see my Grandfather/Parents/Sister etc depending on who I haven't seen recently. During the Summer/Spring I end up doing tabletop gaming etc and trips out with friends. Have 3 events in the 6 weeks plus one meet up. Any free days I do have I usually will have a chill day with a bit of gardening. Sundays then involve housework etc, usually a bit of meal prep plus a bit more pottering around the house. I used to volunteer for the local Archaelogy Society but would no way have time for that now.

Got into mountain biking and now my weekends are filled with going to different bike parks and being outside. Also recently got a campervan and it’s just the best thing being able to go wherever you want and camp up have a fire after a big riding day and chill with a bbq and a deserved pint. Also it’s not as expensive as some people think. Just don’t do much for 2 months to save for a bike and you’ll be fine.

With the summer ahead, it’s a great time to find something new to do. If you are/were sporty try joining a running or cycling club - you can do both on your own and choose how much contact you want with the other club members. Or volunteer at a youth sports club if you used to play football etc… If not sporty start walking, exercising at this time of year is a must. There’s loads of interesting places/walks whenever you live. Go look around you. The main thing is to get out of the house during the day and do whatever needs done at home later in the evening.

Buy a games console and get into gaming (there are so many diverse games out there, you’ll be sure to find something that absorbs you) Read - getting an e-reader was a game changer for me in terms of getting back into reading. Check out some reading challenges / lists to encourage you into reading books you wouldn’t normally consider Go walking / hiking Get a new recipe book and try a new recipe every Saturday night - I like to put on cheesy traditional music from that country as I cook Do up the garden (if you have one/are able to) Go to the cinema, or do an at-home film night with homemade popcorn. I have a ‘top 100 movies’ poster I’m getting through which solves the ‘I don’t know what to watch’ question Get a nice coffee machine and make a real event of taking the time to enjoy a fancy coffee on a weekend morning

Other than that, I might do some gardening, paint watercolours, practice the piano, hang out with friends, get some chores done.

Growing vegetables from seed can be quite rewarding and we are still just about in sowing season for some vegetables (I’m far from an expert). I’ve taken up cycling recently and am addicted to the Strava app, which is good for many reasons. Magnetic fishing sounds intriguing but I haven’t tried it yet. Lastly I’m a very nostalgic and a very visual person so projects associated with photos I’ve taken in the past often can get me hooked for hours.

I used to hike a lot but that’s a lot more popular now and not as quiet so that less and less. Went to the beach today there were off lead dogs and people everywhere so again probably not 😂 I have got an allotment though and I love it. Highly recommend.

I'm nearly 41, so not that much older than you. My day has consisted of heading to the supermarket with my 5 year old in tow. Back home and take 10year old to her performing arts class. Pick her up again an hour later, chuck pizzas in the oven. Idly pass a couple of hours, then got restless and took the kids off to follow an adventure lab cache trail, based in the cemetery behind our house. From there we went to a play park. Back home, sorted out dinner for the girls, fed the dog and started making dinner for husband and me. After we'd eaten, put 5 year old to bed then took the dog for a walk (just over 4.6km, not a bad distance). Now back home and about to grab a cider & watch a bit of eurovision before sending the 10 year old to bed.

I go out into town. There’s always an artisan / craft market to browse. I got a ‘blind book date’ today. I love going to Tkmaxx and see what wild stuff they have lol, genuinely my favourite playground. I go to the library to switch out my books, they hold events there too quite often. Chill with my cats and read the books I picked up. Game a little. Generally relax and try to destress. I’m not big into watching shows or films but sometimes I might make popcorn and watch something. Nap sometimes; always have some sleep to catch on. Do creative stuff like painting or scrapbooking.

I have a 5 year old so that keeps me pretty busy. On day 97 now and my energy to declutter my flat is great. I’ve made it a mission everytime I bring home a big bag for life, I have to fill it with stuff I no longer need. I’ve also started redecorating which keeps me busy. Also, just actual relaxing is nice

Usually have a few beers at the weekend, mostly on Saturday night. Some.weekends I'm out and about with friends, most I'm catching up with things I've not got around to such as gardening.

Now move the “l” down the alphabet a couple of letters and you’ve got yourself another free treat. Seriously though, do you have any people you could start playing a sport or something with? Snooker, Squash, Paddle (hear it’s all the rage).

We like to go hiking or do some type of exploring. Going for an adventure with a walking group or a friend is an epic, wholesome, good time. The added bonus you keep fit and it's really good mindfulness. We often go for some food somewhere in a country pub after.
