Any plans for the weekend?

It's always good to find your niche.

I didn't get to spend last weekend relaxing on my own (since I had the kids with me unexpectedly), so now I'm planning that this weekend! First up, movies!

The car needs a wash this morning then it's clean out the fruit cage, pruning etc.

I have a house tidy up plan for sunday.

We don't tend to go out much on weekends, everywhere is so busy. Midweek is so much easier for most everything.

Can we swap places? I'd LOVE to be good with numbers. You're one lucky person.

Clean the garage. It sounds like a lot of fun...

My oldest brother virtually lived in the loft. There was a small area curtained off, for him. It had his desk and a table. He was a natural swot, so it suited him just fine. Of course the doctorate he got in chemistry, and subsequent large pay packets, showed that it was not time wasted....

We have a dinner tomorrow night for a French friend who just married his girlfriend of 7 years last month. She moved to here from China a month ago and does not speak a word of English. I have to get my phone translation app ready.

Yes. It can involve several stages as I have a greenhouse so most of them finally grow there but temperatures are Ok for tomatoes outside here later in the year. Timing can get critical towards the end of winter though as, particularly if I start too many, they can get too big for the house. I grow other things apart from tomatoes. I will write about them in the gardening thread as time moves on.

I've had the usual daily routine: shower/laundry/computer.

I shall be going to town with my sister today: just wandering around and seeing what we find. Plus, it is sunny weather, so there's no issue of rain.

Sunday my dad is cooking the dinner: but I shall potter about in the kitchen with him.

playing video games the rest of the day. got my chores done and i work sunday and monday.

Is what I am doing now.

I haven't packed much yet this weekend as expected, but I'm taking pictures before I remove artwork from the walls and then we can decide whether to replicate after the reno or change things up. Took down some of the posters before supper, and I have a plan for some of the "wall clings" in the dining room - clean the glass on a large framed painting, and put the clings on there for now!

I think tomorrow I'll enjoy listening to videos and music while taking more things down and sorting through the top shelves of the kitchen cabinets. I know I definitely have too many mugs, but deciding to say goodbye to some is hard for me! I even have souvenir mugs I don't actually use for tea - like a Star Trek one. Perhaps taking photos could give me a souvenir that takes up less space?

We have lots too. I think that there is a Star Trek one amongst the collection but it was my stepson's. I do have a Wallace and Grommit mug still in it's packaging.
