Welcoming the weekend

in #life5 years ago

I have arrived triumphantly and with great ceremony at my weekend! And there has been much rejoicing. Well, not that much I guess. It's hot here so instead of rejoicing I had me an ice cream from the freezer and played with my kids a little...My fur babies, Cleo and Merlin. (My cats).

So, this weekend is a bit of a mixed bag of activities beginning tonight with fish and chip Friday and Netflix. We're watching Vikings currently. Tonight's going to be a little buffer, chill-time, to round out the working week and to build a platform from which we'll launch into the weekend!

Saturday morning

I'm shooting at one of my clubs, just a little club competition that I'll not take too seriously. I've recently put some new LokGrips on my CZ handgun and am still getting used to them so it's really more about familiarising myself with the grips than competing with any real intention of placing well. I'm heading to Geelong, Victoria in February 2019 for the Victorian IPSC State Championships so I'm entering the preparation evolution which is so critical to achieving a good result. So, shooting tomorrow morning is a part of that. Plus I get see some of my bro's and talk shit.

Saturday lunch

Lunch on Saturday's is all about cheeseburgers from my friends cafe. I actually haven't got an image of my cheeseburger because it hasn't happened yet however here's one of my last burgers there accompanied by sweet potato chips and aioli dipping sauce. My favourite is the cheeseburger though which is what I'll have tomorrow. Looking forward to that for sure.

Saturday afternoon

It'll be spent cleaning the gun I shot in the morning, and the associated gear. I also have to clean one of my rifles so I figure I'll just play around in my workshop a little, you know, do manly stuff in the garage accompanied by some tunes.

Saturday night

We're heading over to my mother in-law's house for dinner with her in the evening. She's going through chemotherapy treatment for cancer and has had a fairly bad time of it. We spend a lot of time over there, and have had her living here for a bit, on and off, also. I'm not sure what's on the menu however I'm sure it'll be good and then we'll just hang out.

Sunday morning

I'm making breakfast for us Sunday morning. I'm doing french toast with strawberries and coffee...I'm sure I'll throw in some regular toast as well because if I don't have some toast and Vegemite every morning I just don't seem to kick-start my day!

Sunday lunch

This week we'll be taking some food into my dad's nursing home when we visit him. They always feed him pretty well of course but sometimes we take something in and eat with him, like this week. My dad has dementia and sometimes struggles to remember me, not always though. It makes visiting him a bit hit and miss but hopefully he's on a good day this week.

Sunday afternoon and evening

This week I'm catching up with the rest of my work team for a few games of bowling and then some beers, and probably something to eat afterwards. They're a great bunch of guys and girls and we've opened it up to partners so there's a bunch of us going. I think we're playing a couple of games, the trash talk started earlier this week, and we'll hit a pub afterwards. It's not a work-sanctioned event, just a group of us chilling out and having fun so should be a good afternoon. I'm looking forward to it to be honest, although I'm not great at bowling.

So, in a nutshell that's my weekend. I hope you all have something great planned for the weekend also and that you crush it! because Monday will roll around soon enough. Right now I better get going...Fish and chip Friday is about the start so I should cue up the next episode of Vikings and settle in.

Enjoy your weekends all!

It sounds regimented but it's not really. Some weekends we do everything on the spur of the moment and others we plan out a little. This weekend is a little more planned. Obviously I have left things out as no one needs to know exactly what I'm doing. Except me. :)

No mate we don't need all the details :)

Have fun with your weekend 😊 I had no idea you had cats - how could I miss that?
I'm watching Vikings too 😊. Oh and that burger looks like it could easily kill someone if thrown hard enough :))

Hey you. I've written about my cats before but not much. I don't want to be that person on steemit who only posts about cats. (I love them so much, they're like kids to us so it would be easy to post about them all the time though.

The black one is Merlin who we call merli and the other cutie is Cleo and we call her bubba mainly. They answer to several names as we call them different things. Merlin is a boy and Cleo a girl.

The weekend should be good I think. Just a typical one for us I guess, except for the bowling. We don't do that often, almost never. I love Vikings...Love it!

You keep your eyes off my burger! Oh, and they're too good to throw at people HD, that would be a waste!

Sounds like you have a lot of fun activities planned. Enjoy! Man, that burger looks tasty. I might have to see if I can work one of those into my weekend. :)

It's always a good idea to work a great burger into the weekend man. Just for the record...It was as good as expected :)
