Just Wondering

What are your plans for the weekend?

Do you enjoy shopping over bank holidays?

What do you do on rainy days?

Writing tomorrow afternoon, followed by Strummerfest! Which is happening down the street from me; I am so excite.

Depends on what I'm shopping for.

I usually lie curled up on my couch, moaning because rain gives me migraines, assuming that I'm not at work suffering through it.

Probably cleaning and chores, like most weekends. But watching various videos, Netflix shows, and the like, with my wife, is also a possibility and quite enlivens the possibilities.

I hate shopping always, holiday or not. And given that I don't work a regular schedule, I can shop whenever I want, so, by preference, I shop when other people don't.

I don't have any particular plans for rainy days, but I enjoy them.

Tomorrow we're probably going hiking and Geocaching, since there's a challenge going on this weekend to find a particular type of Geocache. Plus, hiking is fun! If we get really ambitious, we might try finding a place to go fishing for the first time since we moved to this state 20+ years ago. There's a massive problem with the fish licensing database and they've had to shut it down and so have declared this weekend to be a free fishing weekend (still have to obey the rules, but don't need a license).

On Sunday, we're going to be doing our very first Half-Marathon and I'm VERY nervous about it (and a bit excited, too). The most we've ever done is a 12k, so this will be nearly twice as long. Hoping everything goes well with it!

For holiday weekends here, I generally avoid shopping. It's often a bit too much of a madhouse with sales.

Around here, on rainy days, I do pretty much what I would on a sunny day, except mow the lawn. :-) One thing about living in the Seattle area... if you don't do stuff in the rain? You never get to do anything.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Won't know until I wake up tomorrow. ;)

Do you enjoy shopping over bank holidays?

Sure.

What do you do on rainy days?

I don't water the garden. Yay.

Watering the garden on a rainy day would be a ware of time lol!

Tomorrow is the local, very small, fandom con. I will dress up in silly clothes, put on a wig, and talk to like minded people about fantasy and steampunk and all. Sunday we may make our annual pilgrimage to the lake, which is only a couple of miles away but we never get to. That, and do chores.

I don't see it as any different from shopping other days...

Read. Write. Spend too much time on the computer. Do chores. Hopefully sew or make jewelry.

Head cold means the weekend will be spent at home.

I used to when WT was in school, the sales were a good time for clothes, supplies, etc. Now I usually avoid them unless we need something specific.

Being disabled a rain day means the same as most sunny days although on rainy days I don't feel as guilty. :)
I read or watch TV, snuggle in the bed w. the cats, work puzzles.

Hopefully writing. Some stuff getting done for 'showing we are working, how often and for how much' but that's just for final records. Mostly slobbing about.

NO.

Read, sleep (if I can), watch stuffs with the kiddos, play video games...well, anything other than thinking about outside, lol!!

*HUGS*

Sadly I will be working this weekend. :(
But I have 6 days off starting Tuesday. YAY.........

We don't have Bank Holidays.
I don't know if I really ever Enjoy shopping. I kind of tend to think of it as a necessary evil. lol..........

Probaby just watch tv unless the cable goes out. :p
Or if I am being good, maybe some reading. Better yet, sleeping. :)
Hugs, Jon

Nothing.

Depends on how busy it is. I'm not a fan of crowds.

Read, watch tv, play games, internet things, rain walks.

Today I had lots of stuff to do, some left over from yesterday. I did make sure to go outside and enjoy the sun for a bit. I got a much-needed nanny nap in, too, but not enough. Tomorrow I am going with Old Flame to have a cup of tea and a chat with NZ Man, I'm hoping on the deck in the sun.

It isn't a bank holiday here, just an ordinary weekend. There is a music festival on, which I would go to if I had the energy and money and health to go to. But I have my memories and did enjoy a live set with Alice Keith on Friday night on the radio from the Blues Fast earlier this year. Great sound quality. She was interviewing Graham Nash and he played three songs. Then she interviewed and played other artists. Yes, very enjoyable and better than being there in a lot of ways - not cold, not tired and not outside a venue wishing I could get in but it being too crowded.

I usually don't enjoy shopping because of the financial pressure ie having to watch every penny - and then some! Also, once you get kids, shopping becomes an unenjoyable event because they always want things (and aren't things always displayed so they want them?) and sometimes downright traumatic when one of them throws a tantrum. So, that's pretty much put me off shopping. But occasionally I enjoy a good shop and do a lot of browsing and bring some treasures home.

Baking, knitting, sewing, writing letters, getting on the net. Heck, one can even do housework on rainy days. It always feels good to clean up a room. But the best thing is to do some drawing and/or painting, and amazingly the paint even dries except oil paints. Put the pot plants out in the rain - they love it! - and bring them back in later. I love listening to the sound of the rain on the roof while do these things. I usually commiserate with the chooks (and cat when I had one) and give them some extra treats - them and the wild birds who are often hungry on such days if their blossoms get washed out etc. I also enjoy going out on rainy days, especially the misty days we get here. We think nothing of standing around in the rain talking to each other as we don't get more than slightly wet and it's a warm climate. When younger I used to love hopping/jumping over the puddles (this until a year or so ago) and if you hang your clothes up we you get home they soon dry out. Heck, I've even watched a movie (Forest Gump) in steaming wet clothes after being at a son's soccer match because the family we stopped off at for some reason wanted to watch it! By the time it was finished I was more or less dry and I didn't catch cold or anything :)

The usual Saturday chores, shopping and being with The Boy.

We don't have bank holidays here, but shopping on a holiday is not a thing for me.

And we don't have many rainy days either. If it's during the week, I work. If it's at night or on the weekend, we'll build a fire and relax in front of it, reading and just talking.

1) No plans, just hanging, maybe some gardening.

2) Not really. I'm not a big fan of shopping, I get bored easily.

3) Watch TV, read, draw, play with the dog, listen to the radio, sleep.

I have four days off so rest, read, garden and, on Tuesday, try to trap and get to the vet for neutering then bring back and release at least one feral kitten. May go for a walk tomorrow otherwise pottering round the garden and house.

I hate shopping, did the grocery shopping after work yesterday and hope not to have to set foot in another shop till at least Tuesday.

Depends on the type of rain, I like walking and gardening in some kinds of rain, otherwise I'll curlup and read
