The weekend
What do you like to do on the weekend? I feel that I usually have ambitious plans before the weekend and find that as the weekend speeds on my plans become more realistic. Take today, the plan was to get up early, go for a walk, go the farmer's market, all before 9am. In reality, I did neither of those things as the weather was poor. I did go to the supermarket which seemed to be a massive task, so tiring and difficult that I needed a nap when I got back!
Serena commented on one of my earlier blogs about the difficulty of managing everything, particularly as a working mum with young children. I remember feeling like that especially when my children were younger and more dependent. Serena you could say that are struggling to juggle your responsibilitiesor to juggle competing demands. I guess that your weekend is very full too. Sometimes I think that my laziness now is a result of the tiredness of those years. Now I take all opportunities to relax and rest, quite seriously. Perhaps I'm overcompensating!
Chittisa how have your weekends changed since you started job hunting? Are they the same or different?
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi Tricia. Like you, I tend to have ambitious plans for my weekend and end up obeying my body clock which sometimes doesn't seem to be in the mood of demanding activities. So I give up to its capricious of lying down and just resting. However, when my body is more active, I go for brisk walks in the Park, I also love cooking and trying out different dishes. I subcribe a magazine that brings recipes from all over the world, traditional ones which are superb.Reading is also my cup of tea and watching good films.The good news is that tomorrow is holiday and that means a long weekend for me to indulge myself in my cooking, reading and idleness.
