The usual chores (laundry, food shopping, some cleaning), reading, maybe watch a movie, go for walks both days. No special plans which =s how I like it.
Good call! What movie are you gonna watch?
I'm thinking The Wild Robot!
Sounds good hope you have a good one
Got paid, picking up a Smith & Wesson model 1854 - .44 rem magnum. This will be my second rifle purchase as I can no longer legally use my 22lr Kriss Vector, pretty hyped for this S&W.
Update:
If I lived in America I'd 100% get a gun, provided I could learn to shoot properly. I went shooting a few years ago and fucking loved it !

Check with your local laws! I’m Canadian and have a firearms license, our government reclassified roughly 140 families of firearms as prohibited hence why I can no longer use my Kriss Vector.
My coworkers took me to the range one day and I immediately went and got my license afterwards by completing the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, it’s such a fun hobby!
I'm uk I thought about it, the tldr is it's a PITA and there's not many shooting clubs I can get to.
Wow, UK laws in regard to acquiring your license are more wild than ours! I’m shocked to see you cannot own a Shotgun with a barrel shorter than 24 inches and, by the looks of it all rifles must be chambered in .22 Lr.
Not too sure about GB firearm related crime but hopefully one day regulations ease up on licensed owners over there!
Could be I doubt it though it's just not part of our culture. Funnily enough I was anti gun but then my NRA American friend explained away the myths and now I see it totally differently!
Same thing we do every weekend, decorating! This weekend its first floor corridor
You’re decorating every weekend?? Sounds like fun, like real life Animal Crossing.
Pretty much so, doing whole works, fixing wall holes (waiting for them to fully dry to paint takes a week and a month to fully cure, late 1890s house), ceiling, skirting fireplace surround, walls with feature walls. Inside under stairs storage, and that's now done for 2 rooms so far with one more room and a corridor to go...
As i am just amateur and its for my own place, I do like to take my time and get it as good as I can. I am real bad at edging around coven which saddens me, but can only get better with practice.
That's so cool, your house sounds like a work-of-art in progress and is super rewarding work, I bet. Keep it up!
Taking my daughter to a regional comic-con. I'm not sure what we'll do there, but it should be a good time.
Ooooh nice! What are you most looking forward to?
Well I think she wants to get into cosplay at some point so will probably check that out. I mostly go for roleplaying stuff and she's mostly into anime stuff so we'll probably just enjoy wandering and maybe sit in for a panel. Probably buy some art.
She quickly gets overwhelmed in crowds so it may not last long but it'll just be good to hang out with her for a while.
Ooooh that'll be great a proper day out with your little girl and a lovely memory you'll always share! I love seeing good parents ❤️
We have family visiting, so I’m the designated driver to take them around the city over the weekend. I suck as a tour guide since I don’t go out much and haven’t gone to a lot of places in the city myself.
It's the end of a fortnight's holiday for me, so I'm driving home tomorrow, followed by pizza and undemanding tv comedy when I get home to my wife. I have missed her a lot.
On Sunday there are some post-holiday logistics and chores to sort out, but we'll have lunch out and probably play Gloom in the evening: a card game that one of the friends with whom I am on holiday introduced me to. I ordered a set myself after the first game.
Ordering parts for my NAS. Need the hard drives and pico PSU. Then studying for the Sec+ because I don’t have an internship.

Gotta clean up, adulting has been tough lately 😮💨 It’s gonna be a rainy one here anyway!
Golf tournament, gala, more golf.
My weekends aren't normally this fancy. I don't really want to go to the gala but it's to support my wife and a really good cause, and they'll have an open bar, so I got that going for me I guess.
I'm excited for the golf tournament, I normally play in one about once a month but they'll be my first since January. My game is coming together, so I expect to play relatively well. Sunday's round will be a money game, so maybe I'll come home with a little extra cash too.
I'm going to an lgbt dropin tomorrow, I've never been before so I'm hoping it's good! If it's not I never have to go again
