What do you usually do on weekends?
To be honest, my weekends are more or less the same. I tend to sleep in on Saturday and have a nice relaxing breakfast with my girlfriend. After that, I’ll usually do some exercise. Sometimes I’ll go for a run, but most of the time I’ll go indoor rock climbing. Then on Sunday, I’ll often meet up with friends and family. I’ve got a 2-year-old niece, so I normally try to spend some time with her at the weekend.
