Wake up late, light yoga workout, a long walk, retreat into my little room, with a pot of Earl Grey, sandwich on freshly baked bread, then break out the board and pieces and happy hours spent analyzing active game positions to the point of silliness. Afterwards The Woodpecker Method with tactics study, all the while listening to my favorite background music (Below) Off to bed in the late evening with happy thoughts in my head. The yardwork can wait until tomorrow!

So - What's your perfect Saturday?

5k run followed by light weights and 5 mins on the punchbag then warm down.
Coffee and fruit for breakfast.
Catch up on the news.
Mow the lawn, clip a rose for beloved and nip down to the recycling centre.
Drop into the help-the-aged coffee morning for a chat with the locals, listen to a few fruity jokes and set the country to right.
Work for 2 hours updating electoral campaign website and make a few phone calls.
Watch the first 2 Euros group of 16 games for rest of the day.
Early to bed with a book.

Daily early rise 5:30 (dogs wanting out), my once a day cup of coffee, read the newspaper, do the crossword and word jumble, make moves here and look through/participate in some forums, do some “honey do list” chores, head over to the legion for a couple of cold ones and some banter, either out for diner or home for same, then maybe read a book or watch something on TV…oh and sometimes a nightcap before we “hit the sack”.

I suspected as much, though the rose bit I thought was too. You really are, deep down, a softy.😉😁

This Saturday: totally 15,300 steps on city streets, apartment viewing for my granddaughter which is always nice, coffee break with a friend and sightseeing of places that have had a total make-over. A glass of wine right now, dinner a little later. A good day.

LOL....Doesn't sound like a lot of time for chess moves or talking in the forums. 😛

You could have been on the Biden Trump Debate, you tell more lies than the TRUMPSTER does!!! 🙂

I'm not a romantic, but it seems a nice thing to do.
