Fridays
It’s Friday! I’m glad to finish work at my bank (I create logos and ads with computer graphics).
I get on a tram and head for home . . . but the bad thing about Friday afternoons is the massive traffic. Everyone else is leaving work at the same time.
At Home
When I get home, I change clothes. Then I sit and relax on my armchair.
I turn on the TV, and watch a comedy. I drink a cup of hot tea.
Later I order a home-delivery pizza and eat it as I watch an action-adventure movie.
Exploring
On Saturdays, my girlfriend Sherry and I frequently go to a shopping mall or department store and shop around.
For lunch or dinner, we might dine at an Italian, Indian, Chinese or other ethnic restaurant.
Culture
And about three times a month, we go to a music concert, art exhibition, or circus.
The Usual
On Sunday mornings, I often go for a walk with Sherry in a park.
Then we usually ride our bicycles around town in the afternoon.
Dinner
In the evening I cook and have supper; tonight it’s beef stew.
After dinner, I read a book or paint a picture. I like to paint nature scenes.
Then I go to bed at about 10:00 pm.
I don’t look forward to Monday morning.
