Just thought i would start a little thread of inspiration for all to share.

We all watch the weekends come and go and what do we really do with it!

Well I am off to my trailer this weekend. Looks like the weather is with us here in Ontario. Light the campfire, roast a few marshmellows(now i have been shown how to actually do that properly). A few beers and soak up the sun. Steaks on the a BBQ.
Oh yes! and fight off the blasted mossies!

check out a few yard sales. I love a bargain!

Sounds Perfect, only a couple more weeks to wait, i can smell those steaks already...
I am still having english weekends, garden centres and tescos yuk

My weekend will involve power-washing and re-treating the deck (I don't know what possessed the previous owners - the thing is huge), sundry gardening, trying to fix the BBQ and, hopefully, making a start on the built-in closet my missus informs me we need in the bedroom. I'd like to go cycling in Gatineau Park but my bike is out of action.

Well Thursday its

So I appear to be driving miles and miles this weekend. Have to get the BBQ out at home and fire up a few steaks

PS haven't figured out when to fit in the re_seeding of the front lawn, the fixing of the Fence or the physio for the dog yet.

That sounds like the life of a typical Canadian parent! I pity you if your kids are hockey players too.

Rain is predicted for the weekend here in Ontario

I think we may have spoken to each other before about the soccer.

My son is now in a REP team in pickering. he has a game on sunday.always seems to be at practice. busy busy busy!

I am so glad as he lives for soccer and it keeps him busy.

At the moment It’s get out in the good weather having spend to long inside this winter and with the decorating being held back for any bad weather..

Planned in for the best weather is a bit of camping and when weather conditions are perfect a bit of paragliding…

With as much hiking fitted in as possible

Sure we did, weren't you considering changing jobs going back awhile ago?

Still considering the change of job. As soon as i get my open works visa. Poor paid job with no real future at the moment. Need to spread my wings.

I am more settled in canada now though. I know i will make it here i just need to remain positive and look towards a brighter future.

No schedule but could include

1) Work around the house (Yardwork, painting etc.)

2) Picnic with portable barbeque

3) Game of golf

4) Dinner and a movie

5) Meet up with friends either at their place or ours

6) Go for a drive for scenery or events such as antique sales

7) Whatever else SWMBO comes up with.

good for you babyblue and glad to hear your son is enjoying his soccer.

Sorry new to Canada,

The last weekend I jumped in the car and drove to Banff. Went for a walk with my wife and our dog. Once I work out how I will post the photos. I really don't need to say anything more!

Antique sales!!!!, how old are the antiques over there...lol

If Antiques roadshow from the UK can do 2 programmes in the last 6 months from...

1) Ottawa
2) Toronto...

you can bet your life there is antiques. An antique is only 100 years old. Canada was first settled I think at least 400 years ago by Europeans...probably longer. and then you have first nation antiques that go back 1,000's of years.
