Back In The Late 1980s & Early 1990s

How I Used to Spend My Weekends as a Kid. Share a nostalgic look at how you spent your weekends growing up, whether it was with family, friends, or on your own adventures.

I like to go in time in my mind on the dull afternoons and think about the years gone by. Boy some of those years especially during my childhood were so good and I think I really had it good. I think the 80s & 90s, even if we didn’t have the technology of today, were a much better time period. We had great cartoons, great movies and great music. If you were a football fan during those years you had great players and rival teams. If you were a tennis fan like myself, you had some great players to watch.

I read a lot of books and we would get movies from one of the two video lending libraries that my family had membership at. At those ages usually on Friday evening my sister and I would go with our dad to the city from the little suburban place that we lived in and sometimes mum joined us too. My sister and I would plan to get atleast 2 to 3 good movies to watch (mostly English) and then if we could we would go and check out a book store or something like that. Post that we would get ice cream or dinner and go back home.

Saturdays and Sundays morning would be very lazy and I’d try to complete any homework that I had to do and then post lunch we would pop in one of the movies. My sister and I would watch that and then go to our rooms where we either listened to music or I read a book. Then after dinner we might watch another movie and sis and I would discuss it until we felt asleep. Sunday it would be more of the same but I would listen to more music on Sundays and probably check for any sports events I could watch.

This is ofcourse on weekends that we didn’t have relatives visiting us. And once in a while I would also get together with my friends from school and we’d hang out for a few hours. Good times!

Personal Chef Or Housekeeper Or Personal Trainer

If you had to choose between having a personal chef, a housekeeper, or a personal trainer, which would you pick?

So we have a maid/housekeeper who comes in 6 days a week and she cleans the rooms and cooks some of the food we have. However she is very limited in what she can cook and some of the cooking leaves something to be desired. If I could keep her for the cleaning and folding clothes I would like to get a personal chef.

When I say that, it’s mainly for my mother and father and thirdly for myself. I would like to see my mum just relax and not worry about the food preparation and or cleaning of the food. Also making us some different dishes and tastes so we can enjoy variation in our meals. We tend to eat very similar dishes week in week out and I am usually the more culinarily adventurous while my parents tend to be more safe and familiar choices when it comes to food.

So yeah I would prefer to have a personal chef. Also when I have family come to visit me, I can ask for some nice dishes to be prepared and ready to be served when they come in for either lunch or dinner.
