On Fridays I come home from work, have a lie down on the couch and listen to Kermode and Mayo.
On Saturdays I get in the boozer for noon sharp, read the Racing Post, pick out a few winners, have five or six pints and get home at about 4:30pm for Final Score.

Now that the pools are open, swimming. It’s been a little community since it reopened, really nice. I was getting ribbed by some swimmers earlier for being hungover, I was so out of breath and one lady shouted “that’ll teach you!”. It’s really nice to have that tbh
Before all this, I’d generally pop to the pub on Tuesday for a few pints after work. Helped break up the week and it was generally just the regulars there, no nobheads, so it was nice to have a relaxing couple of pints and a chat with people.
Learned how to do cryptic crosswords during lockdown (literally my only achievement) and now getting the paper on a Sunday, and setting an hour or two aside to start it (maybe in the pub since they’ve opened) is my favourite bit of the week.
Going for a swim in the reservoir every Saturday morning.
Friday night pizza
Playing hockey on a Saturday, when the season is on
My girlfriend has Wednesdays off and although I’m working during the day, it’s nice to have her pottering around the house when I’m home, and to see her in the evenings for dinner, as she doesn’t get back until 10pm most days.
I created Sunday pancakes as a routine a few months ago. We’ve stuck to it so well that when I made them on Saturday once (had plans on the Sunday) my flatmate was totally thrown and was a day off for the whole following week
Saturday mornings when I’ve got nothing else planned, I like to go to the bakers for some nice bread, get the paper, pop into the bookies to put an acca on in the football season, then go home, make some breakfast and a big pot of tea then read the paper while drinking multiple mugs of tea and listening to music.
