Hello! Just wanted to get this community going since I enjoyed it on reddit. I want to hear from you guys, what you up to this weekend?
Nothing special. Cutting grass, cooking some marmelade with our cherries, sitting in the sun and read some technical books. All in all, chilling and enjoying free time. What about you?
Woah, cherry season already, I’m gonna need to get some. What tech books are you reading?
Cool, sounds chill. Yesterday I went to a dragon ball live orchestra and today I went on an afternoon boat cruise with family
That sounds also quite fun. Boat cruise. I live it but my wife is not so into water. Rather sitting on the beach and seeing it so I have to do those things alone. ;)
Hello! Nothing special. I ran some errands, cast my vote at one of the advanced vote locations, and watched some shows on TV.
I got out and got my vote in. Bit of a long walk to the polling station but a nice day for it. Rest of my time was wasted playing video games and being unproductive as humanly possible.
Biked from High Park to Union Station with a friend. Today, attended the Jays game, what an exhilarating match it was.
Visited the St Lawrence Farmers Market on Saturday for some fresh veggies and farm eggs. And then biked to high park today!
Sounds fun, yesterday I went the opposite direction by bicycle!
I’ve been meaning to try it. I loved the market when i lived out in Kitchener. But I also don’t do so well in crowds.
Is there like a go time to go when it won’t be crazy busy?
My partner is the same and finds it a bit overwhelming at times. I can’t speak for earlier but I think there’s definitely at 10-1pm timing that seems busier, especially inside. If you can make it before it might be better (I’ve never made it that early), or later in the afternoon but you miss a lot of the good produce.
That about the same as Kitchener waa then. I’d have to get myself up nice and early to get the good breads and veggies. But I usually award myself with a coffee on a patio somewhere.
I’ll try to get out soon.
The highlight of the weekend was having a Timmies Iced Capp for the first time in 5 years. Looking forward to another one in 5 years lol
Boring weekend other than that. Being a couch potato is good sometimes, helps avoid the bad quality air out there…
Mostly just relaxing over the weekend. Got street fighter 6 so been playing that a bit and did some cooking (Matar Paneer but with tofu in place of paneer)
Local farmers market, biking, espresso at a cafe and finally fixing my bike. Oh also I did 4 episodes of Silo!
My dad is away so I helped my elderly mother get her grocery shopping done. The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. Meal planning, grocery shopping, dog walking, playing Civ.
Last weekend I hit St Lawrence Market with my girlfriend, got our favourite picnic foods, then walked over to the ferry and had a picnic on the island!
My wife’s friend is visiting from out of town, so we walked around downtown and showed her all the sights. It’s nice to have friends over once in a while.
Tried out my friends foldable, electric bike on the trails. It’s a game changer, but I like the way I have to push myself physically on my regular bike.
I’ve tried the e-bike bixis and I love riding them, but I agree there is a lot of extra exercise you’re missing out on with them. Interestingly I found it good for staying in a lower heart rate zone where you may see some better training benefits.
