Well, on Friday evening, I’m going to meet some friends, because there’s a birthday, and so I think there’s going to be a barbecue party. On Saturday morning, I’d like to do some shopping if possible, and I might have my hair cut, I think it’s necessary, and erm, in the evening, I might rent a video. All parts of the Godfather trilogy. On Sunday, erm, I’d like to go to the sea, perhaps to Brighton, just for the day.

Well, this weekend I’m going to invite some friends round for lunch on Saturday, so I’m going to do some shopping first, and then Saturday evening, I’d like to just stay in and do nothing, really. And then on Sunday, I might go swimming with my son, if I can get up early enough, and after that, er, I’d like to go to the park, maybe have some lunch, and Sunday evening, I, I, I might meet some friends.
