If I'd had nothing planned I'd have been happy - weekends are like that for me - I like them no matter what I'm doing...well, except doing my job because working on the weekend sucks. Anyway, this weekend I didn't have nothing planned, I had *something* planned and have enjoyed doing it. 

# Friday night work function

Working hard needs a counterbalance and *playing hard* fits that requirement. The company I work with have a focus on both and Friday night was one of the occasions where the *playing hard* element was deployed because we all (most of us) went to throw some axes. That's right y'all, fucken axe throwing. 

We went to a place called ***<a href="https://www.maniax.com.au/">Maniax</a>*** where one engages in the legit artform that is *axe throwing*, a place where one can express their sensitive side, get in touch with one's inner feelings and emotions...well, none of that really...it's a place where one gets to hurl fucken axes, eat pizza, drink legit adult beverages (after all the axe throwing is over) and socialise with one's friends and, in my case, colleagues. 

I'm not going to explain much about it, you can follow the link above if you like, although I will say that it was a lot of fun...and that I ended the night in second position after a hard-fought tournament against my colleagues of which there were thirty two. It came down to one single and final throw and unfortunately mine was about six inches away from beating out my colleague; I was ok with it (not really, I like to win) and the fun factor outweighed the glory that comes through winning...(not really, I like to win). Seriously though, it was a lot of fucken fun. 

# Saturday getting over the work function

I woke up Saturday morning with the intention of getting onto my rowing machine and rowing a few kilometres...but my shoulders and back felt somewhat sore from all that axe throwing...I threw around one hundred times and a lot of force goes into it. Anyway, no rowing machine...but a really cool bacon and egg breakfast, a little housework, couch time to watch a movie called *The Light Between Oceans,* one of my favourite movies and then...just a little bit of work in the afternoon. I know, fucken work!

I made dinner on Saturday night, a legit meal of chicken schnitzel and roast vegetables which was followed by some cheesecake, low sugar of course. 

The evening was episodes of *House of Cards* season five and yep...coffee and snacks. 

# Sunday markets

I was up early Sunday (today) and rowed almost five kilometres of interval rowing, fast, slower, fast, slower, slower because I was fucken tired, fast again and slower, then fast...then stop. 

A shower happened, yoghurt and low-carb granola for breakfast then I was out the door to the farmers market with my girl for some browsing and shopping and to meet a couple friends for a social gathering at the market. We hung around until lunch time and then I came home with my stuff, fresh produce and lavender scones (legit) and other yummy stuff, and spent the afternoon writing, reading and <sub><sup>having a snooze...Shh, tell no one.</sub></sup>

# Sunday night (soonish) 

We will make dinner together tonight using some of the stuff we bought at the farmers market, a nice simple meal of cold cuts, cheese, olives, carrot and celery sticks, humus dip and stuff like that...sort of like an antipasto/grazing platter thing. Quite legit indeed. More episodes of *House of Cards* will follow and later bed then...none of your business.

That was my weekend in a nutshell, a pretty good one I think, and i feel content rolling into Monday that I spent the time well.

What have you been doing this weekend? Feel free to comment below and tell me if you'd like and if you don't want to then I guess it's best you do not.
