ACTIVITIES FOR YOU

WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEKEND?

I had a great weekend last weekend. On Friday I went to a bar with my

friends. I ate a delicious hamburger and french fries. I entered a pool
tournament and I played really well. I won the tournament and won 15
euro. I was very happy. I met new people from Germany and they
showed me a popular drink in Germany that is similar to a Bloody Mary.
On Saturday I was a bit tired. I stayed in bed until 11 o’clock in the
morning and then I had a nice brunch. I ate toast with tomatoes and
mushrooms and I drank coffee. I went out and walked around the town
where I live with my girlfriend. We went to the supermarket and bought
a lot of vegetables. My bags were heavy and we walked home up the
hill. My girlfriend made Lasagna for dinner and then we watched a
movie.
On Sunday I woke up late again. I had a very lazy weekend! I had a nice
brunch again (beans on toast this time). We went to a nice hotel and
used their spa facilities. I went swimming but the water in the jacuzzi
was too hot so I didn’t use the jacuzzi. I love reading a book beside the
swimming pool. I spent about 4 hours there. When I arrived home I
called my friend on WhatsApp and we talked for one hour. I had a great
weekend.
