😂With the social media experts saying some of my posts should be personal, here are my weekend plans. 🍻

😎 I'll be lounging in a hammock with "The Lighter Side Of Cruising by Steve Barker" – essentially a manual for extreme laziness. I’ll sip a few beers while my garden transforms into a jungle even Tarzan would avoid. Neighbours might think I’ve gone feral. If you need me, I’ll be perfecting the art of doing nothing and calling it ‘self-care’. Cheers to an epic weekend of non-adventures! 🌴📚🍻
