French toast, bacon, maple syrup and creative writing...

The weekend is here, the most pleasing segment of the week to some, certainly me that's for sure. OK, so work isn't too bad and I like my job and the rewards it brings me very much...But the weekend? Well, it's something else again! I tend to get after it on the weekends...What is IT? Life my friend. Life.

I've spent the morning (getting after it) by sleeping in until about 0800 (8am and yes, I'm a lazy bugger huh?) and then needed to go to the local shopping centre to collect my new glasses from the optometrist. I am wearing them now...Struggling a little but I'll get used to them. I also messaged with a friend for a few hours which is great because we have similar interests and thoughts on many things, but also completely opposite as well. It makes for enjoyable chats despite the vast distance between our respective locations.

Right now I'm in my friends café with my computer about to start a new piece for Steemit. The image above was taken just now. I tortured the friend I was chatting with, of course, by sending an image of my breakfast: French toast, crispy bacon, a couple of fried eggs all covered with maple syrup. A good healthy Saturday-morning breakfast. There was some food-envy and I belive the words they used were, "I hate you". I get it, I'd hate me too...(My friend doesn't really hate me of course..., Well I hope not.)

I'm going to try and write something a little different today. I've been thinking about writing more creatively so I am going to attempt writing a battle scene; Not one of modern warfare, but something from ye olde days when men were men and hacked away at each other with swords and differences were solved at close quarters with blade, spear, morningstar, battle axe and arrows...And without CNN to (mis)report every little action.

I'll write the blog here in the café. I get distracted of course but I like writing in public as it allows me to get distracted and if so then I obviously need a break. A little people watching and some stranger-gazing (as my friend would put it) and I'm back on point writing again. If I am engrossed in my work then I don't look up, hear the bustle of the other patrons or anything else. I just write. It's the best of both worlds really. Besides, I'm planning to have some cheesy-stuffed (crumbed) jalapenos for lunch and don't know how to make them for myself [Read: Too lazy to do so] so what better place to be huh?

Later this evening I have a black-tie formal event to attend. It's an industry thing and I happened to have made the finals for a particular category so I have no choice but to attend despite not wanting to. Sunday will be spent relaxing, a drive in the country maybe, and visiting my dad in his nursing facility. He suffers from dementia so it's never really pleasant.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend planned and that you get the most out of it. Now, I have to write some stuff.
