Daniel, hi! I've settled on two photos for the "Ideal weekend" project, and I reckon they'll spark a good discussion. In the first one, a girl with red hair is relaxing on the sofa in her headphones, with her Siamese cat curled up right beside her. In the second, three girls are cycling down a shady country road outside town. Basically, one photo is a calm activity you can do right at home, while the other is a much more active outing with friends, so between them they cover two completely different sides of a perfect weekend. On the plus side, listening to music at home takes zero effort and is a brilliant way to unwind after a busy week. Cycling with friends, on the other hand, is brilliant exercise and just good fun. There are downsides too, though — staying in with music all weekend is pretty passive and doesn't really recharge you the way being active does. Cycling isn't perfect either: it can be exhausting, and there's always a chance of taking a tumble. If I had to pick, I'd go with cycling without a second thought. Staying active with your mates just beats a quiet afternoon on the sofa, in my opinion. Plus, you get to explore somewhere new every time. Anyway, that's my two cents on it. Give me a shout when you've decided. Bye, Daniel!
