G’day guys! Join Dad and me for a relaxed yarn about what actually makes a great weekend. We chat about everything from "Poet’s Day" and coffee van banter to how our routines shift from chaotic youth road trips to retired life where every day feels like a Sunday. Along the way, we share our favourite weekend rituals, confess how a simple lawn-mowing chore can hijack an entire Saturday, and laugh about getting stuck in steep, soft sand during a miscalculated 8 km coastal walk from Ocean Grove to Point Lonsdale. Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and hit play to improve your Aussie English listening skills while hanging out with us!
