I had a good weekend. On Saturday morning, I went shopping with my mum and I bought a new dress. In the afternoon, I met my friends and we went to a café to have a coffee and some cake. In the evening, after dinner I watched a horror film. The film was called “The nun”.

On Sunday, it was sunny, so I went for a walk with my baby and I took some photos of him. In the afternoon, I listened to music and I read the newspaper. In the evening, I marked exams and then, I went to sleep.
