I have small children, so at the moment I usually meet my friends at the playground. When it gets warmer outside, from spring to autumn, I often take my children to the playground or go for a walk a few times a week after dinner. On weekends, I usually meet my friends at home in the afternoon, after finishing all the household chores.
I meet my friends on Coffee Zone Cafe in sheraton area and I usually meet them on Thursday or Friday at 9 or 10 PM
I meet my friends some weekends. We usually meet at a quarter to seven,then eat and to go the theatre.
I usually meet with my friends at my house on weekends after 7 pm. We like to play board games and watch movies.
Well, I usually meet my friends at the mall near our school. It has many restaurants that offer affordable food with good ambience. Because my friends love to eat good food so I often call them to meet at the nearby food area. We usually hangout during weekends.
We don't meet a lot, but we usually meet at a really good pizza restaurant, the pizza there is a little bit expensive but it's really delicious, sometimes if we haven't enough money we meet at any local cafe.
I sometimes meet up with my friends at a cozy cafe that has a small garden or a nice terrace with plantes, a small pond with koi fish, and some good music. Saturday morning around 9 am is perfect time to catch up with friends, have a coffee or a herbal tea, and enjoy some sweet cakes.
I rarely leave text messages and instead write a what's up message or make a phone call.
Leaving a text message help the peopl to reminds the the task and do it definitely particularly when you are working at an office.
