Lol...You sound like me...Faith can sit in the sun on the beach and have a great time. Ten minutes and I'm grumbling, fidgeting and annoying her. And ye, shade glorious shade...I'm not one to sit in the sun unless I have to. The other thing is that I hate sand. Yeah, I'm one of them. It get's everywhere and I can't stand it. So, we walk on the beach, don't live far from it, and will go for a swim sometimes, but never in the heat of the day and we never lay on the beach...It's all my fault. :)
Faith isn't the most co-ordinated of girls. She was a great netballer though, played GA (goal attack) as she's six feet tall, and was very good at it. She also swam for the State, bloody awesome swimmer*, but co-ordination isn't her thing. This all makes it far worse that she beat me at mini golf. Lol. I'm not a golfer either, and I think calling mini golf golf is a big leap anyway. No way I'll let her win though, if I can help it.
I only follow a few people here and I often do a cull. It depends on activity and content. I have followed people whose quality nose-dived and unfollowed, sometimes re-followed too though. Sometimes my feed get's a little slow but I have to keep it free from the stuff that bores me to tears, like crypto graph bullshit for one. I curate for curangel so I'm always outside of my feed and see a lot of posts. It works for me, others may have their own ideas.
With the #weekend-engagement posts...Yeah, it's a lot. I tend to see the head comment someone makes and respond as quickly as I can and follow it up as necessary. Then with the sub-comments I glance through, add input where I think I can ad something relevant and then move on. I don't want to comment everywhere there though as it's all about other people doing so. I don't want to get in the way. I address everything that's direct to me though.
