B Natural answer

With the seasons, my routine changes pretty naturally. In spring and early autumn, I like to and go cycling after work. When the weather gets colder or wetter, I usually like cooking, learning guitar, or watching documentaries. I also try to on weekends if the weather is nice, because it helps me reset. I don’t plan every week in detail; I just adjust what I do based on how comfortable it feels.
