This is my diary for the week.
Today is Saturday. I am going to Wells with Manuel.
On Sunday I am teaching and if it's not raining, I will be gardening in the afternoon.
On Monday I am going to the dentist.
On Thursday I am visiting my mother.
On Saturday I am seeing my sister and going to the Mulberry shop.
In all these examples, I have already decided to do these things.
I am doing something (tomorrow ) = I have already decided and arranged to do it.
What are you doing today ? - Not What do you do today.
Today I am going to Wells with Manuel. We are going to look around the Cathedral and the Farmer' Market and eating at either The Old Spot, Goodfellows or The Swan Hotel at lunch time.
How are you spending your Saturday ?
