Sorry, I thought you meant Bank Holiday weekend! It is only Friday but the sun is shining so I am happy.

I'll be getting wet, no doubt about it! Tomorrow a five mile walk with my old running chums, a good excuse for a bacon and egg sandwich afterwards. Sunday a wedding at an open-air museum (! shoes !) and Monday a plant sale at Weston Park. I'm just going to pretend it's early March and not May at all.

Surely not on a Friday, Annobel?

I don't know if this is one of them, but Scotland does have different public holidays from England and they often differ between cities.

North of the international date line, it seems, anagran!
I wish I could get excited about Bank holidays, but in teaching they were always (nearly always) part of school holidays/half term holidays and now that I am retired I don't notice the difference except the roads are busier. sad
Oh and you can count on it raining.

wisewoman, it isn't until Monday! I know Scotland is ahead of us in some things, but...grin

Just wanted to say that it is a lovely sunny bank holiday day in Scotland so not damp and miserable everywhere. (I know that makes a change!)

Well, neither am I! hmm

I'm not sure about the 'fun crowd interaction bit though! If one comes near me......!

Its sounding awful, cold and wet.. no sure what we'll be doing but certainly won't be going far and maybe even have to turn on the heating ... horror of horrors it is May isn't it? Hope it bucks up before we go for a few days away in June..

Happy birthday for tomorrow Absent. sunshine flowers

Hope the bleurgh feeling dissipates soon. I am doing some catching up with all the stuff (and people) that has been happening in the past six weeks while I have been on the other side of the world. I hate filing, so it will probably take the whole weekend. Tomorrow is my birthday so I look forward to being pampered older.

They are having performing Llamas.

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 16:10:34

Going to a May Fair put on by the local Round Table (or Lions or something).

Bloomin' weather. sad

Reading my files for the next weeks work!

What is every one planning to do this soggy Bank Holiday? There is no question that there will be no BBQs and not much gardening happening. I am happily resigned to the fact that I will be firmly planted on the sofa, knitting and watching TV. Actually am feeling quite bleurgh at the moment, so sounds great to me ;0
