Hi and welcome to a typical British Summer Bank Holiday

The weather is fine now, but don't go anywhere without your umbrellas

Not that I'll worry too much, today i'm in work and I have loads of paperwork to do. OH is going shopping for me with a long list of the things I forgot to get in the week.
I have tomorrow and Monday as days off this week so can join in the holiday feeling then. May get around to doing my planters and pots, a last!

Hi, I'm just finishing work

Can't leave the phones til 7.30am so thought I'd pop on to say hi.
I've got to get JOhn & the girls sorted as they are off for a weeks holiday tomorrow (I'm staying home as I'll be at work)
Loads of other things to get done today too, so no time for Catsey.

Right nearly home time, habe a good day.

Lovely day by the looks of it today. Off to get my hair done in a bit.

See you all later x

Lovely sunny day here, went to the Garden Centre this morning and bought 4 New Guinea Impatiens. The heavy rain yesterday really brought the slugs and snails out in force this morning !

Have a good holiday weekend everyone!

Afternoon!
It's so nice to have internet access again and to be able to sleep without having my blood pressure taken every hour!

It's a bright, sunny day here so might even venture outside for a while, otherwise just keeping as still as possible!
Have a great weekend all!

Didn't realize you were having a Bank Holiday Monday: so it's a long weekend for us on both sides of the Pond...it's Memorial Day here. And looks to be nice, sunny and warm (finally!) I've no special plans, may think of having a cookout...
The usual Saturday library run, nothing on the afternoon agenda.
Hope all have a nice day, and hope to see you tonight at the quiz!

Eileen, our Bank Holiday is known as Spring Bank Holiday, previously know as Whitsun.

Originally Whitsun was observed on the 7th Sunday after Easter. The recent adoption of a late Spring Bank Holiday on the last Monday in May attempts to deal with the fact that Whitsuntide is a moveable feast dependant on the date of Easter.

Thanks, that was interesting! I'd heard of Whitsun on the church calendar; how nice to have a permanent long weekend holiday at the unofficial beginning of Summer!
