No change for me. Most days are all the same. Because I'm happily retired

πŸ˜€

I'll be visiting family as I've so missed seeing my family during the lockdowns. I'll also be walking in the forest and as always getting stuck in with some of my DIY jobs ate home.

I hope that everyone enjoys the bank holiday and stays safe especially if traveling. 😊

We put in raised beds for Jacqui to grow vegetables. That meant me moving 2 tons of topsoil using a spade and a wheelbarrow. The cats have said, "Look at the size of those litter trays!" The word 'Shoo' now figures large in my vocabulary.

I am planning to re-seal our shower, because it started leaking a couple of weeks ago (don't worry, we have a bath too so I'm not walking around with flies following me!)

I might try to visit my aunt too, while we're able to.

in reply to Cooper27

Hey good luck Cooper27 as you can't beat a refreshing shower, I'm sure that you don't have flies following you LOL. And visiting your aunt would be nice, you enjoy your BH now. 😊

in reply to Cooper27

Gardening - we do not visit attractions on bank holidays as they are too busy and the traffic is bab

in reply to Hezzabear

Best thing to do is not visit things on bank holidays as that's what we do unless it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime events that won't happen again on those days.

We have a beautiful stretch of promenade near us and walk there most days. One bank holiday we drove down there and struggled to find a parking space, in the end I said, let's go home and sit in the garden, we're lucky that we can go to the prom any other day of the week. Since then we leave bank holidays and most Saturdays and Sundays for those who can only go there on a day off :)

in reply to PandQs

I find that the queues on bank holidays are ridiculous myself so give them a miss unless there's something really special going on.

Other than getting together with my Church family on Sunday and having 2 of our granddaughters sleeping over Saturday night, I have nothing planned. Boring aren't I.

Other - two big occasions - finally managing to go to hotel spa break that was originally booked March 2020 and rebooked 3 times due to being in different tiers and lockdown and then on Monday attending the (open air) memorial celebration for someone whose funeral was under strict lockdown restrictions.

in reply to PandQs

Last Saturday we finally got to do our rearranged day out in taunton that was due to have been done in April last year and I think we enjoyed it more due to having to have waited for it!

I'm another person working :( I have been off Tuesday and today and it has just poured. Wanted to get in to the garden but it is really wet, if it was a drizzle I would have braved it but it is really coming down!

Knowing my luck the weather will improve when I am working this weekend and the Bank Holiday :)

You enjoy today and tomorrow then as it’s brighter here now 🌞

I do enjoy seeing my family. I forgot to add during this bank holiday I will be having a clear out of my bedroom and donating stuff to the P.D.S.A and to the Heart Foundation, I find it really liberating letting items go as I donate them to charity.What about you what do you enjoy doing in the bank holiday?

Thank you for mentioning me.

May go for for a drive on one of the days. And if weather suitable have our picnic lunches in the Summer house, which will make a change

in reply to Rosepetal60

This sounds good to me Rose as it’s great to be able to get out especially if the weathers nice. 🌞

Not a lot, not working this Bank Holiday, enjoying the sun hopefully. 😎😎

What country are you in? In the United States, we are observing and remembering all of the troops who died while fighting for their country. It's Memorial Day. God bless those fine, patriotic, mostly very young men. We don't care if the banks are open or not.
