God, it feels great to finish early and just do f**k all afterwards, sometimes.

How about you lot? Are you now off until the bank holiday Monday, at least?

You just finished?
I was back home for 2pm

Turbohot

Lucky you!

To be honest, I felt quite 'holiday like' relaxed since my lunch time. My visual take of the water and dithering ducks from my peaceful spot was just so calming! I even slept better last night.

I even saw a rabbit, sticking its head out of its hole yesterday, on my same old lunch time wander! I tried to take its picture on my iPhone but it went in when I tried to get closer to it.

It really feels like Easter i.e. 'egg and chicken' like.

spend w/e dodging the weather , probably go back to work

Turbohot

You mean you or us?

Aren't you surfing this weekend, Duncan?

To be honest, I haven't looked at the weather forecast yet.

Turbohot

I've just read about the mighty Storm Katie.

Even then, I'm going to enjoy my relaxing holiday. No Katie can come in my way and bar that.

Finished for the weekend, hope about 6pm. Is my little one's 5th birthday today, so been eating cake, playing games and letting her make me up.

Yep, the relative that bought her a make up set, will not be getting a Christmas card this year!

Weather rubbish, but short week then off on holiday next Friday

Torquemada

I've lost all my bank holidays now that I'm over the pond...booo!

The weather is nice though....swings and roundabouts.

Scooby.Newbie

Is pouring with rain here, will swap you a swing for a roundabout!

Torquemada

lol, no way! we skipped winter completely here, this year. There is the whole 'tornadoes that could kill you' thing but hey, I live in a little area which seems to be skipped by that stuff here. The thunderstorms are awesome though

Metaphor?

Happy birthday to your little one, S.N. Bet you can't wait for your holiday away next Fri.

Oh, yes! They don't have a bank holidsys over there. I wonder what they do there, over Easter. Same as here? E.g. Choc eggs, choc eggs hunt etc.?

Turbohot

Yeah. Metaphor to a new beginning, rebirth and feeling alive again. Days are getting lighter and slightly warmer, yellow daffodils are out. Feels good.

Great image, James. Happy Good Friday to you and other Christian folk on here, anywhere and everywhere.

Thanks, Swati. Xx

Well a after being confronted with a broken central heating system whe I got home last night (after a radiator move by the builders)

I have spent the last 5 hours fixing it - which I think I have done


But off on a cheeky ski holiday on Monday - the snow is pretty good in the Alps atm, and hopefully it will be sunny (and warmish) too

dpb

splendid day here after all that

Turbohot

Have a good skiing holiday, Hodgy.


Same here, Duncan. This morning I travelled on the coast road intentionally to avoid the express way traffic jams, but no! Even the coast road was so slow with unbelievable Easter hols traffic that I got fed up and turned back. That didn't exactly stop the sun from shining, so yes, a great day nonetheless.

Apparently, it's downhill from tomorrow on. Non-stop rain and high winds expected.

Turbohot

Nice! Enjoy.

For us, it was the mother in law's Mary Berry fish pie and her lemon zest cake for afters; topped with dripping icing and further crowned with tiny, freckled chocolate eggs tonight. Absolutely delicious meal! Fish instead of any other meat is continued to be preferred by her on Good Friday. I said to her that at least on Good Friday, we can pretend to be good by discarding other meat but still eating fish meat. That made her cackle in a pretending way, but it also meant that I didn't get asked to consume the last remaining slice of that amazing cake. Oh well. That's life.

I've had one organic chocolate egg gifted to me. I shall further it to my son, if he accepts. I myself bought a Cadbury's one for him, if he accepts. I personally have no interest in hollow chocolate eggs. Mind you, I clocked a massive solid chocolate egg in Tesco last year for 30 quid! I'm not spending this kind of money on a chocolate frikking egg for myself or anyone.

Nice to have a good thread :-)

Got my daughter on Monday.Kate.Or storm Katie coming in.lol

Happy Easter folks

hodgy0_2

what I don't understand re storm Katie

is why on earth do people book the ferry when going to France, it is madness

I am going to France on Monday - I suggested to my travel partner that the tunnel would be best

"no no lets do the ferry"

to me that means you are simply at the mercy of the weather

70mph winds forecast on Monday - where the south coast wtf

will people ever learn!!! lol

dpb

I book the ferry , cos it's 5 minutes down the road

Just over 4 years now shocking I know! Thank you .

Turbohot

Nice one, Loz. Enjoy their company while they're little, I say. Once they grow up and leave the nest, you're redundant from your parental duties, my friend. That's the time you may want to look for some hobbies for yourself or get cats or something.

Yes, it is ridiculous.

I think some people love to battle with the storms, and don't give a f**k! Silly sometimes, I know.

You too, Mr. LSh. have a good time away with your co. I wouldn't have bothered with Scotland after knowing that that Hurricane Katie will try to floor me. Good on you, though.


For all n' sundry:

Now as the positive season change has begun around us, enjoy the brightness of the daffodils, even if the sky here doesn't stay as clear :



Happy Easter, everyone.
