Our first of three bank holiday weekends this month for us Brits :o what are you doing for it?

I'm currently having a nice pint at the airport awaiting a flight to the Isle of Man to visit my 96 year old grandmother. Not sure how relaxing that's gonna be.

I generally love traveling like this on my own but the airport is a predictable nightmare full of stag dos and hen dos. When will stupid fancy dress at stag dos go out of fashion :think:

We are going to celebrate big time.
This morning I had my first negative Covid result in a fortnight.
Hubby cleared his yesterday.
Haven’t seen anybody for a fortnight, apart from through the window or the glass in the front door, thank heavens for the porch.
A big big thank you to my kids and all who rallied round to cheer us up and keep us going.:dance::cheer2: Party time.

Thanks everyone…

He was a great age..93 and up until his stroke before Christmas he was very active.
He had a great life…and died peacefully.

What more could you ask for…

My little sister started challenging me at scrabble during lockdown. The online version.

She didnt know about word generator.. I fessed up to her a few weeks ago and was slightly taken aback at her reaction when I told her!

Not happy at all.:nono:
