We flew back to Chicago on Saturday and twice, the flight attendant referred to the following day as “the holiday” instead of daring to mention Easter. I know not everone is Christian, I don’t even practise, but pur-leeze!

Who needs four days to eat chocolate?! Pah! We have been decorating – well… I say we…. Other Half has been attached to a paint brush and I have been on Small Child entertainment duties. Its not so much a holiday, more of a “Ooh good, I have my husband to jointly tear my hair out with” time for me and a “Well painting is better than bloody work any old day” episode for him.
There are no extra lay in’s plus you live closer to Bloomingdales than I do so don’t feel bad! (Something tells me you would rather swap?) Happy Easter!

You won’t be wanting to know that mine started on Wednesday night then! Nice to discover your blog via your comment on Silverback’s. I’ll be back soon to read more.

If Flash had picked the right week-end, he’d have had considerably more than 14 hours to save the universe (if his enemies respected national holidays).

I have to ‘spring forward’ and ‘fall back’ 4 times a year and what watch did I get as a Christmas pressie ? Yes one with no winder whatsoever.

It’s fine when within 1,000 miles of the atomic clock in Colorado but sadly Leeds is a wee bit outside that range.

Raising a glass of cold cream soda to you, Dylan and hope you’ll have a good, if slightly shorter than ours, Easter weekend.

I’d much rather have the two days near Thanksgiving for a national holiday than have no separation of church and state and two days off for a religious one…

This is usually our year to visit Texas for Thanksgiving. Yay! It will be warm AND the holidays at the same time.

Sorry I’m so late in commenting on this but I had a bit of a lie-in this morning what with it being Good Friday and all that…

So perhaps I should not mention, all being well, I get to have the UK Easter hols here AND Thanksgiving? I’ll probably arrive too late for 4th July but at least I have the compensation of two UK bank holidays in May to lessen the blow.

You’d forgotten about those, hadn’t you?

I’ve said too much…

Oh, and as from 12th April the government has raised the statutory minimum holiday entitlement to 28 days. They have, of course, done this as a bit of a laugh since 1/10 of the population don’t actually have a job any more and 50% of the remainder are too scared or too broke to go on holiday.

p.s. Next year I shall share your pain. Stoopid bank holidays. Grrr. That’s if they do actually let me in – I have written some truly appalling poetry and if they discover it I might be denied on the grounds of “section 5: danger to public health and welfare”.
