I’m hoping for some nice weather.

Plans still shaping up and was supposed to be going for a big family meal in the Valleys, but not happening now with dad's recent surgery, so currently:

  • Big food festival on in town - lots of taste tasting and general piggery
  • Phil Wang standups on Netflix - assuming at least one day will have crap weather and I have tickets to see Philly Philly Wang Wang in October!
  • Good old beach walk on whichever day the weather holds with a nice brunch at the end - and I can even have a mimosa because my city offers free buses to everyone during Easter which is honestly such a good thing
  • Documentary screening and a talk on a local poltergeist from 1965 at the local library... I am sure I heard about this case once before on a podcast so very interested to learn more but also have people presenting who were there at the time.

I work, so only the long weekend off. Possibility of a bit of live music and/or live comedy too but I also only moved recently and should really be sorting my house out with the extra time presented by this weekend...

I'll be redecorating the bedrooms.

Nothing this year, we’re usually a bit more organised. Friend and I just debating a play date/ trip to adventure play place on the Friday - it’s outdoor though and weather looks awful.

Nothing planned on Sat, Sunday will do an egg hunt for DD then possibly call in to see the in laws. I usually invite them for a roast dinner but it’s been a really really hectic and difficult time for various reasons and I just don’t think I have the energy this year. We might take some afternoon tea type stuff round there instead.

No idea on the Mon.

Also church!
Thursday evening Mass.
Friday afternoon Passion, Friday evening stations
Saturday annual major church cleaning.
Sunday morning Mass, then family round for roast lamb

we are atheist so it’s business as usual for us - gym, roast lunch, gardening, cleaning..
DD is home from uni so no doubt there will be chocolate.

Birthday party and a football match on Good Friday. Nothing planned for Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
So, chocolate and stopping the kids killing each other….

I am having family for Easter Sunday lunch. There will be 8 of us, so not huge. However I'm doing a buffet and never knowingly underused, so the table will be groaning. My grandsons will be hyper on chocolate, my uncle will wind them up and my son has news for the family. Can't wait

Child free that weekend so a nice walk followed by some chocolates 😊
