Bank Holiday Monday Plans?

[BrandyandBabycham]

It doesn’t really feel like a Bank Holiday weekend with everything that’s going on but we’ll still try to do something nice. It’s our wedding anniversary tomorrow too. We were going to have steak for tea but are having that tonight instead as we got up late so DH didn’t have time to make the slow cooker dish we’d planned. Reluctant to hit the beach as keep hearing horror stories of massive crowds with many not social distancing plus people using the sand as a toilet 🤮 Also we’re advised not to swim as there are no lifeguards, although actually some beaches we go to never have them anyway.

Just a nice walk in the park and a peaceful day at home.
I would not fancy the coast with the issues with social distancing right now .

I hope you have a nice Anniversary Op

Ah have a nice anniversary OP.
We’re having DSD over, her and DP will be going for a walk in the local valley, they’ve not had any one to one time since lockdown and desperately need to just be together for a few hours.
I’ll be painting DS’s mud kitchen for his birthday next month, drinking cups of tea and enjoying a little bit of alone time.

I thought I might drive up to Durham.

We're going to walk a couple of miles to meet DP's DS in a park for a chat. We'll take a flask of coffee and a picnic rug.

Gardening, family walk, DH will bike ride, and jerk chicken for dinner.

Pretty much the same as every Saturday/Sunday/Bank Holiday since 23/03. Thank God the weather has been brilliant.

I’ll just stay in I think, for a change ...

Barnard Castle is nice at this time of year. Seeing the Bluebell Woods before they die back is a must.

I hear Durham is lovely for a day trip. Not sure where you are OP but if its only a few hours drive.

Might get up as late as I possibly can before feeding my dc the sane meals they’ve had 490 times in the last 10 weeks. Then we’ll flop around and watch Horrible Histories in iPlayer again. Then we’ll go for a walk, maybe a bike ride. At some point the dc will FaceTime my mum and go to bed, then DH and I will in a futile attempt to sleep, before doing it all again the next day, except this week the dc won’t even have schoolwork to distract them, whilst DH tries to keep his business (and 60 people’s livelihoods) in business and I try a keep my job.

Can you tell my massively fed up?

We are planning a late afternoon beach trip but we have our campervan so are completely self-sufficient. Will drive to a part of the coast where there are few people and have a barbecue and watch the sun go down. Such a shame we are not able to spend the night yet really looking forward to campsites reopening.

Nothing. Same as today. Same as every other day.

Working all day. HCA in NHS hospital...

We're going to Nostell Priory (National Trust), they've opened about 10 car parks across the country and you have to book in for a parking space. You can spend as much time in the parklands as you like, but if you arrive late for your allotted parking time you'll lose the space. My kids are BEYOND excited (and so am I).

Will be a dull day for us. DP will probably be on his laptop as with a normal Monday.

I'll do what I fancy, apparently it's OK now. Boris said.

It's ds 3rd Birthday so we will be celebrating that. He has been talking about a party with his friends for about 6 months. I hope we eventually will be able to have a party for him.

@VoteForPayton, very envious that you manage to book a parking space! They went very quickly !!

Well if you drive to Durham you are fine so what’s the problem? No rules broken.

Happy anniversary OP

I'm having a lie in tomorrow as it's my turn. Once I get up, food shopping and finishing off the massive pile of washing We'll be going for a walk with the baby as she gets grumpy staying indoors all the time and will pack a picnic. After that, fantasy online shopping for all the stuff I need to buy for our new house (if our offer is actually accepted )

Have a nice anniversary op.

Off to collect my new (second hand) blue convertible mini, then a long walk with the mad dog! I’ve been driving around in an old man Volvo for a long time now and so excited to have a fabulous car again!

I think I'll skulk in the bedroom as I have done for 9 weeks or so because every other room in the house has someone in it! DH will work or work on his hobby, which is also now on a laptop. The dds will fight or watch their iPads. They might venture into the paddling pool and bring all the water back in the house.

Also pissed off.

Bank Holiday is just another day. Just same old. Bed most of day probably. Might do some work.

We’re having a socially distant cul-de-sac street gathering with games, separate food/picnics and chats in the sunshine planned. Blessed to have fab and fun neighbours through this lockdown.
