The most awkward bank holiday ever

[Orang Utan]

I need to source a can of borlotti beans tomorrow. It’s gonna be a challenge!

Possibly tougher than the year I needed white wine on Xmas morning because you can’t get them in a petrol station like the horrible wine I had to buy.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Work was like Xmas Eve, so I'm getting hammered (shock horror). Will prolly wake up just as they're firing flaming arrows at the funeral barge

The horror!

I was reading that that whole thing is a fallacy

Why Flaming Arrows Are Kind Of Stupid - Tales of Times Forgotten

When I was in fifth and sixth grade, I played a game with my friends where we pretended we lived in a fantasy world called “Clod.” Most of my friends pretended to be rulers of various fictional countries within this world. One of my friends pretended that he was the king of the elves. Whenever …...

The great mcdonalds shutdown has begun. I fancy an egg and bacon mcmuffin as well

 

[LDC]

Going to the gym now, it better be open! After that staying indoors doing house stuff and admin. Might put the TV on for a few minutes at some point if I'm feeling brave.

 

[pogofish]

Well, Mrs Fish's new employer is still expecting her to start today, so because the buses are on a Sunday service, I'm up bright and early in order to run her out!

Then I'll get back to the painting!

The few places that are open will have giant tv screens playing the funeral to customers. Stay in and lock your door til 5pm at least

Well, looking at the weather, I think we will have a drive over to Arnham and then maybe into to Germany as Ms 747 hasn't been able to go since pre lock down.

(Nb The Mc Donalds here are open...)

 

[brogdale]

Dustbins emptied (very noisily). Don't suppose they will be, but I hope they're on time and half.

Rub it in why don't you

Yeah I could do with some hash browns and a bacon roll. Basically because I’ve been told I can’t have it.

Round here, all the Legion branches have opened to anyone, member or not to come-in and watch the funeral.

Most awkward for Sinn Féin who won't go to Westminster to sit in Parliament, but will go to Westminster to sit in the pews at Brenda's funeral.

They come not to praise Brenda but to bury her

I thought you weren't getting up until 12. Go back to bed.

 

[not a trot]

Wonder how many of the guests in the Abbey, have forgotten to switch their phones off.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Reading, listening to music and maybe a walk.

Just checked the TFL website for no reason and the Elizabeth Line is part suspended. There is a joke is there somewhere.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I'm going to go for a run. I intend to share a conspiratorial glance with all the other traitors I go past.

Fully open, no funeral stuff on anywhere, staff a bit surprised when I said I was pleased they were open as thought they might be closed. Happy techno playing and the gym was busier than normal.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Tbf we’re swerving any social disapproval for doing activities at the wrong time by using the day to tackle a long list of tasks we haven’t had time to do. Which I haven’t started and is already making me feel anxious

 

[smmudge]

I had a list of chores I planned but now I have a cold and bad sore throat, all I can do is sit front of the TV and OH is watching how long does this go on for, I wish for death

Same. I'm half hoping some bellend will try and have a go at me for being disrespectful: the adrenaline of running makes me more confrontational than usual if faced with bellends, and I won't hold back letting them know what I think

 

[hash tag]

A great day in town for a walk, a ride or run. Even here south of the river, the roads are deadly quiet.

Ours is shut. I got up at just after 10am and made myself bacon and eggs for breakfast. Normally this is a Sunday only treat but I thought in deference to the occasion I would have it today instead.
I have emptied the dishwasher and refilled the bird bath as well as the bird, squirrel and hedgehog feeders. As soon as I have finished this I will crack on with the ironing.

 

[andysays]

Just finished turning the compost heap.

Don't know about anyone else, but I always find it encouraging to see how dead things decompose and become something useful.

 

[Orang Utan]

Currently listening to old school hip hop, but going out in a bit to see if there’s a shop open somewhere and then I am going to watch the horror film Men (quite fitting for the occasion actually), then play Saints Row

My OH and her mother are glued to the telly (M-i-L almost literally - she sits a foot away so she can see it).

I've been pottering - kit bag packed for next weekend's festival, washing sorted - that sort of thing.

6 Music has mournful music on, as if to punish us traitors.
