What's everyone else who's stranded on this gorgeous island (by high air fares and a crippled pound) doing this weekend?

We had a family gathering yesterday. Today I am car-booting, second-hand-book-shopping and doing some pretty-girlie stencils on my bedroom wall.

Tomorrow, there has to be a good car boot sale around! You?

I'm at work today and tomorrow. :( 10 hour shift today! I don't think I've had a bank holiday off for a couple of years....

I went to a rollergirl fundraising event in Bedford last night. The rest of the weekend I intend to spend on the sofa.

I'm happy! There's a jumble sale on at the Buddhist centre in Kennington. But I will not be able to have a cuppa without thinking of that Fish poem. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

I had your illness for most of it - and then we went to see my old Mum on the Monday. Really groovy bank holiday. Ho Hum. Now considering a late holiday in Corsica to make up for it.
