Are we going down to the beach hut tomorrow? Or will it be too cold, and we'll have to go and visit our grandparents instead?

Oops, I seem to have failed to anticipate the Easter Hideaway. Maybe this thread could be moved?

Weather looks like it'll be loverly. But I had my weekend holiday break last weekend.

I have moved it to the said subforum.

As for my Easter plans, I have to spend the weekend fighting weeds and long grass.

I'm going to search my house for things I might be able to chuck out, thus creating more space for me.

I found some such things. I've filled two bags with clothes that I'm too fat to fit into nowadays. I freed up additional space by amalgamating two half-empty boxes of rubbish into one full box of rubbish.

I love the spacious feeling of Easter. Not like a normal weekend where every second counts. I can just potter around and know I've got another 2½ hours to mow the lawns, or I can leave them till tomorrow or Monday if I want.

The only problem with Easter though is, at some point you go from 'thinking it's Saturday and you've only got 1 more day off, when it's Good Friday and you've actually got 3 more' to 'thinking it's Easter Saturday and you've got 2 more days off when it's Easter Sunday and you've actually only got 1 more'.

And I believe about now is the crossing junction between those two opposed worldviews.

It's very quiet this morning.

Too quiet.

I have placed my spring tea towel upon display



I got this in return for sending off 4 Sandwich Spread lids in 1989.

Have you got an whole seasonal set!?

I hoped to build one up, but the promotion stopped after I'd got the Spring one.

I'm happy to imagine the other 3:

Summer - like Spring but fewer clouds, darker green trees and different flowers instead of daffodils.

Autumn - lighter blue sky, the trees bending in the wind and leaves blowing off them. Maybe a leaf pile in the garden with a rake stuck in it.

Winter - snow piled either side of the path and on the fields, bare trees, maybe a round red sun setting, snowman in the garden, reverse side of holly wreath partially obscuring bottom left window pane.

I found a picture of Summer!



Autumn and Winter are nowhere to be seen.

Ooh! Ooh!
