Everything used to closed Good Friday but slowly all establishments are opening.
The law on this day previously was you had to buy a meal to get a drink in a pub.
Now that law has gone too. Hopefully I can back a winner or 6 !

Re: What are you doing today ?
Back to work after the Easter break...
Waiting for my new LP's to arrive to play on my new record player that Mrs H got me for my birthday last week...
When I say "new Lp's" I mean Space Oddity and Hunky Dory....
Got to wait for a couple of days for the wind to die down so I can play with my new drone that she got me.....

Re: What are you doing today ?
Gonna hit RHS Wisley again this afternoon, apparently they plated 100,000 tulip bulbs in November and, apparently, they're now in flower. As it's free for me and only 5 miles away it's a no brainer
Native bluebells should be out now though I'd do better going to Winkworth arboretum for those

Re: What are you doing today ?
I've been ummin and ahin over getting a drone Hector. One of those DJI mini things. I was reading up on a few of the new rules n regs and was a bit miffed on one about you now having to have a 'spotter' with you if that's correct? Be interested to hear of your experience with yours.hector wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 4:50 am Back to work after the Easter break...

Re: What are you doing today ?
This morning I’m off to Shackleton for a lawn bowls tournament . It’s about 200 kilometres east of Perth.
We play 3 games Saturday and Sunday and come back Monday morning.
This is the first lawn bowls tournament I’ve played in looking forward to it .

The Mrs as expected created a list of jobs. I have been painting for 3 days. New fencing arrives tomorrow for me to put in. Old concrete posts have to come out - so that will be me flirting with A&E. Too old for this s**t and too Northern to pay someone to do something I can do myself…….hopefully.
My Mrs wonders why I don’t seem to take much time off unless we are going away. What I would give for a week of doing f**k all, actually just a day would be nice.
Sad story but do what I do "Drop Things, anything than like screwdrivers, electrical things (just bought from Screwfix), drop something a second time adding a whimper of pain. The "Feeling a bit dizzy Love" does not always work but does not do any harm either
This painting for "3 days. plus that horrid thing about Fencing Concrete Post etc."
With all due respect is your Missus Japanese ?. Sounds like "Bridge on the River Kwai in
your Drum."
P.s. As a last resort "Burn the House down and go back to your Mam."

Re: What are you doing today ?
We were on holiday there in 1969..... My dad drove us down there from Singapore... The car broke down whilst we were there... We got a taxi back to Changi as it was cheaper than getting the car fixed......
