I went back home for a week and it rained for 6 days. Went to the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-rede rope bridge on the good day, and had a cracking meal of Antrim ham, black pudding, chunky garlic chips, fried duck egg, and Ballymaloe relish, with a couple of pints of Smithwick's red. I also got the winner in the Irish grand national, which meant I got the winner in the English, Scottish, and Irish races. Good week, bar the weather.

yeah alright cheers bruv, how was yours?

Went over to Europe for a festival, really enjoyable right up until the point when I got food poisoning. DX Had to miss the last day staying in my room close to a toilet with recovery fortunately quick enough to make the flight home risk free but I'm still learning what I can and uh definitely can't eat yet

That sounds like a real rollercoaster ride of a weekend!

It was great to have the long weekend. I’m beginning to think that every weekend should be four days!
My wife gave the BBQ a thorough Spring clean while I focused on unscheduled lawnmower maintenance. First BBQ in warm weather is always a treat, and the lawnmower started with first pull, so that was nice.
-
My mower will probably start with the 1st, maybe 2nd pull, but man, the deck is so rusted out I think it would cut my toes off.
Better check ebay for 2nd hand mowers...

Went away for a couple days over the Easter weekend, came home to a leaking hot water cylinder.
Turns out the welding on one of the connections has cracked, but fair enough the manufacturer is going to replace it.
-
I hope the water didn’t cause much damage.

Thanks. Luckily not, well, the plasterboard ceiling (beneath the tank obviously) appears to have dried out without cracks or yellowing... yet...?

Bad weekend, I had stuff to do (my dad needs help with his house, and Ive got work I need to finish because the yanks dont sleep) but my mother had floating plans for the whole break.
We ended up doing nothing, and I got snippy with her the one time she suggested doing something concrete.
Tuesday rolled around and things cooled down once we were back to regular schedules.

Same in my case. Living back with parents, after having lived independently, is annoying.

I count myself fortunate to have somehow avoided ridiculous rents/rent increases, terrible landlords and bad housemates, eventually getting on the housing ladder in my late 30s. Too many people especially in the home countries/London aren't nearly as lucky. Even offered help by my parents but wanted to do it myself

On the one hand, nice to not worry about food and a home cooked meal is always good.
On the other hand, when you have no agency in what time you wake up or what you eat, or even how you spend your evenings without anyone's judgement, you literally regress back into a moody teenager.
I'm in my mid thirties and yet I feel like a child still. It's actually worrying me.

A hornet has spent most of the week sizing up my shirt rail as a potential nest site. Persuasion hasn't worked, so I have ordered a screen for the window.
I was only called in for one problem at work over the weekend, which was easily resolved,. Spent the rest of it sorting out the shed, pottering in the garden and reading.
In a week and two days I will be off on a regular holiday with friends for a fortnight. It always seems a long slog between Xmas and this one, so really looking forward to it.

Things are good. Nice Easter weekend with nice weather, can't complain. Hope you all had a good Easter too.
