Another Bank Holiday!

You don't get a bank Holiday for ages, then three come along at once! Off on friday, then off today then off again for the Royal Wedding next friday as well. Oh and the May bank Holiday too. I feel sorry for employers, some firms must be losing loads of money.
We have had a crossword fest over the weekend. Yesterday I did my usual You magazine one while VT did his Express one. then he came across one about the Royal Wedding so we did that as well. He finished the General Knowledge one in the Mail on Sunday really quickly today, and he does the big Monday crossword in the Daily Express today too. Most of the ones we do are the general knowledge type, which we find interesting, I think they do sharpen the mind.
Went out to get some veggies this morning, and it was really busy. it seemed that the world and his wife were out getting stocked up. We just whizzed round and got done in half an hour, and got everything we wanted. Then home for coffee. Although it looks lovely out today, there is quite a cool breeze. VT has just come in from the garden to get a sweater because it is cool. He doesn't feel the cold really, it is me who does. Yet the sun is cracking the flags as they say.
Our neighbour next door, has gone to London for a couple of days to see her daughter who is involved in theatre work down there. The son has been here for a few days too which is nice for her, and she rang the doorbell last night with the keys for VT to mind the cat..(ginger girl). of course last night there was no sign of it at all, and he went out about three times to get her in. When he isn't looking after it, it is all over him and follows him down to the post box, but of course when he can let her in, it disappears...Typical!! He is taking the view that if it stays out all day, it will be tired and want to go in tonight without trouble.. Hmmm., we shall see.
Watched an afternoon programme today..Baking Mad with Eric Lanlard. Only on half an hour, but such a mothwatering programme. Today he was making cupcakes, truly the fashion of the decade. He owns two high end shops in London, and his cupcakes are just gorgeous.He made some Tiramisu ones, a lemon meringue version with a gooey lemon centre, and some with a roasted pineapple topping. Oh Yummy!! He is too!!
Tonight we are having:
Some new Jersey Royals
Escalope
Mixed vegetables

Hiya, I'm back and exhausted!! but had a brilliant time. Yes it's warm during the day but the evenings get so cold in fact the other night Nigel went to bed with his sweatshirt on over his pj's and the hood up!! he was so cold. I think he might have got a bit of sun-stroke.
The cats seem to have missed up - last night I had them both on the bed with me (thankfully Nigel was away!!)and Prince just meows if he doesn't know where I am :))
Oh well back to work tomorrow - well for three days anyway!! take care, judyx
