It's bank holiday again...again a long weekend...
That what it is in May...first and last Monday of the month off work...
The weather unfortunately won't be great...actually I can say that it will be pretty bad...
Not that I had big plans or ideas to go anywhere...but maybe some time at the downs or a barbecue would have been nice...
Nothing of that instead...
I will have time to go and look for a bicycle though....since I want to buy one and use it in the 10 days of sunshine that will hopefully warm the English summer...
Also I will have time to plan a bit the summer holiday with some friends...but I will write about that next days...when we got something a bit more definitive...
Bye bye...!

In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. Not in the UK...
Here it works different...bank holidays are not fixed days...it is bank holiday It is bank holiday Good Friday, Easter Monday, the first and the last Monday on May, the last Monday of August, plus boxing day (26th of December) and the new year's day (1st of January). Bank Holidays get their name because they are days when banks are shut and therefore, traditionally, no other businesses could operate.
So that, today was a day as all the other of the year...! We are not so unlucky though...we will have bank holiday next Monday...Looking forward to it...!
