It was dark as night and pouring rain where I was, in the upper middle of Illinois, in mid-afternoon. Thunder and lightning as well, odd in February.

Lunchtime stroll completed under the watchful eye of the dustbin operatives

My slices of smoked cheese with jalapeño have fused themselves back into a solid mass. This delayed brunch by a good 15 minutes. Spicy pepperoni was added to compensate for the inconvenience.

Popped to Sainsbury for a few, urgent, items for the lunch club.

A world I am familiar with.

I'mall generalisations are usually wrong most of thetime

Don't know where she might be. But a motel and patience might be the solution.
Once got caught in similar near "twin cities" 70 cm of snow one afternoon. Actually frightening

Was it the bang on the head or was Cycle Chat having a funny day yesterday?

Might be the phone too. I dropped it a little bit again

I would practice the naps first and then see how you get on !

Very dangerous napping without training.
Have you done the Napping 1 course?
Really need Napping 2c to attempt unsupervised napping.
Around here you need the Napping 1e to do the Settee - Horizontal otherwise it's Recliner intermediate.
You have done the risk assessment of course.

Sorry but it is most christian festivals in this county are long established Pagan festivals taken over and changed to suit the churches doctoring.

But Easter was already being celebrated throughout the Western Church, it wasn't restricted to the UK. The timing of Easter is related to the Jewish Passover, although set at a slightly different time, in the West set on a Sunday, because of the mutual hostility.

But they do it's in statue as a bank holiday, If it fall's on Sunday legally the Monday after becomes a substitute day.
Like last year technically Christmas day was 27th.

That they give us a bank holiday when Christmas Day falls on a Sunday or Saturday does not mean they control when Christmas occurs.

Christmas and Easter are just exercises in commercial and consumer excesses.

I've just completed my post-brunch wild napping for the day. I hope you're not too outraged, @Gwylan

Which is why I said in this county timing and most of it's traditions which are now christian festivals are long held pagan ones.
If easter moves due to natural events then it don't sound very christian to me. The fact that it moves is laughable what's more of a joke is in an ever increasing secular society. We even put with having a bank holiday that is solely based on the whims. Of an ever growing irrelevant organisation that is totally out of touch with the modern world.

Somehow your post was about ten feet long. I donned my Mod hat and removed the excessive spacing.

I left the wording just as you wrote it.

It's my granddaughter's birthday & the family are round. My son spotted I was taking the occasional catnap.
