What are we all doing this bank holiday weekend?

[antc]

As per the thread title really. What is everyone upto this fine bank holiday weekend?

I personally have nothing planned so far but am tempted to go to the bsb at cadwell park in lincoln. I really want to get out and do some photography im just lacking some ideas currently.

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Working, and a family gathering at some stage...fun, fun, fun!

[richie]

Not doing much got my pre op tuesday:gag::bonk::thumbsdown::help::'(

[nebulising queen]

Working! not to complain though I am jetting of to Malta on the Sunday following

[woadrage]

Most of it will be spent sorting out stuff for our holiday, which starts the following weekend.

Checking the tent (not used since last year, unsurprisingly), buying a fold-away picnic table, looking for the spare mantles for the gas lantern, that sort of thing.

Will definitely have one day out though - I need to give the new tripod a dry run for frogland :D

[JPS]

Well I'll be on the 2 - 10 shift on BH Monday. It will be quiet, no management at work on BH days. So I'll be on the internet all day - pretty much like now then :lol: So I hope there are others on here that day to keep things flowing.......

[steveinspain]

I'll be harvesting my almonds, taking the kids to the beach and enjoying some time at home - the first two depend on the weather though - Spain in August is meant to be hot and sunny - we have had loads of rain, no power, no internet and dark low clouds, giving me deep depression and misery..

[Chuckurbarla]

Ha Ha, we'll be harvesting almonds too! Unlike Spain it hasn't rained here since early May so everything is brown but at least we won't have to lay the almonds in the sun to dry out later.

[mwoody]

probably get really drunk and spend most of sunday and monday regretting it

[Matt Charlton]

I'm working but getting double time for monday and tuesday (Tuesday is technically a bank holiday for us for some bizarre reason that only the LEA/Council knows - not that I'm complaining of course).

First time ever that I'll have worked on a BH, :(

[mummygina]

No plans as yet, but i'm starting an online photography course tomorrow, and hope that i'll be able to spend time on my first 'photography' assignment (that sounds so posh LOL), over the weekend

[daftbugga]

i'm going to cadwell on sunday ,and work on saturday & monday.:bang:

[T-Photo]

I'm off to paignton zoo :)

[scraggs]

Weather permitting I will be getting seedbeds ready on the farm (18 hour days:(), but I dont think that it will dry out enough for me to get started so will probably get some jobs done in the workshop and take it easy at home.

[Yv]

:lol: :lol: I have just found out that after driving across to Reading last weekend, the Enfield country Show is on this weekend [about 3 miles away].... so thats what we are doing! ;)

[Madpup]

Go to beach, work on my tan, soak up some rays..... then wake up and go to work.

[davidbridges]

Going up to Kingussie and i think going to some highland wildlife park. But i should i have a good time for photography up there.

[mij]

Saturday I am going to the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.

Sunday I should be going to the Middlesex 9s in Wood Green - an international amateur rugby league tournament and should be a great opportunity for photographers with 12 teams taking part. And they have a real ale festival too.

No plans for Monday.

Michael.

[CTR_Chris]

Working all weekend :( and missing the Rally cross at Lydden on Monday

[HIMUPNORTH]

[CScottMcQueen]

[theMusicMan]

I might try to persuade my wife and daughter to come to Skomer island on Sunday or Monday. Depends on the weather forecast I guess.

[RickMezza]

Cadwell BSB, :)

[Jo]

Weather permitting (looks unlikely) we will be joining relatives on Ingoldmells beach one day over the weekend. Good chance for me to get some candids of my niece and nephew :) Other than that I don't really know :shrug: maybe find a show or something somewhere to attend.

[pobs]

i'd love to be going to cadwell BSB but will watch it on the box instead. entertaining my 2 small lads will take most of the time.

Oh, and if I can get to the post office in the nanosecond the parcels office is open on Saturdays I hope to be picking up new toys for the camera.

[King_Boru]

Meeting up with some clients on Saturday afternoon, playing some rugby, looking after the little one and then, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

[dazzajl]

sitting in waiting for the (surely inevitable) phone call to go off and do amazingly exciting things in fabulous places with gorgeous and glamourous people. :lol:

[Matt.]

I'm going to visit my family :) It's a shame i'm going to visit them though when they live in the middle of the country, and i'm by the sea! especially seeing as it's going to be unusually sunny this weekend!

[inophoto]

I've got a walk in the Yorkshire Dales planned if the weather stays nice. Might take some pictures of some sheep or something :shrug:

[Hoodi]

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THE POSTIE BRINGS!

If he brings Nothing tomorrow // Sat then I'll be formatting my laptop and chasing up some moneys.

If he brings my sealing foam I'll be taking lots of time to re-seal my RB67.

If he brings Bioshock (computer game) I'll be playing that.

If he brings my new processor I'll be installing that.

If he brings documents pertaining to work I'll be shuffling them to one side and doing one of the above :lol:

Irregardless of what he brings I'll be going to the market Sunday morning and spending the rest of the day relaxing in the sun :thumbs:

Monday will be back to work, I don't do bank holidays :lol:

[whiteflyer]

I be shooting images at Manchester Pride Festival/Parade on Saturday, with nothing planed for Sunday and Monday

[Eric Mc]

sitting in waiting for the (surely inevitable) phone call to go off and do amazingly exciting things in fabulous places with gorgeous and glamourous people. :lol:

[spencer]

[Joe T]

How did it go Min?

[CTR_Chris]

I'm doing Lydden on Monday :D


Haha, see you there then, I managed to black male the boss into letting me have it off, since he left me in the crap all week.

[Gandhi]

relaxing as I'm broke til tuesday.

Bloody banks and their stupid cheque clearing systems.

So expect plenty of photo's from around bath and many, many macros from the field down the road lol.

[Ally]

I was just going away to start a thread like this!! :lol:

I'm currently sitting with almond oil in my ears and cotton wool to keep it in, before I get my ears syringed :gag:
Back at college on friday, quite looking forward to it :D
hope everyone has a good weekend :)

[Tsukiyomi]

Pumping Iron.

If It's sunny I'll snap some pics If not, I;ll probably be staying In.

Oh yeah and watching some quality boxing on Sentanta Sports.

[Woodsy]

No idea. Taking each day as it comes at the moment... No spare cash might be a cause of a that!

[antc]

Well my weekend has started amazingly. I was all set to go to cadwell this morning, went to pick up my camera back and pulled/trapped something in my back. I have been lying down for a good part of the day. Not happy to say the least as the weather has been awesome. Back seems a little batter now, but i currently have restricted movement :shake:

[Joe T]

Aww Ant! Thats not good! Hope it continues to improve!

[King_Boru]

What am I doing now,...

I'm sat on the couch at 04:47 on Sunday morning not being able to sleep watching the cat clean herself browsing the TP forums at stupid hour talking to myself.

What am I doing later on today, photographing a 2 year olds birthday. No doubt I will be red eye jedi and look as if I have been smoking the herb all night,... (which of course I havnt as I would die due to being a silly asthmatic)

King.

EDIT: Now I am eating a big bowl of Cornflakes with a pint of cold cold cold orange juice. Yummy yummy yummy for my tummy tummy tummy. Think I'll pop to the shop at 6, grab the paper and a Cooooooooornettooooooo icecream.

[mij]

Having spent all afternoon in the sun yesterday I am staying in today so traffic does not confuse me with a stop light.

Michael.

[digitalfailure]

I pulled my fireplace apart and gave the insides a damn good polishing.

usual cruddy bank holiday weather here :(

Still........the beers have been flowing for a couple of hours now :thumbs:

[Grendel]

Still........the beers have been flowing for a couple of hours now :thumbs:

All is not lost then ;) :beer:

Spent most of the day processing some of my backlog of photos. Also sorted and submitted my comp entry for this month :)

[cjnicolai]

Is it OK if I complain about not having a bank holiday this weekend? In Denver?

(Although I'll confess to going to two rock shows and partying until all hours anyway. ;))

Sounds like you had a better weekend than most of us anyway :lol:

I ventured out of the house today to....... Tesco :lol: Dave had to drive me and I hobbled round like a little old lady. That was enough excitement for one day!

If it makes you feel any better, the NIGHTS were fun but the DAYS, frankly, sucked. LOL. I've spent many fun hours this weekend painting the exterior of my house. What a joy. 4,000 square feet of nastiness.

[HIMUPNORTH]

Well Bank holiday Monday was fun for me - not!

First up we came into our shop this morning to a leaky sink which knocked out our water boiler, coffee machine, ice maker and toilets until a plumber arrived at 11.15. Two hours of giving free coffee from a crappy pour-over machine and apologising for lack of Lattes! The coffeeholics were mad!

Then the fridge in the kitchen gave up. Switch hat from plumber to electrician. Found a faulty switch so swapped hat back to that of apologetic waiter.

Got called to my greengrocer shop where a Polish numpty in the flat above had done something to their washing machine and water was pouring into our store via a light fitting. Lovely!

Get back to deli and the police are one the phone. What!? my alcohol licence was not updated in March. I told them I thought it was but my files were in Inverness, 12 miles away. Left chaos in shop to drive to my office to find I was right and the police were wrong (must have been a quiet day for them).

However it ended better. Wife made a Lasagne which the kids loved (must have been with extra hemp as the kids are really chilled tonight). William Fevre Merlot beside me and as I type this out things are looking a little better.

Tomorrow is another day..........

[theMusicMan]

Well, I had intended to go to either Skomer Island or to Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust - but neither materialised. Instead I laid 30 sq m of wooden flooring on Saturday, Sunday was spent relaxing and taking pics of puppies, and yesterday we had friends over for a nice evening meal.

The wife and sister in law are starting my sons bedroom today as he starts college in a week or so and wants to 'start afresh' with decor et al now that he is no longer a school pupil. Kids eh!

[Chillimonster]

I finally finished the decking, pulling a bicep in the process :( )

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1268/1241187731_e43b809212.jpg

Just got to get the garden levelled and re-sown, then all done.

Managed to eat outside this weekend, which was nice.

[minimeeze]

Oooh - looks nice Chillimonster :thumbs:
