Holiday weekend starts here

Well, that's it for work today.

Here in the UK it's the start of the Easter weekend. Friday and Monday are days off work for the majority of office staff. On Sunday that very rare event occurs , where even superstores shut for a whole day!

We are meeting up with friends and seeing family but staying pretty much locally. I always feel that we should have booked a holiday somewhere more exotic, to take advantage of the two days leave we are given - we never do. There was a report on the BBC news today, highlighting the high prices involved with vacationing at this time of year, that eases my concerns. Go later, stay longer, pay less has been our method when visiting Corfu over the last few years and I can see the merits of sticking with it.
