Living for the (extended) weekend
Four day weekends are the best! I’ve:
Had lunch and drinks
Watched the new Dr Who episode
Seen Red Riding Hood and Limitless (more on these later)
Had drinks again
Been to the zoo
Bought and eaten Easter chocolate
Finished 'The Latte Rebellion' and 'A Concise Chinese to English Dictionary for Lovers' (more on those later)
Not done any of those tasks that really needed doing, like clearing out my wardrobes *sigh*
Having four days off has also given me time to finish some reviews, although there are lots more that need doing.
I feel like I’ve lost my reviewing forward motion. The books pile up and the reviews don’t get done. As we go into summer it seems so important to be outside in the sunshine if I’m not at work, or out with friends and family and the evenings are fuller than in the winter, when I’m happily hibernating inside with my laptop (I do not like this thing called rain). I’m trying to work out new reviewing spaces that mean I can do it all. I think for now I’m going to try writing in my lunch hour (as clearly that whole exercise in my lunch hour thing isn’t coming off) and will see how that goes. I’m going to try not to stress about it, but try to and make keeping up with what everyone else is doing more of a priority.
So tell me Britishers, if you had four days off what did you do? Everyone else who just had a regular weekend off, what did you get up to? Are you getting a three day work week this week?
