May Day

It is May! Wow, isn't this year just flying by? It hardly seems that long ago when I was in Canada at Christmas. To celebrate this new month, we have a lovely and welcome bank holiday- so no work on Monday. Even better was that I worked from home today, so it is almost like I have a four day weekend. Bliss! Shouldn't all weekends be three or four days? It would be a better balance like that I feel, as two days just isn't long enough. Having said that, my new job is still a novelty so I don't mind it too much, as it's different every day. It is having driving-free days that I appreciate the most about weekends.

VH and I haven't organised ourselves well, as we have no plans to go away this weekend. I wish I was seeing some friends or family (perhaps we'll pay my sister a visit???). We do have a few things to do though, as there is a French market all weekend in the local park. I am not sure exactly what this market involves but being French I am imagining it is most likely food (I would bet £10 on there being cheese). I love German markets at Christmas, they sell all sorts of unique things, and I am hoping that this market has things other than food. Talking of food, I am going to make a 'Dorset apple cake' too, I haven't baked for a few weeks since I started my job, and thought I'd give it a go as I have most of the ingredients here already.

Veggie Hubby and I may also escape this small town and look for somewhere else to live that is a bit more lively, and closer to work. We have somewhere to live in mind, so want to check it out, and there happens be a few shops there too. I look for a 'Godmother' dress whilst I am there - well I needed a special dress when I got married, so I feel that I need a special dress for becoming a godmother too... (any excuse).
