Well its a public holiday tomorrow, not too sure which religious one but its also known as Fathers Day here and is therefore an excuse for men of all ages to get righteously ratted (Friday is taken off as a 'bridging day') I personally shall be going here:

at lunchtime where I shall proceed to drink lots of beer and then fall down the hill on the way back (to the pub.)

Have a jolly day working

Do you have children?

Is called 'Kristi Himmelfarts'. All my clients have invited me to their parties tonight: Danes start a celebration the night before you see, allows more drinking time I suppose.

Yep, but he'll be sitting at home but if required I could probably pick up a couple of Albanian orphans.

Thats the one, Ascension Day. We have another one coming up at the end of the month, Whit Monday (Pfingstmontag) and then June there's Corpus Christi. I shall also start drinking this early evening as I'll be leaving work early to beat the mad rush on the A81, A6 and A67.

Holiday here as as well darmstadt. And since everyone here will be taking the 'bridge' that'll be Friday off as well. It's nice to have a 4 day weekend once in a while...and May seems to be full of them.

Pfingstmontag=Pinkstermaandag in Dutch by the way.

Not surprised you're tired mate, what with all that posting. Don't worry though, you can put your feet up tomorrow cause it's a holiday.

Ascension Day

Since last year celebration of Ascension has been moved to the nearest Sunday so it no longer has the potential to be a mid-week holy day of obligation in the UK catholic church.

I just thought you might like to know that.
