Long weekend plans...

[Churchill]

Depends. If you're one of those people, like AtW, who likes nothing better than tea and long walks in spring (Is it spring yet?) I'm sure it'll be fantastic

I hope we get snowed in!

Which OU course ?

Beat me to it.

Off to see the family. Only a short drive though.

Law. Specifically W100 Rules, Rights and Justice.

I got discussed a while back as there are a few people on here doing or recently completed OU courses.

Flying out to India for family holiday on Saturday - 40 degrees there at the moment - too hot!

Bring your rain coat, when I was leaving they were saying that the Monsoon might start within the next 3 weeks.

gf chef flies in Thurs afternoon

Thursday evening - nice meal somewhere followed by the overnight train Munich - Venice and a 8am water taxi along the Grand Canal to the hotel

Fri - Mon: Venice

Nice, very nice.

Amongst the wealth of things to see do try and see Titians assumption in Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Go when it's quiet if possible and try walking round the Basilica whilst looking at it as it was designed to be viewed from many angles. Also note the triple level of the painting ie earth, the virgin being assumed, heaven with god the father waiting. This is an extension of the technique used by Raphael in his Transfiguration.

Note:- Because of Mary's holiness she doesn't have to wait until judgement day to go to heaven instead is is assumed into heaven upon her death.

All those post and not single mention of chocolate!
I shall be traveling home tomorrow - via my parents to pick up Pogle Jr and see my folks, then its back up to Manchester

A mixture of visiting, Church, food, drink, shopping, sleep and extraordinary chocolate consumption awaits me there.

And I'm off the following week
And its our wedding anniversary on Tuesday
