I have been doing a historical show in Odiham.
I had talked about weapons and armour and explained armour evolution about a hundred times, fought a few times and juggled dozens of kids all wanted to try on armour and hit each other with various weapons.
Fun but tiring

I'm doing lots of gardening, lots of spinning and running, lots of watching football. Little bit of plan A when the football is on.

Hope they all fit in the back of the Rangerover, or I'll have to make two trips and thus double the chance of blowing even more money on flowers

TFA, and have a good one yourself
Actually doing something this weekend....
Today - just got home after a tulip drive as every bugger has decided to go away for the weekend. This evening of up to Frankfurt to see The Dictators NYC
Rest of the weekend - the Schlossgrabenfest here in town which started yesterday. Possibly the biggest inner city, open air, free music festival in Europe now with an expected 500,000 people. Started last night and goes on until Monday
In between - our local football team, SV Darmstadt 98 were in the 3rd division the year before last, this year they're in the 2nd division and in 2nd place and the final game is on Sunday and a win would assure them of promotion into the 1st, a feat that rarely occurs. A loss would put them in the play-offs so on Sunday afternoon, weather permitting it will be Biergarten time
Monday - Pfingsten and Memorial Day (as I also work in America)

TFA!
Long weekend in Dublin with the in-laws, they're good fun so looking forward to it. Tempered slightly by the M-I-L being in hospital for observation, will have to try to sneak her in a vodka and white.

Tonight taking the in laws to the airport, they are off for 3rd or 4th holiday of the year!
Tomorrow am helping a mate remove a tree at a friends house.
Tomorrow PM - removing my trees and lots of soil kids will of course get in the way making it a family thing.
Sunday - cabling & plumbing indoors
Monday - SFA (if I'm allowed) with family fire up the BBQ!

Saturday will be a bit of gardening depending on the weather.
Sunday/Monday is the annual golf weekend away, this year up near Aberdeen. 32 of us going this year so it's a good chance to network over a few late night malts.

When I made the original post I had planned a relaxing weekend doing sweet FA with the kids, maybe a trip out somewhere if the weather is nice, pictures one day.
Now it turns out I need to get ready for starting a gig in the arse end of nowhere on Tuesday!
