Spank Holiday Weekend

I’d forgotten May is a two-Bank month, so I’m facing another full-on three-day Workfest involving visiting hordes of tourists and a multitude of early-season maintenance problems. Or maybe I’m projecting negatively and it’ll be a pain-free, easy-going Extended Weekend of Fun with grateful holidaymakers and zero hassle. Who knows?
At least the weather should be finally improving. 20 degrees Celsius by Sunday, which should be the least we expect at this time of year, but will feel almost Mediterranean after the long slog of Wintry shite we’ve been existing in for the past month or so.  
I am, of course, neglecting to talk about the BIG item on the agenda for the next few days, which is the imminent arrival of my sister. When I return from the caravan site tomorrow (which could be anytime from 6 to 11pm, depending on how things go) Sophie should be settled in nicely at our house and will be staying there until late on Monday. It’s a pain that I’m out for two of the three days, but she can have some quality Auntie/Nephew time with Mathew, and we’ll have all day Sunday for a good catch-up and chinwag.
She should arrive about 10am tomorrow, so I imagine she and Philippa will be on Bottle Of Wine Number Three long before I walk in the door.
