Hey UK JA community! What is everyone doing today on Bank Holiday Monday? It's been a while since the UK has had a sunny BH so I've been helping my parents out this weekend with gardening and chores.
Today I'm with my partner's parents making use of the sun again for a standard British BBQ. What is everyone else up to?
Created at . Page last updated at .
There is some sun but still too cold for my liking, so I'm just like a cat, finding the sunny spots indoors and settling there :D Might brave the garden for my afternoon coffee.
I have an exam on Wednesday so need to study for that (yet here I am, can't get away from JA) Also working on a video and will be streaming Lunar Lander Beyond at 8pm.
Made a coffee, opened the door... And sun went away and the wind picked up...
Oh you have sun!? We have had a downpour here since 2am and I just got a weather warning for thunderstorm until 9pm.
I was going to go to a food festival and see some artist open houses (I live near Brighton), but my friend is now just coming round for coffee and maybe crafting and/or board games. :)
It's a shame about the weather, but board games and crafts sound like a great alternative! What sort of crafts and board games do you enjoy?
I tend to play whichever board game someone brings, from exploding kittens to settlers of caftan or scythe. :)
Craft wise knitting and sewing are always a possibility and more recently I have been trying air dry clay. I am not very good but as the day job is in software I like making something tangible in the real world.
Funnily enough I've had this on my desk for the last week or so! 😄
If the weather holds out we're off to a model train ride with our little one and her cousins!
But we're looking likely to have thunderstorms so... who knows!
Its raining all day, so im playing video games and posting some bounties.
Dismantled a big shed all day yesterday and cut it all up so it will fit in the car. Booked 2 tickets to the tip today and the first load is now ready to go. Just waiting around for my time slot before coming back to load up all over again and repeat.
Managed to fit in a big food shop this morning also. It's a nice sunny day but adult responsibilities call lol.
im putting a shed up so fun times lol
Ha ha the total opposite of me!
Nice! We replaced our rotten one with a metal one a few weeks ago. I paid someone to install it though as I just wanted it done fast. They were supposed to take the old one as well but you know what people are like. "O we will come back and do that another day", and you know full well you will never hear from them ever again!
I take it it's a standard shed for storage like ours is and not a man cave like I think MURRRAAAAY Has that I can see is the background on his videos?
I'm doing a 9 hour shift at work
then to my house!
get them dollary doos in man. BH rates are awesome (if you get paid it)
I have an essay due in four days waaa so i have just been reading and reading away so i can start writing it by tomorrow heheh
then i have to beg random scholars for focus groups and interview transcripts so i can do my research project heheh
3 hours in Croydon IKEA… and now dunelm… send help!
Where is this sun?! It's been hideous here all day!
My partner and I have just been doing some house stuff. We've only been in for a week, so still unpacking boxes and figuring out where everything needs to go.
What have you got going on the BBQ? Anything rogue we should know about?
We didn't have any plans so my wife spent the day reading and I continued working on a warhammer chaos knight for my Death Guard army and played a little pokemon shiny gold.
😂
Bit late to the party but...
Busy one for me. Started Friday with afternoon beers. Saturday was half gaming and half Bathroom designing (going to get a new bathroom installed). Sunday was dinner and beers in the pub. Monday was quite day of gaming.
Games played where (XBox): Elder Scrolls Online, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Fallout 76, Sea of Thieves.
I've also been contemplating trying to sit back infront of my PC and get back to working on games...
