So what am I celebrating this week?
Long weekend!
Yes, it's the Queen's Birthday weekend here (not actually the Queen's Birthday - we just celebrate it this weekend here. Next week Australia does. And Canada has another date they celebrate it) so 3-day weekend.
My best friend is down from Auckland and we're having dinner tonight. Really looking forward to seeing her. We've talked, but I haven't seen her since November.
What are you celebrating this week?
So does she have three birthdays? :P At least it's a holiday. Have fun with your friend.
ReplyDeleteHmm, what am I celebrating? Well, catching up on my reading? Yeah, that sounds good. Oh, and my childhood library. Visited it yesterday, and it expanded nicely since I last saw it, so that was nice.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your long weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. A long weekend is great!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have a queen in the U.S. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLong weekends are the best. Hope you had/have fun with your friend. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

Hmm...this reminds me of when I visited London many years ago and arrived on the day they were celebrating the Queen's birthday. My friends and I had no idea, so we missed the celebration/parade. What a missed opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your time with your friend! Sometimes I don't see my closest friends for years and we live within a 40 minute drive from each other. We text instead...
Yay for a 3-day weekend! But what's this about the Queen's birthday being on different days? The woman's been Queen for like 70 years. That's plenty of time to get a birthday right -- or at least a birth-week. Have a great dinner with your friend!!
