The Week Ender: Having a weekend.

Now that I given you a recommendation on a book to read over the weekend or made you ponder your time management, you may also just consider having a nice weekend with family and friends. That is exactly what I’ll be doing - it is firework & bonfire night or Guy Fawkes night in the UK - this guy tried to blow up parliament, he did not succeed, that is what is celebrated here. I’m often a bit fuzzy about it all, since Halloween gets mixed in with this - but I don’t really care either-way.

We have a family tradition, that we invite all our friends to join us for this evening every year. We learned that Christmas & New Year are often difficult times to meet with everyone, so we have chosen to meet on a “lesser” occasion during the year - and it works out great every year. So I will be spending my time with friends and family - I may only see once a year, and I’m looking forward to it.

What are you doing this weekend? Why not pick up the phone right now, and get some family and friends together and celebrate Guy Fawkes capture - I’m sure you can come up with a story why it might be important to you, even if you live in the US, Canada, Australia or India - it will be total BS, but who cares?

Even better is when you don’t need a reason, just get together and have a nice weekend, I know I will!

Have a nice one, Stefan.

   A few of my friends are celebrating birthdays this weekend so always a good reason to have a firework display followed by a few drinks. Never quite sure if we’re supposed to be celebrating them trying to blow up parliament or the fact they were captured. I’m sure Mr Fawkes would be aghast at all the health & safety and insurance problems people face nowadays to do minor versions of what he was attempting.

   Phil, I was thinking this afterwards, should we celebrate that they got him or that he tried to blow up parliament, but then I’m ashamed to say I decided to be PC.

   In a way I’m glad you rectified my mistake.

   Have a great weekend.

   Jason, you better get a rest than before January, so you ready to go.

   Stuart, what can I say - at least you know what you are celebrating. Does Cumbria Vision have a cellar - I noticed you been out of the office lately?

   I wish both of you a great weekend.

   Stefan
