Easter Weekend

I suspect it will rain this Easter weekend. A shame. I often remember exceptionally sunny Easters. Even in my twenties a weekend at Easter could seem longer than the entire summer holiday from school or university.

But that's fine by me. This gives me an excuse to busy myself around the household. Maybe if I leave BBCRadio4 on I'll absorb the knowledge and well treated voices it plays out.

I gave up chocolate for Lent. You can imagine my joy at having it soon return to my diet this Sunday. This didn't stop me from turning to other sugared items. But it did help me to save money. Some people (like myself) buy chocolate as others could cigarettes.

Considering I have put on weight in the past year, the giving up of chocolate could serve me well. I've enjoyed my new found freedom without having the pressures of two jobs. One side of this is my active (and stress) levels have fallen. There are several garments in my walk-in wardrobe (spare bed-room) that no longer fit me. Buttons bulge. Shirts stretch. Although people have commented on how much better I'm looking with a fuller figure. One has to look on the brighter side.

But chocolate will be once again be in front of me. Perhaps I should borrow my parent's VHS copy (I still have a video player) of Chocolat. Or reread Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And binge the entire collection of chocolate I've been keeping in my cupboard for breakfast.

Make a real day of it.

I just hope you enjoy Easter as much as I think I will. I have films and reading and walks to catch up on. I'm even going to give Doctor Who another try. Because I remember the excitement I had during the Easter weekend, knowing that the TARDIS was to send us off on fun adventures with clueless aliens.

And one got the weekend off. This is unusual. Working in a cinema during holiday period whilst a large blockbuster film (The Fate of the Furious if you need to know) has been released generally means your weekend doesn't exist.

If I wasn't busy this evening I would go through The Passion of the Christ.

Or Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Whichever one I think will be more beneficial towards society.
