What's in the mix to get your non Wednesday fix

[mkowl]

So what sporting, cultural or artistic events are you attending over the next few weeks - or are you being forced to do all the DIY projects successfully put to one side for months.

It is only 13 weeks for those counting and the football will not really stop with the Euros etc. 

It is good to have a break from the stress of following Wednesday but after a few weeks it's like what if it was like this all year. 

This is also a safe space, so if you are inflicted with oh FFS moments in your domestic life empathy can found. 

Enjoy the summer ☀️ all 3 days of it

If Geoff wants to know why you "get away with it" it's because somedays you are as funny as fuck. 

[Tylluan]

One of the busiest times of the year for me but any free weekends will probably be spent around Crich, Matlock, and surrounding areas. The lad loves his trams and steam trains and I like a traditional ice cream or three. 

[bradowl]

A few DIY jobs but mostly trips to coast (Skegness & Scarborough) to visit family, going to races with a few hours in pub thrown in. 

[Theman]

Some T20 blast games at the county ground or Trent Bridge, watching the lad play cricket 👍 

[M42Owl]

Cricket at Edgbaston, my nearest ground.

Grandson sitting. As the Mrs is due two weeks of jury service, I’ll probably include two weeks of train journeys to nowhere in particular just to come back, because he likes trains.

Cruising to the Baltics. First summer holiday for years. Normally go in October when it’s cheaper and less kids.

[bradowl]

I forgot to mention a week in Majorca next month, Cala Bona. 

By coincidence England play there first two games whilst we are there. 😁

[Owling_Wolf]

The end of season we've just had must be what suddenly driving off of a cliff feels like!  Haven't looked beyond the next "must win" game for weeks. Have we all got tickets? How are we getting there? Oh, err... It's finished now?   🤪

Apart from a long booked Madeira holiday, I need to remember how to plan things now!  

[HarrySpeakup]

Me and the Mrs are 3 days into a 21 day visit to the US visiting

New York, Boston, Fort Wayne, Chicago, Washington, Baltimore (day trip), Philadelphia and back to New York

We don’t normally risk planning a May holiday due to the play-offs but by December I thought  we might be safe

I'd give Fort Wayne a miss, absolutely nothing worth seeing there 😉

[HarrySpeakup]

That’s what we’ve been told but we insisted 

[lyn_owl]

We're off to North Wales, beginning of June for 10 days. Then back home,to watch the Lympics and Euros.

[holmesfield_owl]

Euros, 15 night cruise around med, beers and tunes in sunshine around that, bit of sorting the garden out which I enjoy, excitement of transfer talk then signing someone completely different 🤣

[mkowl]

Well the first sojourn is to a gig tonight in Brum - Elbow at the Resorts Arena

Booked in the hotel and it's hosting a Laurel and Hardy convention

The 1867 Group are here telling everyone Chansiri has gotten the Club into another fine mess

Thanks for that second bit.  For a minute I thought you meant Richard and his family.  

[Andyben]

As little as humanly possible.

Big birthday in summer but going away mid-august to commiserate, sorry celebrate.

Few weekends away booked but other than that work work work

Going Donny Rovers tonight 

[Sheffieldblue]

11 days in Munich,  cologne and stuttgart.  A few days at home then back for another 4 games culminating in Super John Mcginn lifting the trophy in Berlin.  Back home for a few days then back to Germany for the pre season.  Probably better off staying over there for the whole 13 weeks 

[Chelters]

Off to Scotland to bag some Munros at the end of the month.

Cotswold Beer Festival in July.

Endless gardening if the bloody stuff keeps growing like it is at the moment. 

[Chelters]

Also I bet Reesh’s dogs (Liam, Bullen and Boywonder) get some right pelters when they shit on the carpet.

[HoylandOwl]

Many weekends with the kids, the odd trip away to the coast in that and MAYBE  a week with the family into Europe in late July.

I hear Leipzig is quite nice in July

[Supercockle]

Gardening and Glastonbury. That’s about it for me. Hopefully a couple of trips to art exhibitions. 

[owl71]

Bank holiday, went to Roman Legion exhibition at British Museum.  Currently helping a mate move some printing equipment as a favour.  Tonight going to see When Rivers Meet in Islington. Thursday flying to Spain for a week. After that Euros, cricket, whatever…pre season friendlies maybe.

[KrolMong]

I have an 18 month old to keep me occupied. But, outside of that, I’ll be out on the bicycle most weekends and a few weeknights.

The three of us are off to Gdańsk for the weekend in two weeks, and then off to a place called Łeba in late June for a week for a bit of a beach break.

I’ll also be at the Euros for a couple of games this summer too.

[Winco]

Eyeing up a few post offices (bit skint lately), probably a bit of indoor gardening to keep me busy.

[Andyben]

Morning Mel

Be cheaper to get yourself a 'Small boat', Rich.  If there's any still available.  😉

Don't forget to wear the Russ Abbot Tam o'Shanter & red wig though, or you'll get sent to Ruanda!

Which range(s) pal?  I did a round and a half of them back in the day. I wish I still could: loved it. 

I've decided to napalm my garden.

Saw them at the Greystones, (formerly the Highcliff), a couple of years back. Excellent.

Up near Ben Lawers, sort of in the middle. Have done quite a few of the hills around Loch Lomond but nothing north of Ben Nevis.

Know it well, Chelters. We used to stay in Killin between Xmas & New Year for Winter walking. That or Chrianlarich / Tyndrum.  

[EBRA]

Trips to Germany in a few weeks time!

Got a lovely memory from those. Laying on my back in the sun, resting after the Ben, before the Stob, whilst a pair of Ravens repeatedly stooped at me like dive bombers, just enjoying themselves.  As they 'pulled up' each time I could hear the wind through their pinions, like a kid blowing on a comb. Magic!

Today has been a fucking long Saturday. Been to Seaton and got a sunburn that makes Freddy Krueger look medium rare..raising a cold one to dirty L**ds getting royally toasted tomorrow.

[Malcolm Darling]

Spent the last two days in Krakow with the Mrs had a top time with some quality beers to boot

Back on Monday for some serious dog walking 

[Tewksbury]

Watching Eurovision with the family.

Trying to decide whether to spend 15p on a vote for some Finnish dude who lost his pants.

[TheExile]

standard formula  of a holiday abroad and thankfully a summer tournament to drown out the usual clamour for football news, England have such a great chance. It’s been refreshing to watch the playoffs stress free this year.
