What to do on a wet bank holiday weekend?

The Bank Holiday weekend is in the balance - quiet or rowdy? Wet or dry? Whatever the weather I'm hoping of a relaxed weekend as I'm recovering from a small visitor. A stomach virus came to stay with me for a couple of days so I've been off work and have spent my time on the sofa catching up with the backlog of Lost videos in between dashing up stairs...slept through for 10 hours on Wednesday night from 7pm and was even too feverish to work a computer so it must have been serious. Made it back into work today but was warning people not to stand between me and the door.

On the rowdy front, there's a possible party in Hucknall for one of Sonia's friends from her MA course, but as we forgot to RSVP we'll need to ring to find out if it's OK to turn up. Plus we might pop into the Arboretum during Saturday afternoon for Audio Massage in the Park if the wet weather holds off.

On the quiet front, the wet weather might also scupper my plans to nip over to Norfolk to help my Dad paint his flat roof next week. In the mean time we've also got a few birthday presents to sort out, so it looks like a trip into town tomorrow. This should be interesting as NCT bus drivers are on strike. So, will town be quiet or rowdy? My money is on the queues for the car parks getting rowdy so we might get some exercise from the walk as I'll not be driving in and definitely will not be on a scab bus!

But we won't be able to walk far under the weight of our flak jackets and stab vests, clambering over the burnt out wrecks of stolen cars that litter the ring road as we try to get away from the millions of muggers who lie in wait around every corner...if you believe the national media's version of life in Nottingham.
