Today sees the start of the August Bank Holiday holiday here in the UK – so I'm going to have a lovely long weekend with a few extra days off too.
What is a Bank Holiday? I have no idea – but all I know is that it means a long weekend and a shorter week. Hooorah!
I’m hoping to perhaps spend my short break trying to reacquaint myself with my narcoleptic writerly muse but I know I’ll take the wrong turn and meet up with my cooking/baking one instead! Yay!
Charlie and I will be back late next week so in the meantime please be happy and healthy and enjoy some chocolate, if not, a nice cup of tea.
Charlie says: I meet my napping muse.
We hope our friends across the pond stay safe and take extra extra special care.
Have a peaceful weekend, everyone!

Have a great long weekend! :)
That's somewhat like Labor Day Weekend in the US, which is next weekend--and my Blog BBQ event :) No one really knows what Labor Day is, except that it's a 4 day weekend to honor American laborers. Heaven knows we all need an extra day off now and then, right??
Aha, I'd never heard of a 'bank holiday weekend', until I moved to lil' ol' England. And 'Bank Holiday'? Seems to me, the banks have been taking a holiday from their responsibilities, for far too long...
Have a great long weekend, eh :)

You enjoy your long weekend! We'll get a little from the hurricane, but nothing compared to what the coast will experience. Definitely need to pray for those folks.
Charlie dear, tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie has the right idea. We spend a lot of time on the steps watching TV. Not sure why. Its comfy and has a great view of the TV.
Have a great long weekend. Happy nap, Charlie!
Have a great holiday, and Have a safe trip ! My mom is so jealous
xoxo
Enjoy your holiday, Jen! Make sure you get rest and have fun!
Awww - a narcoleptic muse - that's what mine is, too!!! And I love Charlie's napping muse and I don't mind when the baking muse hits me, either! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for your long wonderful comment on my "taking a risk" post. You are a treasure! Enjoy your bank holiday (and when you come back, tell us what kind of a holiday that is, anyway!)
The sight of that sweet tum-tum would make people fall down the stairs! You need a warning sign!!
Lovely one....enjoy your long weekend. Hurray for the banks. :)
Charlie .... enjoy long snoozes.
Charlie, love the way you are preparing for the long weekend with your legs up on the railing! Have a great weekend!
Enjoy the long weekend and short working days !
Have a lovely break, Old Kitty, you deserve it.
Take care, be safe, enjoy the long weekend, and be happy! We will be here when you get back.
We're Lisa and Roy, and the 6 Mouskateers of Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA.
Oh, how lovely, a mini-vacation! Enjoy whatever you do: writing, cooking, baking...sleeping, shopping...It doesn't matter. You're not at work, that's all that counts.
Big smooches to Charlie, we hope he enjoys some extra "mom" time!
Have a good long weekend!
Have a great bank holiday break. I hope you manage to get in some writing, baking and more besides in your extended weekend.:O)
Have a lovely time! Let's hope we get some decent weather!
Have a good weekend with lots of writing or more tastily lots of baking!! Mum went into M&S this morning and is stuffing herself with chocolate muffins. We are hoping that the sun will be out for the bank holiday.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Have a safe break Old Kitty and charlie!
Have a wonderful "bank holiday" and enjoy your time off.
:o)
Look at your stretching, napping muse Charlie!
I hope your muse isn't suffering narcolepsy. Perhaps a long siesta. Maybe if you write about a baker, it will be "research".
Enjoy your mysterious bank holiday!
Hope you have some great time off. And Charlie, we hope you have some good times too. Take care.
Hope you have some great time off. And Charlie, we hope you have some good times too. Take care.
Have a great few days and hope the weather is good.. Hugs GJ xx
Hope you tackle that muse. And I love Charlie. :)
Enjoy the long weekend, and I hope it stays dry. Our UK friends have done nothing but moan about the weather for the past week!
For me a bank holiday means an extra busy day at work - but you go ahead and enjoy your extra day off. Don't worry about me. Sniff.
I hope you and Charlie enjoy your holiday!!! We're missing you!
We think of banker holidays as those days when the banks and government iffices are clised for some obscure holiday.
Glad you have a long weekend.
Have fun.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Have a great weekend! As for a napping muse, I think it might be at work right now. ZZZZZ
Hope you are enjoying your Bank Holiday,whether it be cooking muse or writing muse who shows up!
cats know how to relax!
I like the way Charlie thinks.
(And sleeps, looks comfy).
Long weekend! I'm so jealous. My next long weekend will not be before November... this time around, Melbourne gets pretty 'sorry'- with 5 day weeks- week after week. LOL.
You doing well, Jenn? :)
Yay for Bank Holidays! It's Carnival time here in Notting Hill - yippee!
Yah! Have a nice long weekend:)
xxoo

Hope you had a great weekend!
great phrase - my narcoleptic writerly muse, Did you both meet up? Hope you enjoyed your long weekend:)
I hope your weekend was wonderful and relaxing and full of the muse. And that picture of Charlie is ADORABLE!!! :-)

YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!
Wish we were having a holiday! Except a bank holiday means no money! LOL
cant wait to find out which self you ran accross...
Hope it was good!
I hope you and Charlie are enjoying your time away! :)
Also, I thought I was already following you! Eep! (I don't usually go to blogs via Blogger dashboard. Maybe that's why it's taken me so long to realize.)
Jennifer,
I wasn't sure if my email would end up in your spam folder again--just wanted to let you know I finally mailed Max's book to you this afternoon. I hope Canada Post doesn't lose it on the way. LOL.

Hope your bank holiday weekend was good one. It gets very busy up here in Northumberland so we don't go anywhere!

I always wondered what bank holidays were.
I hope you had a great weekend.
