What are you doing over this bank holiday?

I live in Edinburgh, it’s “mild” 🤷‍♀️😂 actually not taken my hoody off today but im always baltic so makes sense. I love the heat tho so I was hoping for warmer!

Insomniacbychoice90@reddit

Sweating my tits off working Nights, bank holidays don't exist for anyone on nights or shift patterns, at least it should be cooler

[-]

Queasy_Culture3897@reddit

Working nights... Sleeping through the day as well as I can in this heat

Sea-Ad-527@reddit

I’m at Legoland for my son’s birthday present and it’s like being in the firey pits of hell, but paying for the privilege.

[-]

death-in-tipton@reddit

Any wasps? Last time I went there were more wasps than people.

[-]

Sea-Ad-527@reddit

Surprisingly didn’t spot a single one! They did have a lot of honey traps about though so maybe they’ve learnt from previous years.

GuybrushFunkwood@reddit

Sorting the wife’s horses out and creosoting the stables while she’s at her friends villa in France for a big 40th birthday weekend bash… I can’t help but feel a little short changed …

[-]

martyrees76@reddit

Do not, I repeat do not get that the wrong way round.

[-]

LegolasleChat@reddit

This is the kind of reply my wife wishes I'd write, but she is still waiting for a horse.

iloovehugecock@reddit

This is the most middle class reply here by far, I think you’re doing ok.

[-]

spartan0746@reddit

The username feels trustfundy, I approve on all counts.

[-]

fursty_ferret@reddit

I'm working. I hope you all get sunburn and your sausages slip through the grill into the ash of your BBQs.

Not bitter at all.

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

If it makes you feel any better my face is more red than a tomato 🍅

[-]

Crab_Jealous@reddit

I'm off to the pub to cry....least I can get a bit cooler with a pint.

[-]

C_G_L_Reddit@reddit

Good idea mate!! Pints always help to make things better

[-]

Beertown1@reddit

Ditto, I feel your pain, was on last night, on again tonight and tomorrow night. My BH starts Tuesday 😜

[-]

Doing bugger all but for good reason, literally sent the deposit for our house to the solicitors on Friday, have basically no money now until payday. We're first time buyers, is a strange feeling spending everything you've saved for 10 years.

[-]

nobodyimportant87@reddit

Sat alone in my living room trying not to listen to my neighbours yelling and screaming at their kids just trying to stay cool. I hate my life. No plans, no friends, socially anxious and autistic.

[-]

cdh79@reddit

Working.

Double time or sit in traffic with everyone else? Hmm 🤔

[-]

PokerFriend247@reddit

Alcohol creating the affect you desire.
Hope the Bears 🐻 treat you well and don’t take advantage of you. 👀
Enjoy

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

Apparently I am unable to spell 😂

PokerFriend247@reddit

It was just right … Goldilocks. 😊

exkingzog@reddit

Alternatively, if they are real rather than metaphorical bears, I hope they don’t eat OP.

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

Me too! 😳👀

[-]

NecroVelcro@reddit

Let the bears pay the bear tax!

[-]

ofthenorth@reddit

Pretty dangerous sitting in a bears garden. Will just stick to my own

[-]

Tw994@reddit

Chilling in the garden with a bbq 😋

[-]

silobass@reddit

This for me. Popped to the garden centre this early afternoon, it was quieter than I expected but picked up a couple of bits for the bbq and got some more charcoal that was on special. Chilling outside in the shade and footy this afternoon followed by a bbq later.

I’m a simple man with simple pleasures.

[-]

MarlaSaysSlide@reddit

Yup, same here. My husband has been working in the garage all day and I've been tackling the garden, now we're sat in the sun with a beer and a barbecue

[-]

PopperDilly@reddit

Working :(

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

Ahhh, I'm sorry 😞

[-]

Rohobok@reddit

Bear garden? Aye you sure you're not Russian?

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

You never know 👀

[-]

sneakycheeseplease@reddit

Just finished a shift at work, went tesco and acquired train cans, got dropped at spoons to sip some cheap cold lager in the air con while waiting for said train. Train to nottz in couple hours, mates gig, more beers, all in all a quality first bank holiday that Ive been single in 14 years.

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

Sounds like a great night incoming. I hope you have a ball!

[-]

mackerel_slapper@reddit

A bear garden? Are their paws big enough to hold pints? Walked the dog early, done a load of washing, mowed lawn, tipped water over dog, had to move inside now. Wife and her sister gone to Rhodes, it’s hotter here.

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

You should see them... they're huge!

[-]

MyDadsGlassesCase@reddit

Faceplanted the ground yesterday after tripping on some roadworks crossing the road and broke my elbow and rib. Now sitting in the house with a carry out getting pished.

In summary, the same as most other bank holidays

[-]

Icy_Knowledge5004@reddit (OP)

Oh no that's awful! 🫣 Take it easy

[-]

Orlando22tn@reddit

Watching Arsenal drinking Beer & bbq

[-]

Soggy_Detective_4737@reddit

I spent yesterday with my grandson, making Lego characters and buildings, drawing, crafting, playing some board games, and watching Minions.

Today, I played some card grants with him and his mum, we went on a bit of a road trip, had the kids over for a BBQ - they're outside playing board games and I'm having a sprawl in my room.

Tomorrow, moving some bits about for a new carpet this week, and eating leftovers.

[-]

PsychologicalDish430@reddit

Gardening, Good food, negroni then good wine, weather making me yearn to get back to Europe 😭.

[-]

DollySheep32@reddit

Basking harder than a basking shark

[-]

LegolasleChat@reddit

Had every intention to do DIY, but instead went for a 6km walk this morning with a coffee and cake halfway, then have been sat in the garden reading since with a couple of beers. What a gorgeous day.

[-]

Distinct-Lion4658@reddit

Trying to survive the heat by staying inside with the blinds shut

[-]

box_twenty_two@reddit

Yep, 25w pregnant, already CBA with this heat, so I’m sat in the dark watching Rivals with an n/a spritz. Then cinema to see Obsession tonight when it’s no longer sweltering

[-]

Distinct-Lion4658@reddit

That sounds like a tough ordeal!

I actually saw Obsession on Friday myself and loved it, I've never considered seeing a movie twice at the cinema before but I'm seriously considering going again

[-]

LegolasleChat@reddit

That's how I felt watching Mortal Kombat 2.

[-]

box_twenty_two@reddit

Oooh this is a really good review! Looking forward to it! And all the excuses in the world to pile on the ice cream as well, dream

[-]

Revolutionary_West56@reddit

This is my exact weekend too! Without the pregnant part.

[-]

box_twenty_two@reddit

Haha all the fun but without the swollen feet! Enjoy x

[-]

Filthy_Oily_Fanny@reddit

Here’s me in Bangkok itching to come back for the cooler weather.

[-]

Yes this is me, curtains drawn and Hunger Games movie marathon ongoing

Stayed at home and had one while watching Peak Practice.

Just reminded me of the scene from The Office.

Did you have a scotch egg as well?

I did

SleaterK7111@reddit

I took the rugs out into the yard to use the carpet cleaner on them, then realised the twat wasn't working halfway through. Cup of tea then screwdrivers out 👷‍♀️

[-]

MrsTrellis_N_Wales@reddit

Oh god thank you so much for the reminder that i need to clean the hall rug as well!

[-]

SleaterK7111@reddit

Make sure the carpet cleaner is working properly before you get cracking!

[-]

MrsTrellis_N_Wales@reddit

Good tip, thank you!!

Desperate-Cookie3373@reddit

Went to the seaside yesterday with old friends and had loads of fun on the rollercoasters etc but today am supposed to be marking undergraduate essays. Or I would be if my employer’s online teaching system hadn’t crashed completely, so I’m going to have a nap instead…

Working nights. Cheers..

Looking after my post-op cat who is extremely miserable and wearing the cone of shame.

[-]

WildWanderingRedHead@reddit

awww give her a pat from me! So nice that you stayed home for them.

[-]

WildWanderingRedHead@reddit

Unfortunately I'm inside, studying for exams next week. I have regular breaks in which I drink tea, wander around the house and flick through reddit. Its all good though, not every bank holiday can be a party!

[-]

37728291827227616148@reddit

Got a shitty paddling pool off Amazon and a crate of beers

[-]

a3minutehero@reddit

Going to Legoland with Sean Connery, then a lovely pub lunch in the centre of Windsor.

[-]

pixelunicorns@reddit

Did a lot of work in the garden mostly, but didn't apply sunscreen frequently enough and now my back is all red and sore. So now I'm hiding inside and drinking water, watching TV until the football starts.

[-]

thomaskitty@reddit

Sitting in my back garden getting burnt making gin cocktails.
I used to hate being in the sun now im loving it.

[-]

Latte-Addict@reddit

Did a Bus tour with Rabbies from York to Whitby (£50). Good day out but Whitby was crawling with tourists, as expected. £13.50 for fish & chips seemed to be the cheapest we could find although the chippy did boast the fish was caught & cut that same day. Going over the moors was great... Would love to do that on my own one day (walking).

[-]

CarlMacko@reddit

Working and because I don’t live in the part of the UK that the news classes as “the uk” the weather is pretty normal.

[-]

VardaElentari86@reddit

Yeh, it's just 'nice' in Edinburgh. Pretty cloudy though.

[-]

VardaElentari86@reddit

A bear garden sounds dangerous.

Making fun of your typo aside, just been out and about, loads of walking. Now need to do some gardening once I summon the energy to move...

[-]

mbridge2610@reddit

Going to the beach Monday because that’s what the wife and kids like. I can’t fucking stand the beach but hey ho

[-]

random_username_96@reddit

Had our first BBQ of the year yesterday! Gonna do a bit of sunbathing and gardening today and tomorrow.

[-]

WALL-G@reddit

I'm currently wiring up some new lights, all the washing and big chores are complete so I'm knocking a few things off my to-do and hobbies list.

I'll likely head to the woods later when it's cooler and walk around in the shade and get as high as possible. Again.

[-]

Difficult-Egg-5001@reddit

Went over and spent some time with my family yesterday, had a picnic in the garden at my grandma's!

Today we've blitzed the house, had loads of chores we had been putting off.

Tomorrow, going for a swim either a beach or a swimming spot up on Dartmoor!

[-]

Temporary_Eye_9758@reddit

Suffering with some ridiculous cold I caught just before the heat wave.

[-]

Cinnyboo@reddit

Same here. I had gone out yesterday and paying the price today!!

[-]

Sparko_Marco@reddit

Same thing I do every Sunday, as little as possible other than take the kids to their swim lessons. I do have plans to tackle the garden tomorrow on my day off and get the grass cut and deweed the patio but Sunday is a can't be arsed doing much day.

[-]

Qyro@reddit

Spending all 3 days in a recording studio

Enjoying every minute. This is as good as gets without going aboard.

[-]

ctlou2345@reddit

I have been sick all week, and now i’m on a course of antibiotics for 10 days, so sat at home watching Netflix instead of going to a bbq like I was supposed to😭

[-]

LegoCaltrops@reddit

Lying in bed surrounded by packs of co-codamol & anti-emetics. Damned migraine.

My vacuum cleaner just broke before the in-laws come round to house sit for us. Literally the worst possible moment.

I just painted the garden fence and now I think I have heat stroke. I’m trying gin as medicine 👍🏼

Chilling in the garden with my veggies and chickens and reddit of course. My boyfriend is inside playing a video game 😒

Checked out a local festival yday, swimming in a lake today and tomorrow. BBQ fired up now but hiding in a fishing bivvy for shade . We did all our productive stuff yday morning while it was cooler so we could just chill in the heat

[-]

Percypocket@reddit

Recovering from a hangover from my best friend's wedding yesterday and hiding inside with the curtains closed

[-]

general_adm_aladdeen@reddit

Sweating my balls off my dude. Other than that, washing all my sheets and blankets getting ready for another mf*ing, face melting summer in London.

Note to self: get a hat you fat bastard! It might save you from sunburnes and keep you cool.

[-]

Crab_Jealous@reddit

Working all of it. Totally sucks but the air-conditioning is so gooooooooood.

[-]

TumbleweedNo2551@reddit

Tip, garden centre, gardening, making bread to accompany my mussels later. Then switching from one football match to another to see who gets relegated from the PL.

[-]

Hafnic@reddit

In my craft room in front of a few fans, building a Lego Panda, whilst half watching ER.

[-]

TemporaryLove2@reddit

Going for a boozy brunch and then making my way to the Emirates stadium to celebrate the occasion. What a glorious day for it!

[-]

ginbandit@reddit

Sorting the house today, BBQ tonight and then going to a national trust place tomorrow. Got the paddling pool out for the kids. I will be drinking this evening.

[-]

[-]

Too hot to do nothing much so I’m indoors with windows and curtains closed. I plan to binge the sopranos this afternoon as I never saw it at the time. I’m just bout to start S3 and m thoroughly enjoying it.

[-]

shortcross@reddit

Two days in the garden with a few ciders/cocktails/wines & beach tomorrow. I’ve waited all year for this. Still had my heated blanket on every night up until this week so I’m basking like a lizard for as much of the weekend as possible!

[-]

CherrySkylin@reddit

Honestly just trying to spend as much time outside as possible before the weather remembers it's supposed to be miserable again.

[-]

Aphr0dite19@reddit

The same as every day. Caring for my disabled son, chores, might go for a walk. Watch TV. Or if the current weather keeps up, lay on the sofa and pant like a dog!

[-]

h00dman@reddit

I lost out on yesterday as I had a headache and was in bed all day.

This morning I've had a deep tissue massage and bought a few new shirts at the charity shop (lost weight last year, updating the wardrobe), so I'll be taking it easy with a bit of light gardening this afternoon.

Tomorrow I'm spending the day with my niece and riding the miniature railway 🚂🚃🚃🚃
