My local Sainsbury’s in Balham already has easter eggs on display. Not just one or two but a whole section. It’s eggstraordinary!
Washington DC
So Allan and I have spent the Easter weekend in Washington DC doing the usual tourist sights and staying at the Hyatt. It’s been a lovely weekend and I’ve introduced him to the delights of A&F.
We’ve spent a few nights eating and playing and discovered Lizard Lounge last night which was excellent and made a change from the cowboy hell that was Remingtons.
Just dropped him at the airport and come back to Reston to check into the lovely newly refurbished Hyatt Regency. Work for the rest of the week and then heading back to London for Saturday morning.
It’s been really lovely. Lots of pics which I’ll sort out when I get back.

Battle to ‘nail Section 28’ starts in the House of Lords
The House of Lords is holding its first debate on the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales on Thursday, 3 April. Stonewall expect this debate to provide the first indication of the level of opposition to the repeal of this hateful clause in the House of Lords.
Stonewall still need as many people as possible to help them in their campaign to “” by signing the petition against Section 28, which they are going to present to the three main political party leaders.
The next stage of debate in the House of Lords will come around Easter time when repeal will be discussed more closely by the committee considering the Local Government Bill.

Halloween and Holidays
I’m off to a friends tonight for a combined Halloween and Bonfire party. So I nipped into tesco to get some chestnuts for roasting and some flowers as a thanks for the invite kind of thing then had to walk past Oliver Bonas and noticed some really cute decorations. Now I’ve never gone in for Halloween as a big event – I think it’s all a bit too American. This year though I am just inthe need of a good excuse to party I reckon. It may as well be Halloween.
I also discovered today that I have been amiss with taking holidays this year. I have 19 days left of the 25 I get. So essentially given that I can carry 5 over to next year for a sneaky before Easter break that leaves me with 14 to use before the end of the year. Even taking into account to get two full weeks off over Christmas I only need take a further 6 days that means I still have 8 to take – so a fortnight in the sun I think with sea, sand and a book!
No wonder I have been stressing of late – I need a holiday!
