Good Morning Weekenders 
It's Good Friday / a Bank Holiday here in the UK.
As a child that would mean no shops were open and I had to go to church on the afternoon. Neither happens now and as a result, the day no longer has that "Sunday" feel about it. However, one tradition that I've kept up is that it's definitely one of the days where I eat fish so I'll be having fish and chips at lunch time!
I hope everyone has a peaceful Friday

Congratulations on a year, kensie!
Sorry to hear that, Manta. Sounds really rough. At least you can have fancy coffee.
Not much planned this weekend - we are not religious, so Easter is pretty much just another day. When the kids were still around we practiced the consumer side of it with Easter baskets and dying of eggs, but no church. My youngest, who lives in New Jersey, has started going to church -- so I'll wish her a happy Easter. The plan this weekend for me is hiking, lunch with friends, some cleaning, more trip planning. Man friend wants to do a little shopping. That's it! Love my sober weekends.

Easter is a fitting time to quit, whatever your religion. Getting free of having to booze everyday is a kind of resurrection.

If my mum were alive she would have been 100 years old on Good Friday.
She used to cook that weird, but tasty cod (?) in simmering milk. It was orange on one side. I liked it.
I quit smoking yesterday, Dee. Good Friday.
Day 2 today.
