On Saturday I am having a day playing toy soldiers - recreating the Battle of Poitiers, one of the great victories of our local hero The Black Prince. Should be a lot of fun. Might have photos to show you all on Monday, if you will humour my nerdiness one more time.
I am off work tomorrow so that Carpet Fairy still gets a weekend of sorts. This will mean several hours of us on our own, while the kiddy-winks are at school, so I am wondering if she is making plans for visits to DIY stores, garden centres etc. We will see.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Well whether Carpet Fairy is planning shopping trips or not, I sure hope you are planning on some nice um, "couple" activities since you are without the kidlets ;)
I am jealous of your long weekend! Enjoy!
We definately want to see pictures!!! Don't forget!!
Have a nice fun long weekend...you deserve it!
P.S.-regarding your comment on my blog...you are my favorite person today!!! Thank you...
I'll bet you can find something better to do together than a trip to the DIY store! ;-)
DYI stores sounds like fun. Hope your weekend is grand.
I would love to see pics!!! I am completely fscinated by the recreation of war games and how it all works!!!
As for DIY...scrap it for something more fun!!! Its a long weeekend, for goodness sakes!!!
Hi John
Good luck for the battleday tomorrow. Sorry could not be there maybe next year.
James
so do get to dress up and play soldier too...or are you just reinacting the battle with toys?
I always thought it would be fun to see a reinactment...but then I can be a bit nerdy myself (and my minor was history...the first time I went to school)
looking forward to pictures!
Oh...Dont forget the pictures...
Have a great long weekend.
You've inspired me (with the last couple of posts) to have a hot bath and a glass of wine! With this smaller tub of ours, I've forgotten how much I love bath time. . . .I still want a bigger tub, but it sure sounded good when I read about it.
I heart DIY stores too! I go in for one thing and leave with the entire store!
Have a fantastic rest of the weekend.
army men come alive at night, you know this right?
I am sooo with Terri! Hope your weekend was fun!
Ali, Terri and Kenady - I don't know what you are talking about! Besides, after the night before...
Mindy - I love long weekends...
Logzie - Not sure I got any decent pictures, I will see. Glad my comment didn't offend you.
Chachi - I think you and my wife would get on really well!
Kiki - Not sure I have good pictures, but it was a great day out. We ended up taking the dog to a pet shop/garden centre which was very entertaining!
James - It was great fun - Arthur made a great opponent!
tz - I don't dress up any more - I am purely a toy soldier gamer these days. I DID dress up as a Viking when I was a teenager but gave up when I nearly had my left had crushed by a guy with a 2 handed axe. The weapons were blunt steel, no padding or anything!
Sitting in Silence - I will post some pics if they are any good. A great weekend was had!
Jen - Glad to inspire!
Jahooni - That is why I store them in boxes, so they can't get out!
