Last week’s intro was rather hurried and I promised gen2 that I’d try and do a little better this week.

I wrote this during bank holiday Monday – May Day – whilst at work. In 1955, Pope Pius XII, apparently in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, on 1 May.

Leisure is increasingly hard to distinguish from work, with the prevalence of new technologies. We all appreciate the joy of AnswerBank when trying to complete crosswords, or just ‘chat’ – but the PC in the home also brings the office into the home. And it’s a problem compounded by that real curse of working life – the Blackberry.*

Long walks on the beach or in the hills, even watching a film, can all be disturbed by that blinking red light that creeps under your skin and into your brain – given its addictive nature, no wonder it’s called the crackberry by many.

The other traditional May holiday – at least in the UK, comes at the end of the month. This year, due to some royal event or other, it’s been moved into June with an additional day, too. And then the constituent parts of the UK seem to go their separate ways in terms of ‘national’ holidays: 12 July in Northern Ireland to march; 6 August in Scotland and 27 August elsewhere for the Summer bank holiday.

Summer seems a long way off as the rain continues to fall... ... now officially the wettest drought since records began.
