UK Folks.

I think it's time for the term "Bank Holiday" was replaced with a more relevent and modern alternative term.

I want to start a petition to bring forward this change.

Will you help me by signing the petition so we can get this idea off the ground? 😊

Working today, public holidays throw out my routine too much so I don’t take them off. Have to finish a big train article for a client, then email loads of tourism authorities in Europe. Such fun.

What's everyone else doing? Day off work, or working?

They may look tired, but they are going to make a great banana cake. Been out bike riding today so I need some energy 😅🚴‍♀️🧁 #baking #publicholiday

Was checking whether a certain event was a public holiday in England - and wow they don't have many public holidays there.

I count just eight - and three of those are for nothing at all (four, if you include Boxing Day in that category).

Morning, everyone! It's a Wednesday/Friday in #SouthAfrica today, on account of the #HumanRightsDay public holiday tomorrow:

Some people will be taking Friday off as well, and making a long weekend out of it. I won't, though. Which means Friday will be a Friday/Monday for me! 😁

#PublicHoliday

In other news, in case you missed it, #Elections2024 will be held on 29 May in #SouthAfrica. I haven't heard -- although it's probably been confirmed by now -- but it's more than likely going to be a #PublicHoliday, same as every Election Day. :-)

Happy Second Day of #Christmas, everyone. As you wake up this morning, possibly with hair on your tongue and a construction crew working overtime on your head (hopefully not, but no judgement), may you continue to carry the joy, peace, love, and hope of yesterday in your hearts.

It's also the #DayOfGoodwill in #SouthAfrica; we don't call it #BoxingDay here, although I think we used to, pre-1994. Either way, it's still a #PublicHoliday, so if you're lucky enough to be taking it off, have a blessed one! ❤

Happy #DayOfReconciliation, South Africa!

Today, why not make the effort, and take the first step to reconcile with someone who's wrong you or whom you've wronged?

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, or who had the last word. Pick up the phone. Send that message. Make that call.

You can do it. I believe in you. I'm proud of you! ❤

So begins my last working week of 2023.

And it's a short week too, because our president declared Friday 15 December a public holiday to celebrate our #RWC2023 win.

Here's hoping it's not too hectic.

Have a wonderful Monday, everyone!

#Leave #Holidays #SouthAfrica #PublicHoliday

ICYMI, #SouthAfrica's president Cyril Ramaphosa spoke to the nation last night, and amongst other things, declared Friday 15 December 2023 as a #PublicHoliday.

Ostensibly it's to celebrate the Springbok's victory over New Zealand in the #RWC2023, and an anticipated South African victory in the #CWC2023 too. ;-)

The reason he's postponing it for so long is because he doesn't want to disrupt the Matric exams. Which is understandable, if you ask me.

But also, I think, it's because the 16th of December, which is a regular public holiday here, falls on a Saturday this year, and the unions have been grumbling that they basically miss out because there's no carry-over for Saturday public holidays (Sunday ones carry over to the following Monday, but Saturday ones do not).

Interesting day ahead.

Going for a morning walk, buy a coffee, then set up some IKEA furniture, send some emails, probably take some items to storage later. #CanadaDay #PublicHoliday #Monday
