Remember those four-day bank holiday weekends when you were young?
You’d have a lie-in, then do some shopping, maybe a matinee movie and pre-drinks with pals before going out to party.
Of course, a Covid bank holiday looks different. But we’re heading in the right direction.
I know January, February and March were awful, but I feel that April “May” be brighter for us all.
We’ve had to have that conversation with our suitcases and told them there will be no break this summer. So we’re now dealing with emotional baggage.
But I have promised Monica I’ll take her on a trip when things revert to normal. I bought a world map, gave her a dart and said: “Throw this and wherever it lands will be our next holiday destination.”

Turns out, we’re spending three years behind the fridge.
Arran, who is my producer at Greatest Hits Radio, signed off an email by saying he is desperate for a six-month holiday… twice a year. Nice working with you Arran!
I think a camping holiday in the countryside could be the way to go this summer.
But I have to say that I’m a little worried about my travel insurance for such a break. It turns out that if someone steals our tent during the night we’ll no longer be covered.
This will actually be the first summer holiday my family and I won’t be spending in the Maldives because of Covid. Usually, it’s just because we can’t afford it.
I once interviewed Arnold Schwarz-enegger, inset, and I asked him what his favourite holiday season was. He said: “Have to love Easter baby.”
Eggsactly what I was thinking!
No hassle in the Castle
Barnard Castle was put firmly on the map by Boris’ old mate Dominic Cummings and “Spectaclegate”.
Now we learn the villagers will soon have their own Covid vaccination plant.
It reminded me that as a teenager I worked in a chess piece factory for a while… but I couldn’t hack
the knight shift.
So I moved on to a helium balloon factory. I quit after two days
– I wasn’t going to be spoken to like that.
Third time lucky for me? Not exactly, as I was then fired from the M&Ms factory.
I still feel it was a bit harsh as I only threw away all the Ws.

Putting out some fires
Occasionally some lovely folk stop me in the street and say “Hi”, which is always heartwarming.
So this week I was really chuffed when a fire engine and its entire crew pulled over while I was out walking. They wanted to grab a socially distanced selfie.
I was worried as their equipment was all over the road, but they insisted on taking the group shot – it
was a case of bros before hose.
It reminded me of a friend whose wife asked if they could spice things up with role play – firefighter to the rescue.
Never again though. He was stuck up that tree dressed as a cat for hours.
