What are your plans for Easter or what did/are you doing for the Easter weekend? I had to work on Thursday so didn't get home till early hours on Good Friday morning, then took a load out last night (still Good Friday) and arrived back home late this afternoon but have tomorrow off, then start again on Monday lunch as I have a truck load to be in Sydney in the early hours on Tuesday morning.
So, not much of an Easter break for us at all and my partner is working most of the weekend too but she will finish around 2.00 pm tomorrow (Sunday), so at least that is something. We plan to go out for our meal tomorrow night and the local Club has a special Easter dinner. We did have Good Friday lunch together yesterday and my partner made curried prawns.
Not much I can do about it, as when freight has to be moved, then truck drivers have to drive. Take the work while it is around ..... unless the drought breaks soon there probably won't be as much work next year.

Easter is just about equal to Christmas as far as celebration goes. There were religious processions in the street every evening last week with the exception of Saturday. We went to Laguna Apollo (pronounced apoyo) Saturday before Easter. It is a beautiful lake nestled in the crater of an inactive volcano. It is an absolutely beautiful blue color. I got a little sunburned around my hairline where I failed to get the sunblock lotion. So on Easter Sunday I stayed out of the sun to keep from making my sunburn worse.

Sounds like an interesting place to be .... that blue colour is unusual in this part of the world. Take care of that sunburn, which I never did as a child and now live to regret it.

Yes bunnybon, Easter is not too far away now. We actually noticed that the Easter eggs started appearing in the shops early in January and in fact included in one of the deliveries I made to one of the supermarkets immediately after Christmas was a pallet load of Easter Eggs!
It was a bit funny in some ways because the first week in January some of the shops had Christmas things marked down considerably and on another shelt in the next aisle were the Easter Eggs. We actually bought some boxes of chocolates which were about 20% pre-Christmas price and put them away for Easter.
