Barbara Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 ^ Tomorrow is a holiday here and in quite a few other countries like France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland etc. It's what we call the Ascension (as in the Ascension of Jesus). I found a link on wikipedia but the English page doesn't mention any of this, probably because from what I've read on the French and Dutch pages, it doesn't seem to be celebrated in the UK or the USA. Some countries will celebrate it on Sunday. Many people don't have to go to school or work on Friday (me being one of them) so my weekend just started, which makes it a long weekend! I'm also happy because the ice cream man just came!
Zetti Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 I only buy Ben & Jerry's if it is on offer... then scoff the lot while trying to keep Dad away from it ! Haha Nah my brother only got it because it keeps me from stealing the tv remote cos I tend to sit at laptop and eating it
