Not sure what Holiday weekend it is in UK or 'bank holiday' as y'all call it.
Google tells me May 1st & May 29th are the two occasions this year with May 1st being 'Early May bank holiday' & May 29th being the 'Late May or Spring bank holiday'.
We don't celebrate 'May Day' here in the US more or less because it was perceived as more of a Socialist / Commie celebration an quite frankly, un-American! LOL! And funny enough actually, as of just this Monday (May 1st), many angry radical Left leaning protesters have taken to throwing fits & demonstrations while professing the virtues of Socialism! LOL Who'da thunk that huh?.
And in contrast to the angry & irreverent, May 29th just happens to be what we celebrate as 'Memorial Day' in honor of all our fallen service men & women.
Although I see no bank holiday this weekend in the UK, here in the US it does happen to be Mothers Day on this coming Sunday!!!
And what a perfect day to celebrate things by buying a new guitar or amplifier & giving it to the wife for Mothers Day knowing it will be like giving her a bowling ball with your initials on it when she doesn't bowl ! Yes, I can see it now...
"Happy Mothers Day Lovey!" . ''I got you a present." . "Yes, it IS a new amplifier!" . "I figured the best present I could give to YOU, was ME being happy so, Happy Mothers Day sweetheart!" . "Now be a dear & plug that in behind the chair for me will ya Hon?" . "You are the best sweet-ums & boy you look great from this angle plugging that in for me like that too baby!"

Actually, I want both but cannot afford/justify that. It's bank holiday weekend with sales coming up, so I'll be out and about then should be writing up a New Something Day by Sunday/Monday.
