Mayday and Cinco de Mayo


Now that I have just about fully recovered from a horrible bought of food poisoning and being frightened scared out of my mind that it was Swine flu I can finally get around to planning the next few weeks.
This weekend we are planning a car boot sale in Winchester. I have loads of stuff that I really need to get rid of and it's not gonna do much good to put it on Ebay or Amartab. They're just little things that would be easier sold at a CBS I think.
It's Mayday weekend so I am hoping the skies will be clear. Too far away to go to the beach so I will stay home and do a little Cinco de Mayo dinner with loads of good Mexican food.

Just a reminder Cinco de Mayo does not celebrate Mexico's Independence but actually the Battle of Puebla with the occupation of Mexico by the French and traitor Mexican armies. It also celebrates the last invasion of another continental foreign armies invasion of the Americas.

While greatly celebrated in the United States so that other people have a reason to get drunk Cinco de Mayo is hardly acknowledged outside Puebla, Mexico.
