For us heathens Easter still means a long weekend/holiday! :¬P
Unless you're self-employed, then it just means not working (so hard) so not getting paid :¬(
Can't complain about the Easter weather though!
Baking hot sun all day(week) - perhaps there is a god :¬P
...and of course Easter still means 'chocolate' whatever your (non)religious persuasion!

Aren't you 2 days early DL? As far as I knew, Easter was on Sunday! ;)
As far as I remember the term 'Easter' pb, would include Good Friday (to-day as it happens) as the start of this sorrowing and subsequently momentous event for Christians ... so Happy Holiday instead :¬D
The words ... 'School Governor' and 'Church of England' ... spring to mind :¬)[/i]
It's Lent until Friday (today), but then Good Friday is still part of the Lenten tradition. The Easter Triduum is Thursday until Sunday, then it's Easter. Eastertide then lasts for a while after that.
I know, it's just being picky and doesn't really mean anything to anyone not bothered about the Christian calendar anyway.

Well, I've had interesting day, all told.
1. Went to work for what I assumed was a 'home training' job. I packed my lesson sheets and everything else, and set off happily. As it turns out, the customers; an 85 year old couple, wanted to learn how to 'look at porn on the Internet'. I kid you not. So there I was, teaching an old woman how to look at porn, and then asking them to repeat what I told them 'without instruction' (which is how I teach). So, I stood there, watching an old woman search for porn, and sit there watching a hardcore video in front of my eyes. No joke.
2. So, I took the afternoon off, being Good Friday and all. Decided to go to a 'fun fair' I'd seen advertised, and since it was good weather I said why not. Well....this place was a deathtrap. The rides were actually, literally home made. For example, one of them was essentially a painted bucket, with a car tyre fixed underneath it. It was attached to a very badly soldered length of metal, like a kids attempt at a home-made rollercoaster. The ride attendent then started the ride by pulling what looked like two lawn mower engines tied together. And so the ride went - smoke coming out of it, hollering and screaming (the engine, not the riders), and almost coming off the tracks twice!
3. I said 'sod it' and went into town. Got harrassed by two people wanting me to part with £2 a month, before heading into the casino. There, my luck finally changed. Got free drinks, nice service, and ended up £100 richer.
Talk about "Good" friday!

I guess for the less religiously inclined, Easter is the "holiday" Friday-Monday ;).
More revision today, but to be broken up nicely by a take-away tonight. And the Playstation Network outage means that there's one less avenue of distraction open at the moment (opening a new one of me checking the updates to see whether Sony have actually said whats up with it yet, mind).

I love the fact that christians choose the dates of easter depending on the position of the moon. Sounds so paganistic :P
