If there is something everyone loves is a holiday and when it makes us avoid the hustle of a Monday, even better.
I recently discovered that here in the UK when a special holiday is on a Sunday, as it was Labor´s day last weekend, it automatically passes to the next day of the week, therefore Monday.
This means people here have an extra day off to relax, which everyone is really thankful for. The post office is closed and so are many of the other services, main stores and restaurants close earlier or don't even open during that day, also the garbage collection is postponed, so you easily find the streets dirtier than usual.
Last Monday, 2nd of May, the temperatures have been rising, we can honestly say that Spring finally came to London, as the all week the sun has been shinning, the rain is over and we have 20 degrees outside.
With the sun showing up, there are now many activities being planned for the rest of the month, as photography exhibitions, the Buddha Birthday, the Latin American Comida Festival, the Primrose Hill Festival & Dog Show and even street meetings where you can get to know your own neighbours for the first time.
The parks have also been fully crowed, since people are now sunbathing and having picnincs, and to be honest there is nothing funnier than an english person completely red wearing a tank top while it is 17 degrees. Although is quite warm here, I constantly remind myself that it is 31 degrees back in Lisbon and there were already people at the beach this week.
From a girl hoping for sun to stay,
