The long Holy Monday

Today is Holy Monday, which means there is less than a week until Easter, it's the Holy Week as we called it when I was a good little Catholic boy then easily impressed by such things. That was a long time ago. I blogged about it in details here. I don't miss much from my Catholic past, but I do miss the fact that then Holy Monday was a thing to be excited about, something to make us stay patient until Easter. Now, Holy Monday is one looong working Monday until the bank holiday to come. Even if it is a four days week, it feels longer. That is my experience of it anyway, since I started working in the private sector. Let's hope this one goes a bit faster.
