No joke this week. We were going to make a pun about herbs, or fish. But then we decided that this is neither the thyme nor the plaice.

And this weekend…
Saturday 12th, 12 noon to 1.30am Levenshulme Beer Festival. Klondyke Club. see www.manchesterbrewingcooperative.co.uk for details

Sat 12th May, 9am onwards Bicycle Village, Jackson’s Boat by River Mersey at end of Rifle Road, Sale, M33 2LX (accessible by bike or on foot from Chorlton Green or Hardy Lane).

Bicycle Village is a bike festival gathering together in one place independent bike shops, bike hire shops, cycling groups and organisations. Everyone who loves bikes or anyone who would like to know more about our two-wheeled friends are welcome to help us celebrate this wonderful human-powered machine. See www.bicyclevillage.the-bike-barn.co.uk

If you know of weekend events that are about “climate” (and that includes food growing, or cycling or whatever), then let us know and we can include them in future “Something for the Weekend”s…

And if you know any jokes of the high standard we’ve used so far, please submit ’em.
