To get your weekend off to a start- a bad joke.

Q. Why did Dracula take cold medicine?

A. To stop his coffin.

And this weekend…

Sun 8, 10.30am Friends of Chorlton Meadows Event: Balsam Bash at Chorlton Ees car park – end of cobbled road off Brookburn Road, Chorlton. You may like to bring a packed lunch and you’ll also need to wear suitable footwear (boots or stout shoes) and dress for the weather. This event has been organised by the MV Warden Service but will be led by Dave Bishop (FoCM Chair). Call 0161 881 6276 for more details.

Well, there’s nothing much else that we know about. So 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.
