I've almost forgotten how much I hated April 1st when I was a school teacher. Kids of primary-school age delighted in the freedom that the April Fools' Day tradition gave them to be obnoxious. It was rare for them to play tricks on me; moving some things around on my desk or leaving something unpleasant on my chair might be as far as they would go, but some children became the butt of too much nastiness. The rule was always that April Fool's Day finished before lunch, no exceptions.
Nowadays, of course, as a happily retired senior citizen, nobody tries to play ricks on me ... and that's the way I like it.
We have nothing much planned for today; I've watered already and had a walk, so the rest of the day is mine to enjoy. I notice in my diary that I see the doctor tomorrow regarding my big toe and Daylight Saving ends on Sunday but there are no other plans until Probus next week.
As Marilyn would say, "All Good!"
