...Happy Birthday to Nik for last Wednesday, no more teasing me about being thirty now! Thank you for a very pleasant, throttle free day :)

Today it seems, is All Fools Day, also known as April Fools Day. Originally something to do with the change to the Gregorian Calendar and those who then 'forgot' and did not celebrate New Year on the correct day, I believe. There are no doubt many other reasons behind it.

There are many famous hoaxes - These are supposedly the Top 100 However, none of my mother's feature in that list and she deserves the number one spot.

My mother's top three:
#1 - Putting a note in my empty lunchbox at primary school that said 'April Fool'. There was no lunch...just the note. She had in fact paid for a school dinner but I was too shy to ask the scary dinner lady so I just cried and remained convinced that I would starve all day :)
#2 - Sewing up the arms and legs on Dan's Pj's when he was camping.
#3 - Putting women's underwear in Dad's briefcase for work.

There were many, many more over the years, most of which we can remember with a smile :) Thanks Mum.
