To inject a bit of humour - who can come up with the daftest 'special' day? Today is Sun Cream Day - not rubbing it in (boom! boom!)to all of you shivering in the remnants of the British Spring.
And, please, don't let this degenerate into a heated discussion about the rights and wrongs of 'special' days, or how bad it is when we don't get remembered on proper ones - just let's search out the weirdest ones each day.

It's certainly 'Biblical torrents of water coming from the Heavens' day here in Oxfordshire.I was out in it earlier,planting a shrub ( a Choisya Ternata, since you ask.)

But cheer up! For tomorrow is 'eat your own body weight of apple strudel day' a day that many of us look forward to ( I have the double cream all ready.)??

Today is let wind trash everything day. Oh joy

I will need a quadruple portion to get over today, and only clotted cream and icecream will do.

I'm in Oxfordshire too, Roses. And the rain truly is tipping it down. The wind has died down a bit though ww. Looking forward to tomorrow (might need double my weight in apple strudel to make up for today).
