Last day of April

May day tomorrow, when I was at school May day was celebrated with dancing round the Maypole. A group of girls from each class were chosen, extras in case someone was absent on the day.

It was also the day the heat went off in the classrooms, it was reduced in March, off at the end of April. Started again in September and back to full blast, if you could call it that, in October.

More recently may day has been a public holiday, usually referred to as Labour Day. So this coming Monday is a holiday as is the last Monday in May, spring bank holiday. When we lived in Scotland I used to get caught out, the holidays there were different.

I did not sleep well last night, DB had a coughing fit, he went off to sleep, I was wide awake till after 4am...... so a bit of a slow start this morning. However, sitting room cleaned, although I did not move the settee and chairs, they are too heavy, so will have to wait until my cleaner comes back. I also emptied and cleaned the Gtec, could not believe the state of the filter, its now nice and clean. Put out the kitchen waste bag and cleaned the bin, half filled with hot water, a squirt of bleach and a drop of Dettol. Scrubbed out and left outside to dry.

It was fine when we got up, DB went out to the garden, has just come in its raining again and we are forecast thunder and lightening later........hmmmmm.....

Its lazy night tonight, we are having two of the frozen dinners. I have some rhubarb, but no cream, will have to make some custard, if the custard powder is still ok, I have had it for yonks.
