Is it just us or was anyone else wondering if the March “special” occasion days would ever end?
We don’t want to be a party pooping killjoy, as that’s what we pay our MP for, but we are sensing an increase in these days and fear that the calendar will soon be left bereft of any “normal” days.
Obviously, we were as sad as everyone else to have missed out on the very special day scheduled for March 29th and have even revised our New Year’s Resolution of not mentioning the B word (see Resolutions Solutions) until……err whenever but, seriously, March was way too full of these days (even weeks) set aside for………. stuff!

Seriously, by the time all of this had hit us, we were thinking of looking for respite with some Special Occasion Day Ignorance Therapy or booking a Get Over National Awareness Days Session!

Madness in March.
Thankfully today is free from any such worries and we can move in to April and focus on the important stuff like National AL3 WTF Day on April 1.
STOP PRESS – we have just been informed that not only are our clocks wrong but that it may also be wise to obtain some flowers and chocolates from the Shell garage on our way back from our lunchtime session at
Must dash.
