April Fool, a terroist attack and plants planted

1 April 2013

April fool's day.  A lot of the Warwickshire county signs beside roads claim in is Shakespeare's County.  But a few years ago the local rag published a photo of workman effecting new signs which claimed that the county would be known as Telly-tubby County.  There were quite a few who were caught out by it.  In the Sunday Express writer Stuart Winter using his Birdman name claimed that great auk, thought to be extinct since the 18/19 century has in fact been breeding quietly on a small uninhabited island within the Artic Circle.  Not sure how many got caught out by that one.  I wonder what tricks have been pulled this year?  Ah yes ... of course ...

The Tory Terrorist Party have brought in a pile of news rules to keep the under dogs in their places, that is, on their knees.  If their knees become too sore then it's no use looking for help from the NHS seeing as that is being cut up and sold off too.  And today is just day one of the changes, more will follow later.  You do know that the bedroom tax is discriminatory don't you?  It only applies to people living in social housing and not people living in their own home or renting privately.  After this lot I really do hope that the British electorate come to their senses and get of the Tories for good!!! 

Jan has been busy today planting out some small plants we have bought; three clematis, six heather and five aubrietia and just one hydrangea - a blue one, not a yucky pink one!  Oh yes, she re-potted a jasmine too.  It should look pretty good later in the year.  We are also looking at sowing a load of wild flower seeds on the small area of lawn outside our flat.
