MAY DAY & ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!

It is fascinating. The many and distinctly different origins of 'May Day'. Some say it comes from the Roman celebration of Flora, some from Beltrane and the reason for the Bank Holiday relates to the introduction for better working conditions.. and, of course, there is the famous May Day distress call signal.

It is due to be a 'perfect' May day today with sunshine and heavy rain coming in this evening. She is tempted to go to the garden but will not, my cage is not yet secure, the buses will be all up the creek and there is stuff to be done at home.

Paperwork.. We think that if you leave just two pieces lying loose that they make babies! How paper can multiply is just staggering, so today she is plugging in and switching on.. old man Shredder! He makes a nasty noise but does the trick!

She is now on top of her figures, everything has been checked and is logged, so there are a couple of piles that can be disposed of. our bedroom needs to be dusted and vacuumed, there is pile of books to go back tomorrow to our local Library and one that has to go back up to the main Central Library in Kensington on Horton Street, it is a book on Henry Kissinger, a man for whom she has little respect.

The period of forty five years ago is now 'history' that she lived through, the war in Angola, the Vietnam war, it's interesting to read more about it. She was in the Algarve, Portugal, working for Juliana's Discotheques at the Dona Filipa at Vale da Lobo, in 1970.

But that is all for another post.. for it is LapySang tea time.. before 08.30 is too early to be up on a holiday day! It's time for a cuddle in bed and amber nectar.. slurpy sips!

AND there is another person to wish greetings to.. Michele Jenner, our hostess with whom we stayed in Pewsey, has her birthday today.. "Happy birthday Michele.. we send you much love and a sunny day".

GeeGee Parrot.
