The Friday Five for April 1
Apr. 3rd, 2022 10:41 pmHere are this week's Friday Five at last.
1. how did april fool's day start? non-serious answers only.
I'm not quite sure of the meaning of this question, but if it means the origins of April Fools -
It's Loki's holiday, obviously. People liked listening to stories about him but also knew that his tricks shouldn't be something to copy every day, so they created one day of the year when tricks and Loki could be celebrated.
I'm not trying to be serious... but I could actually be right.
2. ever pranked anyone?
I may have tried to trick family members on April Fools once or twice when I was younger, but I dislike pranks with a passion so I wouldn't put anyone else through it either.
3. what's something foolish you've done lately?
A few months ago I bought some Chive and Basil seeds because I can't get chives at the supermarket here and I really like them, and basil is available but expensive and I thought I'd grow some. Yesterday, I went to the store to buy some soil and planted the seeds. The basil was easy because it just had to be planted in a planter. Chives supposedly need a smaller plant bed? I'm not sure what you call it in English. I thought I was being smart using a plastic egg container, but I forgot to make holes in the bottom, so the little cups filled up with water today when it rained. Such an idiot. Thankfully, I planted some in a regular planter as well, so those were saved. I really don't have a green thumb but I've grown chives and basil before - they should be pretty easy to grow. *crossing my fingers*
4. what's made you laugh this week?
I watched the Graham Norton Show this morning on Youtube.
5. what does april bring in your part of the world?
Cherry blossoms and a new school year. Strawberries are more accessible/cheaper as well. My son Julian has his birthday in April so he will probably ask for cake with strawberries.

In other news, our Easter picnic was cancelled today because it was raining when I woke up at 6 this morning, and the forecast said it would rain all day. Great. LOL We've postponed to next week.
I finished watching the Bold Type. It was quite an emotional season. I'm now rewatching Tiitans for Dick Greyson. That reminds me that recently, I've been getting a lot of pics of Brenton Thwaites in my Pinterest feed, some of which were from a movie called Office Uprising, which I'd not known about before. I had to watch it because the pics looked pretty cute. I found the whole movie on Youtube. It was hilarious!
Well, I guess I'm going to bed! Have a nice day everyone.
