Easter Eve

Good Friday ahoy then! I've always loved the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, but I imagine I must have blogged about that in a previous year, so I'll leave it there and avoid the risk of boring you with repetition.

It's been a bit windy, hasn't it? Very annoying, when we had some new "Welcome" banners printed this year to be proudly displayed on our intake days, only to see them ripped from their holders this morning when we put them out for a test run. These are the trials and tribulations that torment us.

I'm aware that my posts this week have been a bit grumpy, and I wanted today to be more optimistic and fun, but I do have to get one thing off my chest before I fill your day with sunshine and frivolity - WHY ARE EASTER EGGS SO EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR??? I mean, I can answer my own question - it's because retail companies are money-grabbing, holiday-hijacking, family-abusing, profit-obsessed, opportunity-grabbing bastards who would charge their own grandmother for her insulin if it improved their bottom line, but even so... The prices this year seem a bit extreme. And there are a lot more 'luxury' eggs about, costing three times as much as the regular ones, and placed on the same shelf as the others, so that your child gets drawn to them when you take them in to 'let them choose their own treat'.
Grrrr...

Anyway - on to the positivity! It is nearly the end of March, which means we are heading full-bore into my favourite time of year. Flowers will be blooming, trees will be thickening, birds will be doing their noisy bird things, and the whole countryside will be developing its Spring plumage and generally filling me with lovely thoughts and happy feelings. Let's go!!!
