Happy April, where is this year going?

What first of the month traditions do you have (if any)? At school we used to do the "pinch, punch, first of the month" with a symbolic pinch and punch as the words were spoken, followed by "No returns" and then you said "White Rabbits". I don't know why, I've always found rabbits a bit creepy, especially white ones.

I was going to make up some elaborate untruth, but all the ones I could think of were a bit serious.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend, I'm off to Wales later, sun is out, life's pretty good.

we had to say 'white rabbits' before anything else otherwise the penalty was 'a kick and a punch for the first of the month'....hope you have/had lovely day.

A rabbit goes into a bar on a Monday and asks for a cheese and leek toastie. He takes his meal over to a corner and begins nibbling. He enjoys his snack so much that on Tuesday the rabbit returns for another cheese and leek toastie and then again on Wednesday. On Thursday, feeling a little more adventurous the rabbit comes in and opts for a cheese and tomato toastie. The rabbit isn't seen for the next two days until, on Sunday, he crawls into the bar looking very pale and thin with gooey red eyes.

"What happened to you?" the barman asks, "You look terrible!"
"Oh it's been a horrible couple of days." The Rabbit moans. "I've been so unwell!"
"Oh no!" The barman says, concerned, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"Yes." The rabbit croaks feebly, "He says I've been mixing mi' toasties!"

Aha! Mixinmitoasties! Err, myxomatosis? Oh nevermind... *wanders off sullenly*

I can't think of anything!

I do love that song, though. I don't think Grace blinks at all.
