Daft 'special' days

I don't think my slugs ever went to Capistrano in the first place. Why? Are my slugs deprived in some way? Did other slugs take their place? Or are they just home loving slugs who don't want to leave? If it's Biscuit Day I shall have to take part more in order to make up for my slug's lack of participation!

Don't worry grandMattie, they will all end up in my kitchen before long. I came down this morning to slug trails over the tea-towel .

Have a listen to this from the late great Tommy Cooper

They are coming from Capistrano, straight into my garden.
I have just provided a feast for them by planting out some bedding plants in pots and baskets!

You are all mad, and I love you xx

Where do they return to? Why did they leave in the first place? Why did they go to Capistrano? Where is Capistrano? This needs investigating. Not sure ICBA though, especially as today is Biscuit Day!

Thanks to Mr Google I have discovered that today is
Amateur Radio Military Appreciation Day
National Brisket Day
and the most peculiar.,,,
Slugs Return From Capistrano Day

I like the idea of children being able to get an extra half day's holiday - wonder what Nicky Morgan would say - her reply would probably make me have to down my Prosecco in one!
And it's definitely Looking Forward TO Wimbledon Day - can't wait (we need an excited icon)

I remember my mum teaching me that rhyme but she never said they got a holiday out of it! (She went to a church school, so maybe they didn't)

With Wimbledon fast approaching, it's Pimms for me please.
Did you know that it's World Menstrual Hygiene Day today . And tomorrow is Oak Apple Day, or Royal Oak Day if you prefer. When my mother was at school, if the whole class stood up at registration and said, "the 29th of May is Royal Oak Day, if you don't give us holiday, we'll all run away", the were allowed a half day holiday and went home at lunchtime. have a look at this

No worries, Roses. Mine's a bottle of Prosecco (maybe not a large one - oh go on, then, you twisted my arm!) What does everyone else want? I'm feeling generous.

The OP is! A large g&t for me please, no ice or lemon.?

Oh I didn't realise that. Right it's down the pub day. Whose buying the first round?

Today is Infidelity SPeaKS Awareness Day. Not sure what to say about that -and I cannot work out the weird capitalization of the letters . Any ideas? On a lighter note, it's Poppies Blooming All Over The Place day in my garden

We can all join in that one, Nina

Be nice to Nina day

ww it has to be something we can all join in ( is there room in the conservatory for a hundred or so Gnetters?)

Mine is sitting on my new sofa in the conservatory day?

Having just watched Would I Lie To You, my evening has turned into Laugh Your Flipping Head Off Day

Today is also "Cellophane Tape Day" so rush out and get yours before it all goes.

Yes jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, BUT CAKE TODAY

Yes, from ' Alice ' but it would be sad for GandTea if that were really the case.
I seem to remember ' World Corset Day' ( or was that a dream?)

Don't unbirthdays mean jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today?

??????????? Happy Un Birthday for tomorrow GandTea
And for you, drama here are ???

Ooh, cake - now I'm off topic - will I get told off?

But, but....... They ARE real days ( aren't they?)
