Anybody get April fooled? I thought maybe it was a joke when DH phoned to say I had to pick him up because he'd had a flat about 20k from here. But it wasn't a joke. He'd really had a flat on his way to H€ll. Still, it was a convenient one in terms of timing. I'd just got in from pruning the currant bushes and had not yet gone out again. I drove out and picked him up, making it back home just in time for coffee at the neighbors'.

When we got back from coffee, I washed the kitchen floor and made supper* while DH, unasked and unannounced, Spring cleaned all of our bikes. RubySlipperz lookes absolutely jewellike, and Big Red is pretty gleaming too, though (s)he badly needs a new saddle.

*cassava melon, tomato/fresh basil/marinated feta salad, mashed carrots-and-potatoes, and thick-sliced ham steamed on top of the c&p as they boiled. A menu I learned while on a low-fiber diet. Should work for the gluten-challenged too.
