April Fools...
Sunday, 2. April 2006, 17:13:51
The weekend would be bright and sunny. After days of grey drizzle, we'd get a change. The snow was going, going, gone.
This was what the morning of the 1st of April promised. But then, it was the first of April. Normally very serious companies, desperately uptight about their corporate image, made ridiculous press relases. Normally reliable news organisations came out with the odd report that seemed plausible but somehow didn't ring true - nor was it. Presumably kids played silly jokes on their parents, parents played silly jokes on tehir children, and other people simply though the whole thing was silly and stayed at home doing something sensible. I don't know - watcher of humanity though I am, I am not actually busy surveying everyone.
This morning, April 2, it was snowing. It snowed a respectable amount, turning things white. Happy though that made me, it didn't seem to please the norwegians around.
Oh well, it melted during the day. And now the joke is on me. Welcome to another month.
