I don't see why they can't just combine Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter. A red rose for Lover. A pretty card for Mother. A hard boiled egg with a chocolate biscuit attached for Easter. All in a nice box. The giver can then cover Lover, Mother and Easter celebrant in 1 go. Much simpler

Things that have made you happy today 2026
One of my high school’s science teachers did an experiment, I know not what as I wasn’t in the room, which caused an explosion and set fire to his tie. As you say, those were the days.

If my chillies get a bit leggy I just plant them deeper when they are potted on. They root readily from any buried leaf nodes and I don't remember ever losing one from this method. I don't use grow lights or a heat pad so I won't be starting them till next month.
