How to Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month?🧀😋🃏🎉

Every April

I don't know if it was the thought of "cheese pull" or my chance to buy another pack of Italian Brainrot cards to try and get a shark card that lured me back to 'Pie Face' to buy a Tandoori Chicken Toastie, a Cheese and Spinach empanada and a pack of cards on the way home from work yesterday, or not?

The Italian Brainrot cards I got yesterday

But boy, did I get my cheese quota for the month yesterday?!
When I paid at the 'Pie Face' counter I saw that I had been charged for two Cheese and Spinach empanadas when I had only asked for one.

And when I told the guy at the counter, he refunded the price of one back to my card and said I could have the other one for free, as he had already put two into the oven.

I didn't really want to eat all that when I got home, so I thought I would offer it to my son if he wanted it, but he had already left for work by the time I got home, so I ate it.

So, that was lunch and dinner for me.

And I did get a shark card in my pack, too:-)

These cards are probably cheesier than the toasties, but my favourite in this pack was the crocodile taxi driver.

I just hope I'm not getting hooked on collecting these cards and ending up an out-of-control collector like these guys pictured below;-)

How to Celebrate National Gardening Day During National Garden Month?🍋🏡

Every April 14th

I love the thought of being as self-sufficient as possible, but in this day and age, that's a bit of a dream.

Especially when you don't have a big backyard.

Every April

When I was a teenager, I used to buy 'Grass Roots' magazines from my local newsagent and dream of owning a small farm over the New South Wales border putting into practice what I had read, but that never happened.

Recently someone donated two 'Grass Roots' magazines to the Op Shop, and I bought them and had a read through them for old time's sake.

One was an August/September 2001 edition and the other was a February/March 2025 edition.

I remember thinking how good it would be to raise a family on a little farm like that and maybe even home school the children, but that might have turned out a disaster for them in hindsight:-)

It's given me a sense of nostalgia reading through these two magazines, but I'm going to pass them on to a street library to inspire somebody else to live the dream, while I have to be content with lemons from my backyard lemon tree, while I make future plans for re-landscaping my backyard and wait for my lime tree to start giving me fruit.

Raising chickens is definitely out with neighbours living so close by.

I would like to have a Sanity Saving Secret Garden once more, like I used to have before I ripped out all of my palm trees from my backyard in order to have my old crumbling fence and retaining wall rebuilt.

But I want to be surrounded by trees that are more bird and butterfly friendly this time round.

We all like to dream I guess, so maybe I could aim for growing the biggest lemons in the world?-)

But maybe I should build a rabbit proof fence first ... and hopefully by next St. Patrick's Day I'll have no more snakes in my backyard;-)

How to Celebrate National Scrabble Day in The Year of the Fire Horse? 🤔💭🔥🏇👻

Every April 13th

Scrabble is one of those games I can't stand to play, and rarely have played throughout my life, but obviously a lot of people do like playing it, like my old mate Remo.

Well, today is your day if you like playing this game.

Now if someone invented a game where Scrabble was combined with the Ouija Board, so you could play with dead relatives and friends, that might be interesting;-)

Ouija

Yes, No?-)

I wonder how the owners of the racehorse Ouija Board came up with that name?
Probably not through playing a game of Scrabble:-)
