Because of the word "fan," this reminds me of the look on the face of the woman at the Oxford shop where I asked for "a fanny pack." I used that in Camelot & Vine.
Have you seen this? I'm beside myself. You can see me, I'm right there in the chair next to me. http://www.heritagedaily.com/2014/03/bouddicas-burial-discovered-at-kings-cross/102656
Hee hee, Petrea and Petrea. I wonder what the date is. The Guardian has a story about the holy grail this morning. Today is the one day of the year when the newspapers are worth reading.
I blame that despicable trickster Professor M. Maus. He's a sly one. I gotta admit, that was a really good story. I so wanted it to be true. The wheel-scythes (as historically accurate as horns on Viking helmets or indeed Boudicca's flaming red hair … oh, those Victorians) and M. Maus gave it away. A splendid day's entertainment on Facebook, however.
If someone as smart and savvy as you can be caught out it just proves how good a spoof it was, Petrea.
She's certainly displaying what she's got, Ms.M. There were some excellent April Fools' Day spoofs in the papers yesterday but none as convincing as the Boudicca story. I only wish I'd dreamed that one up myself.

Here's a good one.
It's not fair to have April fools in march.
Ah, but it was April over here already. You get your foolishness many hours after the rest of us.
The date was March 31.

I'm staying off of Facebook today. I'm too gullible.
Lavinia is "proud as a peacock", yes??
I saw the Holy Grail story, too. And almost forgot it was April Fool's Day!

That's very nice of you, Dive, but I'm so gullible I usually don't leave the house on April 1st. Now it looks like I'll have to stay in all week.
