I set up two April Fools for other people to fire off: one for use in the village concerns a proposed planning application for a ski lift up Limber Hill from the heart of the village to the bus stop on the by-pass.
I left copies of it with Veronica (in her capacity as Clerk to the Parish Council) to pass on to those members most susceptible to being wound up.
The other, which may or may not have happened (probably not), arose from a conversation with John on reception at the museum. We were discussing the generally well-crafted but artistically dull paintings in a recent art exhibition, which led to a discussion of modern art, which inevitably led to heaps of bricks and unmade beds . . . you can see where this is going . . . and I suggested that he leave a wastebin unemptied and put in in the middle of the foyer with a label couched in meaninglessly pretentious terms describing it as a work of art and social comment. My guess is that my plan ended there. It is now school holidays and I wasn't at work, though we do have an all day meeting tomorrow.
