Today ... all around the world - but particularly in western nations - April 1 is celebrated as April Fools' Day ... a day when people get up to all sorts of pranks by playing [usually] harmless tricks and/or practicals on friends, neighbours, teachers and so on.
Here in the UK, the custom is sometimes known as 'All Fools Day' because ... traditionally, the "foolishness" was supposed to end at midday - and anyone who attempted to carry on the nonsense beyond that time was called an 'April Fool'.
But the date has an added significance for ME ... in that it is the birthday of the sole surviving member of the older generation of my family ... my Aunt Jean (my Mum's sister) ... a sprightly nonagenarian who, having been born on April 1, 1918 - while the Great War was still raging in Europe (I think!) - is 93 years "young" today.
