I’ve just received an email telling me that it’s National Shortbread Day.
I had no idea such a thing existed, especially so close to both Hogmanay and Burns Night.
What next – National Black Bun Day?

I’ve still got an out a third of a tin left over from Hogmanay, but at the same it’s exactly the mix of fat and carbs I’m staying clear of at the moment. It’s a dilemma, I can tell you.

As I am sure you know, here in Sweden we celebrate Cinnamon Bun Day!

Ridiculous maybe, But I always sorry for those poor souls who have clearly missed out on the possibility tp enjoy some sweet, perfectly shaped Swedish buns.
That droopy, hangdog expression they have! I can spot it a mile off!

On the whole, I’d rather have a cinnamon bun than shortbread…
Having said that, when I’ve done my shopping today, I was planning a trip to a coffee shop – I can see a piece of shortbread featuring…I wonder if the shop staff realise the significance of the day?
However, you’d have thought the Shortbread Marketing Board would have picked a different month – spread the joy out across the year, as it were…

A date to pencil into your new 2024 calendars: April 13th is National Diarrhea Day.
Right in the middle of National IBS Awareness month.

Well, I never! Any events? Must be big in Bristol…

It runs all week.
fitterstoke says
Number 2 in the Chart!

If April 30th isn’t National Constipation Day, someone in the marketing team needs to consider their position.

I’m sure they’re absolutely backed up during April but could probably manage it, at a push.

“Sweet, perfectly shaped Swedish buns” eliciting no response. Was it Moose’s day off as well?

Not just shortbread.
