I didn't have my glasses on.... 
We used to call May 1st Day of Workers or Labourers. And ONLY them had the day off. We, the desk ‘occupiers’, had to go to our jobs.
Enjoy – I know we do ! Sleeping in. Reading in bed, having a brunch. HH will do the taxes, maybe a walk along the lake….

Wow, that reminds me: growing up with large parades for the “proletariat” on May 1st, red carnations, GDR & Soviet flags, praising our leaders… yikes! Thanks for bringing back those “interesting” memories 😉

Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
And through the blue heavens above us
The very clouds move on.”

Happy May Day. This reminded me of the tradition of leaving a small bouquet of flowers on someone’s doorstep, ringing the bell and running away.
