Did you know that August 1 is Raspberry Cream Pie Day? I didn’t. Nor did I know that it’s Rounds Resounding Day, World Wide Web Day, Girlfriends Day, Bake A Pie Day (perhaps a raspberry cream pie), Yorkshire Day, Play Ball Day and International Childfree Day. Google says it is so, but who knew?
August 1 also marks Lammas Day and Lughnasa, two old-time festivals marking the start of the harvest season. In the northern hemisphere, obviously. Here in the southern hemisphere August 1 is recognised as the horses’ birthday.
And as for August, well this is ROMANCE AWARENESS MONTH, folks. I love that this coincides with the conferences of both the Romance Writers of New Zealand (August 12-14) and Romance Writers of Australia (August 19-21.)
To celebrate some of this special-August-ness, we bring you a choice of jigsaw puzzles courtesy of Jigzone. Enjoy.
