My first thought was. Where are they going to put it. My instant second thought was, "Is it 1st April where Sylvia is". Must be early morning at least.

I wonder what interesting news items came up on our news this morning. Must go take a look. They generally manage to work out something a bit screwy to celebrate the day.
