Daily Holidays - May 20

[Sherman A1]

Pick Strawberries Day There’s nothing quite like locally picked, seasonal fruit – and Pick Strawberries Day is a great excuse to experience one of the key highlights of the fruit calendar! Find your local ‘pick your own fruit’ business and take a basket or two – be sure to wash your strawberries and check that they’re safe to eat, and try not to eat them all at once! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pick-strawberries-day/

Endangered Species Day highlights the plight of many at-risk and critically endangered species of wild animals, and highlights ways in which we can alter our behaviour in small ways on a daily basis in order to help to protect and save these creatures. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/endangered-species-day/

Weights & Measures Day We celebrate this day by taking children’s measurements, weighing the cats and checking that the king size bed matches the country’s guidelines. We also hold a moment of silence for those measurements that have become obsolete, such as the chalder or chaldron, the clove and the scruple. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/weights-measures-day/

Pizza Party Day ‘Mmm, pizzaaaa!’ as Joey Tribbiani from ‘Friends’ might once have said, or was it Michelangelo from ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’? Anyway, there is clearly nothing more delicious than a large pizza with its doughy yet crisp base, and its choice variety of savoury toppings, tenderly amalgamated with molten cheese, onion and pepper. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pizza-party-day/

2. Strawberries, yum!

Mine aren't ripe yet and as soon as they turn red, the birds and chipmunks gobble them up!

3. I always have pizza on Friday.

No party, though.
