Happy Mayday

Happy Mayday whether you are dancing around maypoles, marching against the government or just enjoying a day off.
The day dawned gloomy here so we will have to see how it goes.
One old English saying (i.e. one most old English people have never heard of):
"Nut for the slut; plum for the glum
Bramble if she ramble; gorse for the whores."
Preferably leave hawthorn at a friend’s door for their luck, but other plants are an insult. I suggest you leave the gorse at home. I also assume btw that "gorse" rhymed with "whores" - terribly confusing for those who like horse-riding I should imagine.
