We had rain forecast on Wednesday but it didn't fall at any point when I was outside or near a window.

I did not do anything super-special for May Day but someone defriended me on Facebook for posting squirrel sex.
Paul did make quiche for Beltane, after which we watched the second episode of Gentleman Jack, which is great though I wish it would press harder the contradiction between Lister's own sexual liberation and her servants' lack of agency, then What We Do in the Shadows, which is a bit uneven when its humor gets gross but is still funny.
