Because I was born in April and because it was questionable as to whether I'd survive my first day. When I did, my Aunt Lorna suggested April to signify "a new beginning." Had all gone as originally planned, I may have been called Jennifer or Heather.Lynne. Because my Aunt Lynne would babysit my brother. Apparently that was no small favour.Robinson.

It makes my cursor go a little wonky, and the nav takes a bit of getting used to, but it's original, and serene, and very lovely to look at.

It seems only fitting to bring up Mr. Toast while I'm on the topic of toast already.
