  • Spring has sprung ...

    The almond and cherry trees are in full blossom.

    The countryside is full of wild flowers, gorse, brassicae, yellow sorrel and, today, the first wild chrysanthemum.

    The yellow and white jasmines are in flower.

    The birds are making an unholy din twittering their territory.

    The lizards are out, sunning themselves

    The butterflies are flutterbying.

    The grass is green.

    The weeds are growing like gangbusters.

    The citrus fruits are gorgeous.

    We lunch on the patio.

    It is ~20°C.

    What more can we ask for?

    Right now it is snowing here...
    (but small snowflakes, last night it were those big huge snowflakes)

    But it melts away as soon as it hits the ground...

        OooooH! If only I could send you and all your colleagues (and bosses!) to the job centre!

        Well said, DG!

              It's unseasonably warm and dry here. Not good for later on as the rivers already look low.
