Just been told our daffodils are starting to stir, after telling my wife about an email from a friend in Liverpool whose crocuses are out....all in mid January.

But it shouldn't really be making me, or in fact anybody happy as it's yet another manifestation of climate change.

I dunno... surely it depends where you are in the country. I've often seen crocuses out in January, but then I used to be in Cornwall! Without meaning to start a hugely trolly climate change debate, I think its very easy to identify a concidental seasonal blip (e.g. a mild winter, or a couple of mild winters running) with a long term climate trend (global cooling/warming). To much of the prior does a lot of harm to communicating the significance of the latter: One freezing winter (last one?) and everyone is laughing about how climate change must be nonsense and a bit of global warming would go down nicely, thanks very much.

But I'll step off my soapbox a second...

I'm happy happy because my shiny new Kindle has arrived! *readyreadyready*

Aw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) it's making me smile too, sounds like a clari and not some nasty squawking object now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just been given an enormous bouquet of flowers by a 14 year old to say thanks for getting him through grade 5 theory when he thought he'd never pass!
He was very bashful about it but it made me happy!

Oh, that's sounding like a very noisy squawking object. It's being neglected somewhat until this clari certificate is over

From yesterday ... seeing my son get lots of praise from new teacher.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


To be honest .... we've come down a long way in playing standard from his last one (1st instrument is not piano) .... but I just happen to think this might work ....

Not sure at this stage she's doing anything I couldn't do with him ... but just NOT being Mum helps!!

The plumber has just left. I have heating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

He's back on Monday for an update on the diagnosis. Either it starts failing gradually (and is likely a dodgy thermostat), or we have it fail quickly (and is likely a leak somewhere, but no evidence of one that any of us can find).

Spending the evening roaring with laughter yesterday out at dinner with good company.

Seeing Plato eating well.

Some extremely corny jokes.

Oh no! My daffodils are still sitting in the hall waiting to be planted... I must do it soon as it was my idea that the whole road plants daffs in the grass verges. Won't look too good if there is a big empty verge outside my house in the spring.... !
