According to the song, if I ruled the world every day would be the first day of spring.
Looking out of my window I’m not sure that would be a good thing. I’ve been looking forward to Spring, but I’d rather assumed it would feature flowers, blossom and warm weather. Currently, we are about four hours into Spring (which officially started at 10.28 am GMT) and the cold rain has only just stopped. I’m still waiting for the sun to break through, but I fear I may be waiting in vain.
The rest of the week looks equally miserable (and so do I).
For those of you reading in the Southern Hemisphere, congratulations on your Autumn Equinox, and apologies that the rest of it may make no sense. I suppose that somewhere down there you must have cold rain and cloudy skies, but I find it hard to imagine.
However, back at the opening sentence, if I ruled the world things would be different, even if if I couldn’t control the weather.
I won’t go into detail, because the sun has just emerged unexpectedly and I’m off out. Here are a few photos to put you in mind of Spring.
See you later. 🙂
Our blackthorn is only just coming into flower now. Could definitely do with some warmth though.
Yes, it’s taken a while to warm up. 🙂
Happy Spring to you and Julia! We should get flowering trees here within the next few weeks.
Glad to hear it, life always seems better with blossom. Ours are just getting into their stride. Today was nice and springlike. 🙂
There you are – you did change the weather
Yes, it seems that way. It won’t last…
Just a little hail here to welcome spring. I am glad about the trousers update.
🙂 So glad it’s officially Spring! 😉
The sun obviously knew you had complained about it. You should have said something earlier! 😉 Our sunshine appeared just before sunset – better late than never.
Yes, we had a nice sunset about the time I emerged from the doctor. Good colour but a bit small so I threw it back. 🙂
🙂 I hope there was good news from the doctor.
I’m ambivalent on that subject. Let’s just say it involves more visits, but I will at least be allowed to keep my trousers on. 🙂
What a relief! At least you can hear all the bad news with dignity.
Yes, it’s going to be a welcome change. 😉

My daughter informed me that the spring equinox started at 10:28 on the way home from school. I asked her why that time but I don’t think she heard me.
Anyway, I could pretty much have written the same about it hardly being spring-like this morning. I had been looking forward to walk in some crisp sunlight but that clearly didn’t happen. Still, the catfish hasn’t died after I cleaned out the aquarium.
It’s the time when the sun passes the celestial equator, though I don’t know who is there to time it. At least the catfish is happy.
Yes it is 😌
Anyway, thank you for elucidating!
🙂
Take a look at my blog post today. As I wrote to Derrick, you’ll be doing a happy dance of gratitude 😉
Yes, thank goodness we have no snow and nobody has dumped a dead lobster on my plate! 🙂
Would you rather have a live lobster dumped on your plate? 😉
Good point. 🙂
