Smart, spring cut, I think we can all agree. Sorry that I am a bit behind with posting these... I feel a bit behind myself in general. Spring has been so slow to start here - one might say, elusive to non-existent. There have been bursts of brightness on occasions, and when the sun has appeared, there is some real warmth with it (breaking into double figures, just). The snow, graupel, sleet, gales, a prodigious amount of rain, and, incredibly, on Sunday, there was the most incredible thunder and lightning. Not something one expects in temperatures hovering around freezing. This little article was informative.
So, spring is a bit behind, too. The daffodils out in the backyard barely got their yellow glowing before the big storms hit at the start of the month. Very poor showing.
Anyhoo - that's all for today. Soon the week will be behind me, and I'll be wondering yet again what I have to show for it. Although I did have a big spring clean in the kitchen last week and this week have been learning some new knitting technique. Not entirely unproductive...
Thank you for the Nobby update. Hasn't he matured! 50 miles is a prodigious distance.
ReplyDeleteHello Yam. This post was spring-like for me. So full of warmth and sprinkled with humour. Nod to Nobby:)
ReplyDeleteWe, too, have had unseasonal storms and rains in these parts. On top of all the other storms!
Wantint to run 500 miles is quite an ambition!
ReplyDeleteBravo to Nobby and Dru on the fundraiser! It's lovely to see the grand little fellow again. I miss following his adventures with Gail. Her loss still brings tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteoh how wonderful to hear from nobby... he looks terrierfic and he became a super athlete ;O)
ReplyDeleteAh, spring cleanup….I can feel inklings in the air. I shall no doubt shortly be pressed into action. Happens every year!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for doing a walk that supports pancreatic cancer! You are looking great, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying all the Nobby updates over on the book of faces. We have snippets of Spring here...but it has mostly gone straight to summer!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThank you Yam, for the Nobby update.
Nobby is looking great, walking for a good cause.
Take care, have a great day!
It's good to hear Nobby is doing so well and he and Dru did a great job raising funds for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Nobby, Kudos. Great post.
ReplyDelete500 Meilen, das ist eine lange Strecke für einen kleinen Hund.
ReplyDeleteIch dachte immer, in Schottland ist das Wetter etwas milder als hier in Deutschland. Aber du belehrst mich eines besseren. Eigentlich ist das Wetter hier recht frühlingshaft. Leichter Regen oder Wind, aber auch viel Sonne. In den letzten Tagen gibt es den Tee nachmittags im Garten.
Frohe Ostern wünscht dir Anette
Hi Yam - thanks for the Nobby update ... poor Dru - six days in bed is a looooong time ... But fund raising is so worth the effort - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHello Nobby I'm so happy YAM aunty posted this news and I commend you and Dru for the run to raise money for Pancreatic cancer....I actually love your new spring 'do'! Hugs to you, Dru and Stephen

The weather was very windy here too, very unpleasant, the sun was scorching and the icy wind blew suddenly, not good for working in the garden.
