For the last few days we have had beautiful, warm sunshine. Yesterday, I was able to cut my grass for the second time this year. This morning the birds are singing, daffodils are gently swaying in the breeze and a multitude of brightly coloured crocus are smiling cheerfully from the flower beds.
Welcome to the spring, the most uplifting season, with its promise of longer, warmer days, holidays and the enjoyment of nature's beauty.

How poetic, Oldspice.
-
It is a beautiful day here today.
-
yes, we had it nice here too. maybe this is an indication we'll actually be getting a summer this year too!
-
I do hope so.
-
it would certainly make a nice change!
-
Lovely words Oldspice! Yes, spring is here and I'm starting to appreciate my new home at last. I have an aversion to wearing coats and have now put them away until October. I'd rather freeze!
-
Another beautiful day here today. Yesterday, we went for a stroll around Stamford, a beautiful town a few miles up the A1. I took my coat off - and we saw a butterfly!
-
Cold, windy and a spit in the wind today here.
-
I've just found a daisy growing on my lawn!
-
Today is very cold and very windy. You southerners don't know you're born. Get yourselves up here and experience real weather.
-
Well, it's only a month ago since we had eight inches of snow on the ground!

My lawn has had flowering daisies for a few weeks now and the daffodils have finished. Na na ni na na!
-
another glorious day on the south coast! just drive up the sea front and there were actually people frolicking in the sea.

Don't come crying to me when you are all sunburnt and me and pham are still walking around in the cold with big coats on.
-
It's bright and sunny now but there's a very cold breeze and we had a lot of rain this morning.
How's it been up north?
-
Grim.
-
Aww. I hope you get some sunshine soon.
-
It's always Grim up North.

Blowing a gale here tonight.

Nah, as you know I come crying to you when I want snow.

She wouldn't. She's a honey.

Time for a lovely springtime poem:
I can see the field from here
The trees are all in bloom
That plane is getting closer
I hope it's got enough room
What's all that screaming?
Oh my god! BOOM!
Lovely...
-
LMAO, good one that, mind if I print it out?
-
Go for it, I don't mind.
-
I've just copied it into a Easter card. Will the recipient be impressed?
-
You betcha!
-
Lovely sunny day here.
-
Hailstones here at 3am then blowing a gale and lashing down when i went to work at 8.30. Now it is very drizzly and there's been no sun today.
-
Terrible, terrible weather today. Hail, rain, wind, rain, hail, wind, rain.... It absolutely killed the London march but I think we made a point.
-
Move to somewhere near the Equator then. I hear it's hot there!
-
It's been a lovely sunny day here today but a little chilly.
-
It's a lovely bight evening here. I saw a huge bee on my way home!
-
There are loads of bees in Bristol and they're massive. I like bees.
-
well, today is a scorcher! come on, summer - i'm ready!
as for bees, i chased a huge one out of my bedroom over the weekend. i don;t midn them but they send the gf into a flapping mess of screaming and flailing.

Which I might add is all the wrong things to do, noises attract them, flailing arms attract them... if she stood still, didn't make a sound, they would lose intrest very quickly.
-
i try telling her that - it just makes her scream all the louder.

Crule to be kind. If it happens again, leave the room and let her get on with it. My ex was the same until I made her deal with it. Problem now solved.
-
it'll probably take multiple stings, but she'll learn.

If she is your ex, I can see how the problem is now solved.

So can I. I once had a boyfriend who thought he could cure my arachnophobia by throwing a large spider at me. He was so wrong......

Pity he wasn't phobic about huge buckets of green slime. You could have returned the favour.

No, she is my ex for a different reason and she is the guilty party.

Definately not the way to go about dealing with a phobia, leaving someone to "Deal" with a situation is best, forcing someone in to the situation is not.
If you read up on the facts about spiders, you will soon see how the few that are dangerous live in other parts of the world and what lives in our homes and garages and sheds are the good guys.
To splat them because your scared is IMHO utter ignorance.
-
We all know that spiders in this country are (mostly) harmless and actually do a lot of good. Unfortunately logic doesn't come into it when I see one running across the floor (it's the way they move). I would never squash one though - I adopt the glass and card technique and put them outside, as far as possible from my house as I'm convinced they have a homing instinct!
-
I try to catch them to put them outside, but they run away from my hand! They're more scared of me!
-
oh well, here comes the rain. i suppose we were lucky to get a couple of sunny days out of it.
-
I need rain for my carnivorous plant!
-
feed me, seymour!
-
Yes, Pete does seem to be getting bigger! No fly is out of reach now!

I adopt the hoover technique, one suck and up it goes to live amongst the dust.
