First glimmers of spring...
Yesterday was the first day I could:
turn off the central heating during the day, wear my "new" (bought in January - it seems I might be an optimist after all)summer slingbacks for the first time even if just for a party. Ok this meant attacking my hobbity feet with something you might use on horses' teeth and mucking around with fake tan but so what .. I am so bored of my winter clothes. think of planting stuff out. I also assign really nice meals (Beef Wellington and Raspberry Roulade ... bliss) and good company.

I assign meeting old friends discovering you still can talk to them rightaway and more fluently than to other "newer" people you know. Also I assign meeting hedgehogs who live among the blocks; and last of all I assign good things you can't get out of your head.
I would assign Roger Waters, but not sure how they'd cope with him in the Shire... or maybe actually how he would cope with them. Although, looking at it, there are lots of other things which would also look strange in there...

Having time to take a nap and read a book... what a luxury.

Waking up by the gulls' cries.
Little birds jumping on the street. The mist that rose from the sea last evening and makes the whole world so beautiful and grey. The scent of early spring.

Normally I would not mind the gulls, but I have experienced the gulls of Helsinki and they are something special. . .not in a good way.
I guess their cries could still be nice, but they would just remind me how they tried to steal me and my familys food and kind of succeded. . .they are most cunning! |
