Monday just seems to keep coming around... and today it blew in with warmth, and a kind of muggy feel, which normally I wouldn't like at all, but which made a nice change from the cold of winter today! also it had rained overnight (and dripped a bit today too), which was actually something we've needed for a few weeks! Doesn't feel right to say it after endless wet days (it felt like) over winter, but there you go! Today was a gloriously spring day, though...

I was out food saving again tonight, but because it was a yet again situation where the carer who'd stepped in was called away and couldn't do it, and I'd filled everyone I knew easily's freezers over the last week, I sent out a call for anyone on the village support group who might want food - and had half a dozen replies from people who said they'd be glad of a bit extra, including one guy who'd been living on food bank deliveries (via our village group) for ages. So I was very happy to be able to do something useful there too. It was dark by the time I got back, but the moon was full and it was a gorgeous night. *g*

Also, my current awkward work assignment is almost finished (last day tomorrow) and although I don't have anything else lined up yet (which is always very gulp when they leave it late to send), I'm very happy to be nearly done with this one!

Ours will be mild by international standards - always is - and has been dry for the last few drought-ridden years, but maybe we'll get some rain this year.

I remember how special it was when we used to get frost! Once we had a kind of snow, but it was really more hail. Still covered things white and was cold enough to stay for a bit, so that was exciting! I think we were further south than you are though... *g*

People do recall the last time it snowed here, I think it was the 70s and seven whole flakes fell on the hill? The newspaper headlined it for a solid week.

We don't get hail - and not severe even then - very often. Drizzly sleet is our coldest mostly, and as a dampener on the feelings is hard to beat :(
