Winter and spring that is. After a week of stunning winter, clear blue skies and good cold weather, I am reliably informed that winter is about to start ending by moving to that phase in which the sun does not shine, it snows/rains/hails and the nation's collective mood sinks a few degrees. Each journey beyond the front door is a slog through 15cm's of snow-like mud, or is that mud-like snow, gently defrosting dog-turds and a winter of re-emerging cigarette butts.
All of which is made worse by the forthcoming national domestic violence day, otherwise known as International Women's day.
Fortunately, as I rarely see the outside of my office most of this will pass me by and I have no intention of giving SWMBO cheap, tacky cellophane stuffed with flowers. The one benefit is that my secretary might actually pretend to do some work before next Wednesday so that I have a reason to give her a present.
And real spring, the green-ish one, is another 6 weeks away.
Good morning.
