Spring has been significant for the last few years
Anyone still on Facebook knows how they love to throw up 'memories' from previous years, and sometimes they are interesting. Facebook reminded me today that it is 2 years since I was in Portugal on a romantic holiday. Last year I had just been made redundant (27 April) and was starting the long process of turning my life upside down. This year I have just finished the initial renovations of an elderly and slightly decrepit townhouse in Spain. (5 May)I started thinking about it. 3 years ago I was in an LDR which tried, around now, to become a conventional relationship and instead exploded fairly dramatically.
4 years ago I had just joined CS and was giddily enjoying a short-lived virtual relationship.
5 years ago, according to Facebook, life was fairly dull, although I had just published my second book so it probably didn't feel dull to me at the time.
6 years ago I was asking Facebook to remind me I had stored my winter tyres in the garden chest.
Does make me wonder what I will be doing next spring. Pushing up daisies (so back to the gardening theme) or having whole new and totally unanticipated adventures?
I'd never really noticed the spring link before, wonder if anyone else has a similar pattern in their lives.

Now you have Sun the whole year 'round. I hope you are not getting a wee bit weepy for your Scottish climes?
Don't
Which is what Scotland is rapidly becoming to me. I was very happy there but weirdly don't miss it all
Won't be posting pics until it is perfect (so, never!)
Then I remembered I'd have had to have shared something on FB for it to appear
Aircon? the cheap portable ones are noisy, can't be doing with that
overhead fan? bought one for bedroom, just have to get it fitted and hope
evaporating units? I'm told repeatedly they don't work
Misting fan may be the answer, looking into those
Right now a very pleasant 22 degrees in the shade, according to the street thermometer on the corner (I was just out walking the dog) Nice!
But then I'm mainly talking to family and the friends now scattered all over the world and they do want to know important stuff, like where I store my winter tyres.
