Pond fountain in full flow.

Patio doors wide open.

Dog on lawn licking his fundamentals. (Parts of which are missing thanks to the vet.)

My frogs are staring at each other incidentally. Frogspawn totally covered the filter last year and I had to turn the pump off whilst they hatched. No fish, just running a filter to make it look clear.

Even got a bit of blossom on a few bushes and trees. Croakarses in full bloom and daffs about to.

Not bad to say we are officially 'oop North here.

Yep, even a cynical old bugger like me can say his nibs is in his heaven. think I'll get a beer and go out and enjoy it.

Mind you, shouldn't get too excited, off to Norway skiing next week. Hiring a car in Oslo and back to driving on packed snow as if it were still December here.
