Halfway round the sun

6 months ago the leaves

Held onto the trees

Fluttered in the breeze

Warm and gentle

Only slightly crisped

By cold winds and frosts

Halfway round the sun

The light slowly faded

Cold winds decended

Now the grey gloom remains

The sun visited us today

For half an hour

But still…….

Halfway round the sun

Spring is coming….

Night

Are you more of a night or morning person?

Night is good for fireworks, comets and supernovae. You can’t see them well in daylight.

Also exciting things like auroras and the bright glow of volcanoes.

You might be able to see the milky way galaxy, planets and meteors.

Not that I’m obsessed with astronomy.

Also when you go inside you can watch interesting films on TV.

Daytimes? Well if you are looking forward to nice weather you can sometimes be lucky and get sunshine. But isn’t watching a thunderstorm at night more exciting? And reading a book in bed is relaxing.

Plus, getting up early in the morning it’s often cold. I prefer to stay snug, thank you.

Lurgy

Last might my voice was croaky

I sneezed twice. But I was ok

Now I have the lurgy

I feel tired and achy

My nose is dripping like a tap

My eyes are gunged up.

Change in weather

Cold germs sneak out and gets you

Warm germs decide to leave.

I always get colds in autumn and spring.

Fed up

The cats hate me sneezing

Loudly…

Threatening rain

Cooled down and gone overcast. The temperature is now 23.2°C, the screen is showing rain and a barometer reading of 1006 millibars. I think it is hotter outside.

My friend is experiencing 26°C where he lives which is about 100 miles north east of here. I think the worst thing is the humidity. I feel like I’m sitting in a sauna. Hopefully it will cool down and feel more comfortable as the evening goes on. I’m very tempted to eat another ice cream, but I’ve already had one today!

Low pressure

Low pressure over us, the barometer fell last night from changeable to much rain, and rain it did this morning. There is flooding in the English midlands and snow melt has added to the problem.

I tapped the barometer again this morning  and the indicator didn’t move. The weather just hasn’t been good, it’s cold and wet. But the temperature has risen a bit from the freezing conditions we had a few days ago. I hope the barometer goes back up again soon.

Keeping warm

Find a warm spot and curl up. You can put your nose under your tail and snuggle down. Cats are lucky to have tails. Making them cuddly and comfy.

Apart from sleeping for hours a day? They are funny and playful. They are intelligent and charming. They are sometimes naughty too! Being a cat in a house can be a pleasure, but some people are cruel and unkind. Cats like all pets need treating with love care and attention. They will love you if you do. They are, awesome companions if you get the right ones.
