'sno snow y'know

Pah. Fooey.

I see shadows.

I see fluffy white clouds in a blue sky.

The buildings around me are looking sort of yellow in a strange light.

Whilst all around me the twitterverse is talking about #uksnow and bad weather. This morning we had a snowflake fall here. I saw it. Then a little later another dozen or two. I held my tongue out to see whether it passed the tongue test. Nope. I couldn't catch a single flake. Mainly because they were smaller than grains of salt. This picture from rashbre central on 5 Jan 2009 has much more of a snowdrift than anything today.

And now this yellow light.

Sunshine.

I quite like it.

gardening notes

I said I'd look out for signs of Spring and noticed these robust looking shoots pushing through the earth in the garden today.

I don't think they are from the Mars plant which inhabits part of the garden, secretively burrowing underground and then re-appearing unexpectedly with space suckers which, when cut, squirt toxic Martian space juice up to a quarter of a mile.
