Verification of the observation that windows are better at allowing moonlight through than wallsa are.

Moonlight would easily pass through a piece of ham as used in British Rail sandwiches of the 70's.

In for lunch after hearing the first cuckoo of spring. A welcome sound after a winter of scriking corvids.
After a few days the pleasure of hearing this herald of growth anew wears thin and I start to think about taking my gun for a walk in the woods.
It's no wonder I have never actually seen a cuckoo.

It was yet another "named" moon, I didn't catch the name as I was outside and the radio was inside.
It looked big and moon like anyway.

I think all the moons are named.
I believe this one would be the worm moon, the next will be the pink moon, for pinks will blossom then/

The worm moon has just past, 27th here, 28 in Illinois - it's now waning. My brother's birthday is a blue moon this year. How often does that happen?

(Apparently, a blue moon is the 3rd full moon in a season with 4 full moons.)

Warm, a light breeze and sunny here chez Casa Reynard, but the odd veil of light, high cloud.

Went and ran the parental unit's errands in town this morning, plus have been glueing parts for the model outside. Even when working outside, the glue is giving me a thumping headache and allergy symptoms, so I will likely have to re-think things a bit.

Anyways, it is almost time for lunch, and I has a hungry.

I jolly well hope so although spring in this part of France is usually fairly short lived but this is a bit unnecessary, and for some reason my shorts seem to have shrunk round the waist since last year

No, we are more likely to see winter returning.

No, we are more likely to see winter returning.

The met office has promised a "White Easter", with snowfall on Easter Sunday and/or Easter Monday.

Oh wonderful.

 

[classic33]

Oh wonderful.

This from the same people who promised heavy snowfall in the middle of winter as though it was unexpected at that time of year.

The blue one with the pink stripes.

Couldn't find the blue LS, so had to be red. Wanted to use my blue skid lid, but it had to be the black one.

Long sleeve or short sleeve?

I wished I had a short sleeve. Flipping roasting out, especially as I was on quiet lanes and climbing a fair amount.
