Love the cartoons, really made me laugh, thanks!
Here in Ireland we seem to have settled into a pattern of beautiful (but cold) sunny mornings but by mid afternoon it is bucketing down like a monsoon complete with howling winds. I reckon if it keeps going like this for a few more years Ireland will be the place to come to experience a natural rainforest!
On the bright side, the daffodil stems are about 9" out of the ground and the wild garlic is just about ready to eat, so spring is definitely trying it's best to be sprung.
