The Sun Has Got His Hat On

The sun had got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray. It isn't that everythings going my way (I wish) but rather that Spring is making an appearance. The weather has that cool post-winter sunshine thats such a breath of fresh air in Britain. It affects the mood. You wake up, spot the brightness through the curtains, and just know its going to be a good day.
Even a black cat senses the mood. Walking down to my parents place for a sunday dinner it strolled across the road unconcerned about the black Porsche Kayman bearing down on it. Not that the cat needed to worry. The unhurried pace of the porsche driver slowed to a crawl as he patiently let the cat wander across the road unruffled.
So I won't let the sniffles get me down. I've noticed a cold getting the better of me over the last couple of days. Typical Britain. You suffer freezing cold temperatures, snow, ice, and ignorant neighbours, and finally when the sun comes out so do the germs.
Don't care. Today is a good day.
Question of the Week
My parents were looking out the back. They enjoy watching the comings and goings of wildlife in the garden. My father commented on the sign of dampness on the paving stones and asked "Has it been raining?"
Pardon? Take a look outside. The sunshine is glorious. If you've had rainfall here, it's the only place in southern England that has. No, the culprit are the birds, small bluetits and goldfinches and starlings and such, taking advantage of the pond and bathing themselves. Even they sense the mood of the early Spring sunshine.
Or more likely, have they noticed next doors cat is sunning himself rather than hiding in the nearby bush?
