Sunny Sunday

Sunday was beautiful, capping off a warming trend in the weekend, it was a full 19°C/68°F — gorgeous, balmy weather at last, and our first fully springlike weekend. Of course, because of the way life goes, D. spent the entire weekend in the house sick, and T. had to attend a three-hour chorus rehearsal in the loveliest part of the day.

Shorts abounded, and T. walked back from rehearsal in jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt, feeling decidedly overdressed as contrasting her city compatriots. It was nice to see everyone out and about with dogs and toddlers in tow. Nicer still is the fact that although it blew up a storm late last night and it poured this morning with the temperatures dropped by fifteen degrees, it promises to blow (blow being the operative word – really windy!!!) through by noon and the sun will come out again.

The daffodils are all out — and there look to be signs of actual tulips. They’re the last bulbs up, around these parts, so if we’re seeing actual tulips – not forced, but grown from bulb – that does indeed mean that true Spring has finally arrived. T. remains skeptical, but persuadable.

The photograph is dreadful – taken with a cellphone camera – but it shows just how many people were outside. Glasgow is the second largest city in the UK, and it only takes a sunny day to remind you of this! Still — nice to see the smiles and relaxed faces. Have a happy week.
