the watch of time

Allegedly, Spring has officially arrived this week, although evidence of the following is sparse…

–       Drivers get to become reacquainted with the exterior colour of their vehicles  

–       It’s easier to see where grass would be thanks to a thinner coating of ice

–       Confused birdlife add their input to human squawking about unwanted snowfalls

–       Foods identified as ‘fresh’ no longer have to come with disclaimers

–      Increasingly, higher percentages of ice are to be found inside drinking glasses than on the ground

–      You don’t need a jackhammer to dig into the ground 

–       One can be more forgiving of the 50% accuracy of weather forecasters  

–       Driving around potholes is a fairer contest because now you can actually see them

–      ‘White out conditions’ are only being used in reference to correcting typos 

–     Feeling blue goes back to being just about emotions rather enhanced with outdoor temperatures
