Wow, the third nice day in a row. Sunny, low 20's, wind not cold. I only have three short-sleeved work shirts, probably just as well a change is due tomorrow or I'd have to ignore the newly reinstated dress code.

I've been taking extra long walks at lunchtimes, exploring the canal further down than I normally go while soaking up the sun. Found the swans, they've built their nest under a tree down there and look very content.
Normally I have this walk mostly to myself, but with the sunshine oodles of people have emerged to walk, cycle, and bask on every available grassy bank. I no longer regard this behaviour as strange. There have also been some brave optimists fishing in the canal.
The last two mornings I've been catching the express train to Dalmuir after missing the one via Singer. Walking back a station isn't noticeably quicker than waiting for the next train would have been, but they've been such nice mornings for a walk.
Spring has definitely sprung. The trees are finally green again, or pink or white in the case of the blossoming ones. Some photos shortly.

A few weeks like this during the summer will make me a happy little aussie. I'll buy more shirts.
