Week 8

Washing on the line

Hello!

Another chilly week…with finally a break at the end of it. It still LOOKS the same - endlessly grey and grim - but this morning on the dog walk there was, I swear it, a warm breeze. A warm breeze! Imagine. I can see from the forecast that there may be a few drops of sunshine in our near future too. When (if?) the spring weather finally kicks in properly we are going to be beside ourselves. Imagine it, daffodils swaying in yellow sunshine…how far away can that be?

Shame on me, because this is our weekly community post in which we celebrate the moment, this week, whatever it has held, and we try not to dream the year away wishing for spring and summer. I tell you something special or particular that I noticed that felt very ‘this week in the year’, and then you tell me yours in the comments. And normally we manage it very well but blimey this cold grey weather has gone on and on…

Here’s mine:

Washing on the line

My first washing on the line of the year! This was on a brief day of cold sunshine and I will admit that it didn’t fully dry but still, we edge slowly towards the glorious day on which a whole washing is powder dry after a couple of hours and ready to be folded and put away smelling of sunshine. I love that stuff.

That’s it from me this week. Somehow, next Friday is the last day of the month and so this is your last chance to get your entries in for the Big Beautiful February Poem, which will be hitting your inboxes then. It also means that next Sunday will be the first Sunday of the month and so it will be ‘Usual Spot’ time in the chat part of the app, what seems like mere days after the last one. So, get busy with your comments and lining up your pics.

Can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to.
