Spring, huh?

caddymanA lot of people have been eulogizing the coming of Spring.
Well the only sign of it in London has been the fact that the wind has swung back around to the north, making it damn chilly again. Mind you, in the brief time I was out today I did notice the greenery beginning to show (albeit tentatively) on the branches of some of the local trees. It was sunny, too.
I will know when Spring is here properly when the last of the blossom drops off the murderous cherry tree at the end of our road (it is a trend setter - it always kicks out the flowers well ahead of anything else, and promptly sheds them just as the fashion is being picked up by the rest of its arboreal brethren) which is in any case a mutant, since no other cherry tree in existence does to my sinuses what that one does.
The other sure fire way of knowing Spring is here is that my telly reception goes to pot as the conker tree outside the house fills up with leafy foliage. Most of the time this doesn't matter as I get my telly off the cable, but now and then I want to tape something and watch another channel. From mid Spring to Mid Autumn this is problematic and it is quite possible to get seasick from the picture I get over my puny indoor aerial.
Spring has sprung, eh? Lucky there’s bugger all on telly over the summer.
