Spring has sprung

Isn’t it always the way? You never see a sound engineer and then two come along at the same time. I know because it happened to me today while I waited for a bus in the Borough.

I’d been presenting the Haslemere and Liphook edition of the talking newspaper and had already seen another couple of sound engineers there. You could say that my day was littered with sound engineers.

Our recording went extremely well. I had a new (to me) reader called Nigel and two ladies who’ve read with me many times. It was all very funny, chaotic and entertaining.

Nigel asked if I’d ever considered being a DJ. One of the few jobs I’ve never done but would have loved, I assured him.

There were quite a few stories which featured the weather and I made a comment to the effect that the English just love discussing it.

My readers all agreed suggesting that it must get quite dull in Australia when all you can talk about is sunshine. I didn’t bother disillusioning them.

Back at home I set about making my weekly Paleo bread. Mirinda arrived home just after I put it in the oven. After smelling the culinary delight, she then insisted we take a stroll around the garden.

And, finally, the tulips are appearing all over.

A lot of them in the new lavender bed are doubles and look quite ruffly.

And, of course, there are the usual bright red blooms outside my office.

There are more colours than just red but for reasons that must remain forever a mystery, I only took photos of the red ones. I’ll do better tomorrow.

And today marked the first time we’ve eaten on the terrace this year. It’s the next stage following hygge and always enjoyable.
