Are you mad??? Everyone knows you cast ne'er a clout until May is out (or cloot/oot as we say up here in the frozen wasteland of Scotland - where the sun is actually shining, strangely enough).

Hell mend you (and your cropped trousers).

Doodle.....Haha!! grin

Well phoenix trust you!
DH and I had a nice walk planned this afternoon, by the river and possibly including an ice cream. Just getting ready to go and the blue sky has vanished, clouds coming in and a chilly breeze is wafting about.
You know the rules about not casting a clout till May is out and here you are flaunting cropped trousers on the 24th. Sigh...if only you’d waited another few days. Unlike the others, I blame you entirely ??

Hang on a minute, .....a bit of blue sky has appeared,.... the wind has dropped a bit,... there might be a glimmer of sun.........ok, you are forgiven ?

Beautiful hot and sunny here in the east

I have a 15 tog duvet and I am still taking a hot water bottle to bed because I do not want to die of hypothermia. I wear winter cardigans in summer- I only take it off if there is a heatwave.

And I washed nearly all my winter woollies over the weeks but now having to fish them back out again with the Northern areas getting colder sad Wouldn't you know ?
Heavy quilt for my bed at the ready too.

And we turned the central heating off for the 'summer'.

Not your fault Phoenix - it's mine, I put away all my winter jumpers last week

Dont worry Phoenix, not your fault. We are going to the seaside next week - that's what done it!!

Well it’s best to be prepared!
Can’t decide whether or not to put winter clothes away, got my toes (prettily painted by myself) out today, but they could well be back in tights tomorrow

Well, the recent period of good weather prompted a mini flurry of Spring activity here smile

I shaved my legs (had to be done in the bath, can't do that "flamingo" thing in the shower) toenails painted (by MR P, he can get nearer to them than me, and as long as he has his glasses on and good lighting, the result isn't too bad wink

I even found and i*on#d my cropped trousers shock (after checking to see if they still fitted, of course, no point wasting energy!

So, so all ready and good to go!

Except it is now dull, overcast and a tad chilly................sad
