Who the fuck called the Season Police?

I'm with you. For me, March signals spring.

 

[Byron In Exile]

One day left of winter.

Sorry you missed it.

I always go by the Irish calendar, just cos that's how I was brought up. That okay with you?

I stand corrected. I've always gone by the equinoxes and solstices. Sorry to ruffle plumage.

Nah you're okay. I've been a right touchy cunt all day.

I am Seasonal Police, and you all must now consider yourselves arrested, yes?

Sorry you missed it.

We've had NO winter over here this year. Lots of gales and rain. No snow or decent frosts.

Gutted.

Oh god. Must I spell this one out? Okay.

My Dad would be 92 if he lived, my Mum is 88. They were old school Irish and this is how they thought of the seasons. And a lot in Ireland to this day go by these months. It's just one of those things that stay with you from your upbringing.

I feel like I'm pulling teeth tonight.

You know I wasn't that sure about here. I said the same today at work and a couple said that Spring wasn't until later in March in their books.

Well, my ancestors were from the North. And they paid as much attention to the movements of the planets and the sun as the Egyptians did.

So they knew when the Equinoxes and the Solstices occurred.

You should check out Stonehenge.

You know when I used to drive to Dorset I drove past that area and always threatened to veer off and have a look. I wish I had now.

Fuck the calendar; spring begins when the daffodils bloom.

 

[girlsmiley]

In Australia, the seasons are defined by grouping the calendar months in the following way:

Spring - the three transition months September, October and November.
Summer - the three hottest months December, January and February.
Autumn - the transition months March, April and May.
Winter - the three coldest months June, July and August

Last day of summer here, chick. Let's swap islands!

Daffs are pure Spring for sure. They were my Dad's favourite flower. He died Jan 6th and I had his wreath made with mini daffodils. It looked lovely.

It's aligned on this basis.

Basically, it's a season-clock.

This has been known since I can remember...

"The giant megalithic stone circle of Stonehenge aligns most prominently to the summer solstice sunrise. On this day the sun rises over the Heel Stone outside the circle, and penetrates into its center to the altar stone."

everyday that av makes me smile, no matter what

Hehe.

Hello there!



You can have him if you want. I can find another av easy.

My neck is a bit sore and tender. After several hours of interweb diagnoses, the problem seems to be a swollen retroauricular lymph node.


These sound like lymph nodes or glands. The particular glands you are referring to are known as the retro-auricular lymph glands. These glands enlarge in response to infection in the region that they drain, which includes the external ear and a portion of the side of the head. It is possible that you may recently have had a minor scratch on your scalp or perhaps you had an episode of infection in the outer part of your ear. The glands often enlarge in response to infestation of the scalp so it may be worthwhile having your scalp inspected to exclude that possibility. Several times I have observed such glandular enlargement in the case of people with pierced ears, especially piercing that extends along the rim of the ear. Sometimes the glands enlarge as part of a generalised lymph node enlargement throughout the body in response to a viral infection. The usual pattern is for the glands to remain enlarged for a couple of weeks and then reduce in size. Persistent painless enlargement of lymph glands that is not readily explainable warrants medical assessment.


Great. Now I need someone to inspect my scalp.
