Thursday: Spring Flowers

The spring has sprung,
The grass has ris,
I wonder where the birdies is.
The birdies, they is on the wing.
How absurd!  The wing is on the bird!

There you are - a little springtime poetry for you.  I can't recall who wrote it.  I am not known for my flower shots but I did think these were most pretty.  I am pretty useless with flora and fauna, though.  Does anybody know what these are?

I ventured back into work today.  I wasn't as productive as I might have been but I did clear a lot of not-very-taxing stuff that otherwise would have tipped over into next week.

All my colds always move in the same way.  I am now at the intensely irritating cough stage.  Irritating for me, and really irritating for everyone else.  K. has just made me a hot toddy that has everything good thrown in it, including a very liberal dose of brandy.  Even if it doesn't work, the buzz is not unpleasant!
