"THE OFFICIAL DAY OF SPRING"

 

TODAY MY POSTINGS ALL ABOUT THE OFFICIAL FIRST DAY OF SPRING.

APPARENTLY SOMEONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO ALTER EVERYTHING.

THE GOVENMENT WANT IT NOW TO BE ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF MARCH.

THE MET OFFICE THEY ARE ARGUEING AND ARE SAYING THATS IT'S A FARCE.

THEY SAY THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING STARTS ON THE EVE OF THE 20TH NIGHT.

WELL I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT TO BE THE 21ST AM I RIGHT.?

I DON'T KNOW AS I WRITE THIS RHYME JUST WHAT THE WEATHER WILL BE .

BUT IT'S  BEEN A VERY  BITTER COLD WEEK AND CERTAINLY FROZEN ME. 

IV'E RIGGED OUT IN LOTS OF WOOLEYS AND I DIDN'T LOOK  VERY NICE. (HA).

I CANNOT KEEP WARM AT ALL I'M AFRAID  AND MY FEET ARE LIKE BLOCKS OF ICE.

SO I GOT OUT MY PARTNERS RUGBY SOCKS AND I PULLED THEM UP TO MY KNEES.

HOPING THEN MY LEGS WOULD BE WARM AS THEY GO ON STRIKE WHEN THEY FREEZE.(HA)

I PUT LEGGINGS ON  UNDER MY TROUSERS AND LOTS MORE LAYERS  TOO.

MR MICHELIN DIDN'T HAVE A LOOK IN NO I'M NOT KIDDING YOU.

AND  BEING ALONE TWAS IMPOSSIBLE I'D HAVE LIKED TO SHOW YOU MY PIC. (HA)

BUT THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING SHOULD BE WARMER DOESN'T IT MAKE YA SICK.

THEY'LL BE OTHERS  LAID OUT ON LOUNGERS IN SOME COUNTRIES ABROAD.

AND ME STUCK HERE TOGGED UP LIKE THIS FEELING AS STIFF AS A BOARD.

IV'E KEPT VERY BUSY AS ALWAYS ON THE GO MOST OF THE DAY LONG.

HUMMING TUNES AS I DID MY WORK  AND EVEN SINGING A SONG.

TO TRY AND CHEER MYSELF UP A BIT  AS I'M  MISERABLE WHEN  I'M COLD.

MY CENTRAL HEATING IS ON FULL BLAST MY BILL A FORTUNE I'M TOLD.

SO I THOUGHT AFTER LUNCH TO HAVE A ROMP WITH THE DUVET WOULD DO NO HARM.

I HAD A NAP AND CURLED  UP IN MY BED IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I FELT  WARM (HA)

AND OH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY MISTERY DRIVE . 

WHEN WE WENT OUT ON "MOTHERS DAY"  IT STARTED OFF SUNNY OUTSIDE.

BUT THE WIND THEN HOWLED AND THE SLEET DID FALL AND THE RAIN LASHED DOWN AS WELL.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER WITH ALL OF THE PICS THEN NO PROBS WITH AOL

I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES ANOTHER  DAY IF EVER SPRING DOES COMES ROUND .

OF THE LOVELY PLACES WE WENT TO AND THE LOVELY VILLAGES WE FOUND.

A LOVELY INN WE HAD LUNCH AT THOUGH AND IT WAS REALY A FABULOUS  MEAL.

I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFOREHAND AND IT CERTAINLY DID APPEAL.

SO HERES AN ODD PICTURE UP ABOVE FOR TO SEE TILL WE VISIT NEXT  TIME.
