It's that time of your again. The time of year when Daffodils bloom, at least in Sainsburys and Tesco's, where they push through the earth in many council parks, where yellow tips appear slowly there, and I spend a pound or two I canny afford just to brighten up this dismal corner. It is money well spent.
OK, so they only last a week or two, but just to have these bright fresh flowers offering a sniff of nature so close is always worth the money.
There is not much else to do nature wise. The sun is shining through the cold air today, blue sky above pretending Spring has sprung early, but we are not fooled by this. However, after long weeks of almost unbroken cloud it is marvellous to be almost alive again.
The clever people are claiming we might be able to see a planetary alignment tonight. This means up to seven planets might be seen somewhere in the night sky. This alignment will not appear again until 2040, and we might be dead by then if Putin has his way.
However, can I see it? I expect not. It appears to be seen in the southern sky area, I look west by hanging out the kitchen window, and it might not appear until early dawn. This is typical. However, after the end of the Partick Thistle v Livingston game, if still awake, I might take a peek out the window and search for anything like I have seen in past times.
