Mind you, to be fair, I prefer to count the start of spring from the astronomical date rather the the meteorological one so that's not until March 20th.
Google tells me that "Astronomical seasons are dictated by Earth's orbiting position around the sun. Meteorological seasons are dictated by the Earth's temperatures, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information." so, perhaps, the meteorological one is more accurate but less flexible and, given that global temperatures are changing, perhaps that should change too?
Anyway - it's a bit chilly and raining!! We got lucky yesterday, I think. It wasn't warm but it was dry in Cambridge. It was also very, very crowded - I should have expected it but I was surprised just how many groups of students, tourists, UK and from overseas there were. So many languages in the air!
It was a lovely day. I have to upload and sort out the photos I took and I will do that today and, probably, post it tomorrow morning. Suffice it to say we had good journeys both ways and I came back with the mandatory fridge magnets - I have quite a lot now and I need to tidy them up on my fridge door.
Today is a day at home (thankfully). I need to start Lindsey's loaf and I must do a quick tidy up as downstairs is more than a bit of a mess. It's all surface mess really, shouldn't take long.
Then I can get on with some crochet I took a look at my supply of yarn scraps - you know, those little balls that are too small to do much with apart from few rounds of a granny square - and started joining them all together into one big ball with that magic know one of you lovely people told me about. I've started a top down granny cluster jumper, a pattern I have used several times but it's a quick make, no seams and, in this case, I've already done the joins. It's jolly useful to pull over a think jumper or a T shirt for a bit of extra warmth and I'm often wearing the ones I have already made so, yes, a good use of my scraps, I would say.
It will be a right ragbag of colour but that's OK, I don't have to wear it when I go out if I don't want to! And the scraps are pretty much gone. Yay!

Time to tackle that kitchen! Wish me luck and have a good day, whatever you have in the diary. xx
Looking forward to seeing your multicoloured sweater-think it may have been me who told you about the magic knot as I often use it when knitting shawls. Catriona
