Spring went and sprung.

It did, clocks went forward yesterday, sun came out today in a warm and cheery way. So cheerful was it, that I WALKED TO SCHOOL, yes I did.. almost trotted with a song in my heart. Added to that was my 3lbs lost and a promise of a day out with the girls. Today was a good day.
I was horrified by how stiff and ridiculously out of breath I was. Lawks, shame on me. I have truly punished myself this winter. Curled up, mentally and physically, feeding my body and soul way more than either needed, at last that is over for now.
Am a stiff and cripply old bag tonight though, a whole day of walking and shopping and walking, more movement and excitement in a day than there has been for months. A nice kind of aching. May there be much more of it for a long while.
I love the evenings being lighter, we were out with the boys until 7pm, which means they come in, eat and sleeeeeeeep. I love the sunshine, I heart it all.
The very thought that I can soon wear my crocs flip flops and wear short sleeves is heavenly and happy making. I was made for warmth and light, dark and dreary is not my thing at all. I am like a cat, I all but stretch and preen in sun.
Somebody put easter eggs through out letter box this evening, cadbury's mini eggs and galaxy mini eggs, my lovely devonshire brain think it was a benevolent fairy who wants to make us happy, the part of me that lived in L.A. might think it was the neighbours who are so tired of footballs, basketballs and stones being thrown over the hedge that they have laced said eggs with something sedating and anti ball throwing, if the foil wrappers a a bit squiffy we may not eat them. Fairies are in this area though, for real.
I heard that a mini van of them went leaving plates of home baked goodies on doorsteps around town, ringing bells and running away fast, whilst giggling and tripping to get away without being seen. This is a lovely place to live, you should come here, it's even sunny.
