    Good Morning!!
    Yes it's grey & rainy. But it's still spring. I've seen tulips breaking ground. So it will soon be warm.

    My thoughts are of outdoors. Green grass & flowers.

    Well, it's certainly spring here in the Lake District, and it's absolutely gorgeous today. Was yesterday too.
    If it's nice tomorrow that'll be three days in a row!.

    Oh no three hot days in a row, that'll be summer over and done with .. shall we slide straight back into autumn?

    More on the science behind the vernal equinox here ..

    .. but all quite meaningless to people in the southern hemisphere as I understand.

    Was certainly quite balmy out in Manchester last night, which of course meant crowds .. thousands of people out in the village and a distinct whiff of summer fashion about the place, bring it on!

    Happy first day of Spring!

    I'm almost feeling better, and with spring comes that feeling of renewal.

    Oh my God, did I just say something that corny? I must be feeling better.

    Tiina, is that a picture of you as a little girl?

    "The Bhagavad Gita," or, "Gita" for short, means "Song of the Lord." It is the center part of the "Mahabharata," an epic Indian poem. The "Gita" are the words of Sri Krishna to Arjuna. It is one of the most beautiful works of spirituality ever, and, if you should ever read it, you'll see that the concepts are exactly the same as those of Jesus, but from an earlier time.

    I am probably the world's only Buddhist/Hindu/Catholic. Made it to Palm Sunday mass today, and will stop by the Hindu temple tomorrow. I know, that's awfully strange for an Anarchist.
