Glorious weather has arrived at last and the daffodils are blooming. I almost couldn't believe it when I stepped off the plane from Sweden and suddenly felt extremely hot in my winter jacket. Blue skies. Glorious sunshine. I'd forgotten just how good it felt. Ally and I celebrated with an evening walk by the river. Thank goodness for the weather because we needed a bit of cheering up. Ally's being messed around with her new job. They've kept delaying her start date so she phoned up today to discover they haven't actually "authorised" her role yet with the director and it's not even a definite thing. Basically they've been offering her a job that doesn't even exist yet. We'll only find out on Monday. At best, she'll only start on April 1st now. Not very professional. And on top of that, she took the car for a basic £100 service and ended up with a £750 bill. When it rains, it pours! But at least the sun is shining...
Some geese can be notoriously nasty. In fact, poor Ally was severely traumatised by a troop of hissing "feathered monsters" when she was a teenager. They had her running around a swimming pool with them in hot pursuit. But these Cambridge geese (see photo) were awfully cute and waddled past us at close quarters with gentle hello's. I took a couple of close up shots while Ally cowered on top of a nearby table in terror. Her teenage memories were still acutely fresh.
