The days are getting longer, and today has been bright and sunny. Sitting here, and looking out of the window, it looks warmer than it is, and I would be happier if the temperature picked up a bit.
With sunny evenings, I get chance to let the cats into the garden for a while, which makes them happy. They do enjoy sitting on the shed and chattering at the birds taunting them from the trees. What they would do if they were able to get their paws on them is anyone's guess.
The weekend is here and although it was a four day week, it dragged. Of course, these two days will fly by and I won't know where the time has gone. I should be busy with the housework, but I have decided that today will be a day for relaxing and recharging batteries.
It is the Aintree Grand National today, but I can never bring myself to watch the race. I really do find it a horrible spectacle and I hope that there are no casualties this year. Ladies Day brings out some sights. Young women put on their glad rags, but usually look as though they dressed in the dark. Clones of each other, big hair, heavy make-up, tottering on heels on which no woman should walk, not an ounce of individuality among them. It will be the same next year!
Footnote: Sadly, like last year, two horses died today at Aintree. Should time now be called on this race which costs the lives of so many horses? If it continues, then there needs to be some serious thought given to making it safer.
