Mazlin Mar 2021 10:15am, 30 Mar 2021 9,973 posts	0 Mazlin I’m going out in a bit to see one of my best friends (even though I may have moaned about her on the Mundane thread last night...) for the first time in 5 months! We’re going for a walk. Obvs.

Hanneke Mar 2021 11:40am, 30 Mar 2021 71,991 posts	0 Hanneke Morning Newters! I have been on a site meeting early this morning and now sitting by the pond with my coffee and the weekend paper. It is warm enough to take my jumper off! Work us progressing really well: new estate fencing is up, gates are in, I went to instruct the guys laying the turf this morning, ordering the plants today, we are nearly done!

Diogenes Mar 2021 11:46am, 30 Mar 2021 58,823 posts	0 Diogenes I am in shorts and a t-shirt and working with the french windows wide open. A bumble bee just came in for a look-see.

GimmeMedals Mar 2021 12:03pm, 30 Mar 2021 20,532 posts	0 GimmeMedals I went for my run this morning instead of afternoon to beat the heat 😁 My dad came round for coffee and we sat in the garden for the first time this year. He really feels the cold these days. He wore his fleece and I am in skort and T-shirt. Mad Dog Jess wouldn’t leave his side for some reason ❤️
Sharkie Mar 2021 12:08pm, 30 Mar 2021 17,791 posts	0 Sharkie Two more butterflies for me this morning. Yesterday was the first one so he counts in spite of being a Cabbage White, who usually prompts a cry of, 'Get off me crops you tiny fluttering bastard!' Today I saw a sulphur yellow Brimstone and then a smallish brownish butterfly I couldn't identify. Possibly a Brown Argus but I think it's a bit early for them. I'm not that good on butterfly and moth identification.

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
