I think summer has properly arrived.  It's 7pm and the sun is setting causing the horrible concrete block of flats across my road to actually look rather artistic!  Also people are planning bbq's, trips to the park, general outdoor stuff... it seemed like it was only a few weeks ago it was snowing.

Well on the random quotation front "Weather is a great metaphor for life - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and there's nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella."
