Rainbow
We had a downpour but accompanied with the sunshine. I want to share the double rainbow with you:
This was a view from our window.

Taurus
We had a "Taurean gathering" in Prague on Saturday. My friend offered her tiny flat. There were 6 people born in Taurus and one Capricorn was allowed to attend - after all, he has got the horns and, which is the most important, we all love the boy!
I had problems with travelling - if you ever visit the Czech Republic, do not travel on Saturdays! The schedules are untrustworthy, in a mess and you can´t choose the time.
My bus didn´t exist - at least I was not the only one to suffer for it, otherwise I would have considered myself a usseless dement. My co-victims were three seniors from Dallas, USA, hahahaha, it sounds like a joke but yes. I took care of them and got them to Prague on a train!
I was supposed to be in a theatre with my friends, I called them and they left my ticket with an attendant. I arrived only 12 minutes late! The musical was ëxellent, a parody on westerns, we all know it from a film. We left together and had an excellent evening/night/morninig!
Other Taurus friends were from various fandoms - we all are: Star Trek from TOS to TNG, LOTR, FOTR, Star Wars, Sharpe, B7. Aged from 54 to 23. Excellent, funny, we went to bed ( sleeping bags) after 3a.m.
Only I had to get up early - I had to catch my train.
I am very happy now - being with good people is a gem!

Raising a maypole
Yesterday evening was at a sign of "burning the witches" and raising a maypole. It is a long, long tradition but now limited mostly only to villages. There are not real witches burnt, there are big fires and people gather around and share drinks and celebrate a springtime and love. The most resilient ones stay overnight to guard the maypole because the boys from other villages always try to cut down other maypoles.
We were lucky this year, it was not raining and our maypole is intact. Our boys however cut down two other maypoles - and had to ruuuuuuuun!
Raising a tall tree trunk needs a team work and a good logistics:
1.A clean fir trunk with a wreath and ribbons still on the ground
2.The boys secure a wreath
2.3.5. The maypole goes up

Blossoms
With a promising weather forecast for this weekend, for all who are in a need of blossoms:
Our cherry tree and a Forsythia at the background
A little joke - another "bloom" : Badik the Labrador chased my daughter´s cat and then had fun watching him climbing higher and higher. Happy end, do not worry, they are friends!
Lots of genuine violets under a lime tree in our garden. Fragrant, oooohhhh:-)

One day difference
Only one sunny warm day - and everything sprang to life. My flowerbed with bluebells, and Tygr, immensely content with weather change. ¨
How long can this last?

KES
I am sitting here at work, now what a strange sounds from the outside?
There is a kestrel building a nest just in a tiny roof window in an opposite house!
I hope she/he will keep me company. The Kes is beautiful. There are lots of them here in the town, they help to reduce numerous, DIFFICULT and indescructible flocks of pidgeons.
I always think of that beautiful old film KES - so touching!

Joke?
Is this a joke? Spring? Or not Spring? The first half of it now? Oh, Mother Nature, you can play some games with us! Yesterday snowstorms, minus 5°C at night and now +15°C and SUNNY!!!
The birds went mad and my Tygr the cat is crazy and I am dizzy because the air pressure is dropping again quite a lot and I am very sensitive to it. I am leaving to have a glass of red Wine! Grin (nice excuse!)

Elated
I have just returned from the Transfusion Station from my regular donation of blood.
I am back at work because I usually go here - only two hours opening hours in the library and this I can survive easily. Normal people go home - the day is actually a paid one-day off, but I have to wait for my bus after the noon - so why not to be here!
I am, as usual, absolutely happy, giving blood makes me happy, I feel useful and herioc and slightly lightheaded.
I will reward myself with red wine at home, and with raisins. Both very healthy for a blood renewal - they say one raisin = one drop of blood.

Morning yaaaaaaawn
I can see lots of us are down in the morning!
Well, I had to giggle at 5.30a.m - actually at 4.30 - at the bus stop! One of the regulars began to yawn - and a chain reaction followed, all of us, about 6 people! We got on the bus and brought the epidemy inside - and we all laughed a lot, even unknown people including the driver. Mind you, I have travelled to work for 30 years but THIS has never occurred yet!I am still laughing, and hmmm...coffee...at work, of course!
Cheer up, folks!!!!!!

Morning surprise
At 5 in the morning I opened the door - shocking! More than 2cm of snow appeared overnight! Nice sight, very nice - but my journey to work was like a kind of adrenalin sport! The bus was literally skating on the road which was like a mirror. No traction!
The road goes down a hill with sharp bends and this place was decorated with at least 6 cars in various stage of disorder or damage with unhappy people around. Down the hill there was a big truck carrying live chicks and stuck helplessly. Mind you, the roads on "our side" are very poor and not suitable for big vehicles - the driver must have been out of his mind to use it. Now I am safe at work and thinking of my son, who will have to drive somewhere ...I am always worried but today it is even worse!
