The Shortest Day

Oddly, my daffodils have come out in full bloom this week. :/

Happy Easter

Well, it was 17 degrees on Sunday down here. Had a huge orange butterfly trapped in my house.

Nature is probably all confused

Everything comes out early then dies when it does get cold

I saw one when I went out; a great big, beautiful one (as they all are, imo).

I used to prefer cold and dark but now I prefer hot and light. Go figure.

I think you discovered sunlight!!

Feels like the longest day here at work

It's almost summer again!

Lets just hope that Jan and Feb aren't particularly brutal to make up for a mild Nov and Dec.

Oh I don't know. We've had Starwars IV, V and VI on all day here, played an awful lot of Mario Kart, and we're now off to the new StarWars film at the screen the company has hired tonight

Sounds horrible. Would be much better if it was LOTR and Crash Team Racing though :cool:

You jammy devils!! What sort of company do you work for? The week running up to Christmas was always business as usual at everywhere I've worked (both public and private sector).

I love winter but the darkness does kill me. Not too bad now I live down at 37*, at 56*back home in Scotland it was a nightmare.

I work at a software company. Perks include free food (good food too) all day, regular mini-golf tournaments in the office, four games consoles for mario kart/fifa ladders, massages, haircuts, bike maintenance (they want to encourage people to ride in), one barista day/month (where they bring in a coffee company and serve different flavoured coffees that we can vote on to buy for the machines), company funded sports clubs (eg they pay for squash and badminton courts, football courts), regular days out etc. I think it's probably best described as a creche for adults.

It's a bit of a blast working here, and quite a change from the large Enterprise I left recently, who paid well but hadn't a clue how to treat staff.

Summers on it's way!!

Steedie · 23 Dec 2015 at 10:51

I much prefer the dark and cold. Hayfever has ruined any love I had for the warmer months

Admiral Huddy · 23 Dec 2015 at 10:52

Just been outside in my T-shirt.. :/

It's because people have too many Christmas lights on their houses

russell664 · 23 Dec 2015 at 12:42

Yesterday was cut short. :mad:

Dis86 · 23 Dec 2015 at 12:46

Yey! A little bit more sun each and every day!
