Tis Almost Like...

      Spring! It's a gorgeous day out there- the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the blue sky is a light blue only to be found after a long winter. I was out there in a t-shirt to-day (admittedly I like wearing t-shirts out of doors when it's still a teensy touch cool, too cool for the rest of the populace), and it was lovely. It felt just like spring, except, of course, it's almost the middle of December, with only ten days to go until Christmas. No doubt we shall get one of those lovely green Christmases. Or a winter like those in the Motherland (a friend who hails directly from England said that this type of weather we've been having is very English. Hurrah, said I!). 

   But alas, it is not spring. It is not my favourite time of the year. At all. No matter, it still gives me hope.

P.S.: I learned something shocking about a book I read once, which made me very, very glad of my original opinion of the book, and also my original stance on certain characters, and also the original side I took in the conflict. I am now glad of this as it shows that I have been a real conservative and a real monarchist for much longer than I previously thought, and much longer than simply the past few years when I have been pointedly examining and deciding my beliefs on matters of right and wrong. I also wonder how anyone sensible can like the characters I disliked, due to certain role models which they uphold, but perhaps it proves that common sense is not so common now a days, which is something I've known for a while.

P.P.S.: Also, shall I have the freedom to be insulted that a website listing the different milestones of 2011 listed the Royal Wedding as "entertainment"? Entertainment?!? That I thinkest most decidedly not. People just do not get it these days.
