Want a vivid example of the strength of will? Need a first hand experience of the true resilience of the human spirit? Surely these most put upon of creatures. second only to lawyers and paedophiles in the irrational public hate stakes. must be saluted for their ability to do a job under duress. Surely we could throw them a lifeline and let them work undercover? At least it would make it more difficult for drivers to mow them down.
Spring is a bloody liar of a season. The deceptive swine who promises so much but delivers so little. While the daffodils and tulips bloom and the sun vaguely threatens to shine we discard winter coats like naive streakers. It only takes minutes to be out the house before it starts going at it like Hurricane Janice or something. Keep your sou‘wester on or keep indoors until the first snows of summer have come.
