Spring!

[sigourney's knickers]

Are we getting the bus down to Crosser for a dip? Or maybe we could walk, it's been done before....

I travel light so I'll be walking down there in my togs, snorkel and flippers.

Few jam sangiches, penguin bar and a capri sun.

“Spring” is a concept that is open to multiple interpretations.

You should take off the flippers while walking

Well according to one "expert" here it definitively is NOT. Although he can't say quite when it actually does start

Your "etc etc" isn't very informative the way Drucker at least tried to be.

I've no vested interest in any of this. If someone proves conclusively that March (and now according to you it seems to be "mid March" again a very fluffy term) has a better call on being the start of Spring rather than the first week of February I'll be delighted to be educated.

The "vernal equinox" at which you seem to be pointing now is NOT mid March, but according to google
In the Northern Hemisphere (where most Cork people find themselves) the vernal equinox falls about March 20 or 21, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator going north.

So the suggestion that the First of March, the first week of March, or even mid-March marks the start of our Spring is mistaken.

Do you want to try again?

March 21.

Having a brilliant Spring! so far.

The daffodils are coming out in force. Been batin' the heads off oul' wans n young 'uns that are picking them.

March 21.

I wonder what the animal and plant kingdoms would make of the insistence that Spring hasn't really sprung until March 21.

Wabbit season.

March 21.

What about in Australia?

You know when Bugs Bunny used to dress up as a lady rabbit with blonde pigtails, does that mean that he/him is gender fluid?
