Signs of Spring
 
I'd like to be waxing lyrical about blossom and lambs but alas it's about an apparent burst of new season dumb-ass testosterone in my neck of the woods.

Within 10 minutes of leaving the house today there was 1.) a bare-chested, saggy-bellied man out walking his two bull-terriers with his t-shirt tucked into the back of his shorts... and 2.) a motorcyclist riding with his bike pulled up onto the rear wheel, down a busy four lane road.

:blink:

60 something skinny but beer gutted bloke with white bonds singlet showing nipple and grey hair, and very very short 1970 green and gold nylon shorts with split in side, that was in Coles.

Indeed spring fashion is abundant:eek:

There's always a first show of flowers at our house in August. A sort of preview.

It was daffodil day yesterday, so someone or something decapitated all my daffodils at the front of my house.:frown:

Lots of blossom noted today by my girls. I have to admit that I might not have noticed it myself!
