    Already noticing the tiniest stretch in the evenings. Nice and bright today until just after 5pm, there are daffodil stems popping up in the park and I bought lawn seed this afternoon ready to spruce up my lawn's (dog related) bald patches once February gets here. :)

    Certainly made the most of today with a nice walk on the pier in Dun Laoghaire and then down to Sandycove. Smothering with a rotten cold since Wednesday but the sea air did me the world of good.

    Lovely bright crisp winter's day. What's not to like?

    One of the best things about the Jan-Mar period IMO, wrap up and enjoy the lovely walking weather.

    There was a definite decent stretch in the evening yesterday - helped by the fact it was a lovely clear day. We have a good few daffs starting to poke their heads up too. I went a bit mad and planted loads of them in October/November - some of them might have been too late but I'm hoping that come Easter, we'll have a lovely display of colour in the garden.

    Although the rabbits have dug up a lot of them from the flower beds :mad:

    Funnily enough, when leaving the office on Friday I really noticed the increased brightness. The week before I walked down to the trai station & it was pretty much dark, last week it was considerably brighter & even noticed when getting off the train it wasnt as dark... cant wait for the clocks to go forward now & we really get the benefit of brigher evenings.

    I agree just back from a 40 min dog free walk :pac:

    A dog free walk these days are rare. But yeah it’s lovely out. Cold crisp and I even managed to see stars in the sky :)

    Some amazing sunrises/sets the last couple of days as well. One of the many great things about living beside the sea, seeing the sun coming up or going down across water, is one of life's simple pressures.
