Early spring not a good sign


It's been the warmest winter on record in some states and spring arrived early, confusing the plant world.  This week we're expecting temperatures to reach the 30s.  Let's hope we're not in for the hottest summer ever!!!!  Our poor old planet...

I'm enjoying the course from Israel on A Brief History of Mankind but am appalled to find trolls spoiling the Discussion Group.  Coursera had to place a warning!  What has our world come to, when even supposedly educated people (you'd expect them to be able to reason and be reasonable) behave like this.  I know it's common to find rude comments in places like The Daily Mail, but why on a university course?  So sad.

Unfortunately the link I posted on my last entry wasn't what I thought.  It didn't show more photos but apparently moves on to something different every day.

We have a worry too here in UK.
Our migrants of swallows, swifts and martins arrived very late from their winter in Africa and our summer did not arrive until they did. Now horror of horrors they have left the UK early to fly back to Africa which to the country folk can only mean we are in for a long hard winter.
Nevertheless I hope they all land safely and make the journey back again next year.
