I'm watching the horse racing at the moment - such is the busy life of the retired - and they are racing in a blizzard at Lingfield (in the south east of England) immediately followed by bright sunshine and green grass from Punchestown in Ireland. We aren't having anything like either of those extremes here. It is what the Scots call dreech. There are still swathes of dirty snow all over the place but also grass.
I see one or two famous people have died like Erich Segal and one of the McGarrigle sisters. It's sad.

Lots of famous folks are leaving us, it seems. My mum will be sad about the McGarrigle - she's a big fan.
