Sunshine and daffodils are no way to apologise for tardiness ... or are they?

I've been pretty slack on here the past two weeks - between being sick, going to Disney, working most of last week and then just being preoccupied with booking  travel and making friends with other secondees and their partners, it just didn't leave much time for here.

In the six weeks we've been here, one thing that I've noticed the most is the light. When we arrived in late January, the sun wouldn't rise til 8:30am and it would be setting and dark by 5pm. Fast forward to now, and it's getting lighter at 6:45am and not dark until closer to 6:30pm. I AM SO EXCITED FOR SUMMER. And getting some block out blinds, because our Venetians are just not gonna cut it.

To celebrate the onset of warmer (or maybe just longer) days, here's a fox sunning himself in today's glorious weather.

Also, I saw my first red breasted robin yesterday! It was a joy :D I feel like I'm living in The Secret Garden, conplete with all the bulbs sprouting.
