Can't help but feeling spring is in the air... the bloody birds are making too much noise

Traditionally February is a LONGGGG month for me despite its actual number of days. Since I moved (ages ago) from Sunny Florida I have missed the sun. Funnily moving to London - really far away and really far north.

--Caution Big Diversion ahead--
I got curious about how far north I really was so I started looking up Lats of places I have lived and here they are in chronological order:
TPA Latitude: 27° 58' 23'' N;
ATL Latitude: 33° 38' 27" N;
SFO Latitude: 37 °34' 5" N;
LHR Latitude: 51° 28' 39" N
Holy cow - Moscow's main airport (not that I live there or plan to, its just, you know, cold) is Lat 55° 58' 59" - thank you Gulf Stream

I guess I'm some sort of weird reverse snowbird. While I thought San Fran really was the frozen north it was only 10° north. A reminder for those of you who fell asleep in middle school there are 90° of Lat north of the equator to give you a comparison scale.
--Big Diversion now over--

Going to Tampa for Christmas I watched the sun come up most mornings because it was such a beautiful sight. In fact I frequently took a picture of it with my phone (I need to figure out how to get the phone pictures in the blog). Now I see why I did that - I actually crave the sunrise at about 6-7 am - when it really should be rising!

But you know you can always tell when after weeks of rain and darkness you wake up at 6 because the birds are making a bloody racket; you look out the window and its NOT dark. I swear sap rises in my soul.

But I'm getting British enough to know that I'll start moaning about something else soon. I bet I'll start complaining about not sleeping because it get too light to early.

Click on the word sheep to hop to You tube and see a video. I know you can embed them but I don't feel like slowing down to learn how!

I am a knitter and my family is Welsh. I have heard sheep are not too bright. This link is from and it feels like home's blog - see link on list to the right.
