What's coming up (or going down) in March besides Spring flowers in the North and Autumn leaves in the South ?

Hmmm - my youngest brother's birthday is upcoming in March, plus the one of a friend of my wife (lovely lady who lives on a homegrowing farm in Wales). Otherwise, not much...

Monday March 2nd

There's an old saying "If March comes in like a lamb it will end like a lion" (or the other way around) also "If March winds do blow we shall have snow" it has been very windy but haven't seen snow for years in March.
It's been quite mild and Lamb-like in temperature so far but there are horrendous floods and rivers overflowing. The quarry behind my house has almost filled to be a lake again.
On the practical side our shower is being fixed on Wednesday and the estate agent is taking photos on Thursday. I don't know anyone with a March birthday.
I think that the wikiloops Diary shows us how unadventurous our lives are most of the time, but in England we always have the weather to talk about. :)

March 2026 will be remembered for a long time in the Gee household. My precious dish washer, a man's best friend, which was 18 years old had developed a terminal pump problem, which I diagnosed correctly but... it's so old I could not find a suitable used replacement. A new pump was also not available at a reasonable price :( So after 2 weeks of trying I gave up and bought a new one. But I took out all useful bits and will put them up for sale at a seriously low price just in case some like minded repairist will need them.

Plus, I managed to repair the tumble dryer that had an electrical problem. So I would call it a draw. One fixed, one failed.

In a couple of weeks I have a short holiday, will visit the Island of Sardinia. I heard so many good things about it, can't wait. Plus, I love Sardines!
