Ides of March.

[Bierzo Baggie]

Well, after a long winter, cold enough to freeze the brass off a monkey nut (pardon me for the Keeganism) Summer seems to have leapfrogged Spring and the big heat is on its way. Went for a run around the canal today and it was too hot for the Ron Hill trackie bottoms I was wearing. It was too hot for March 16th. The combined influence of a continental climate and global warming means that dramatic temperature swings are more noticable in certain regions. Less than 2 weeks ago I was breaking ice from the fountain of San Esteban and now I’m running along a canal accompanied by butterflies and I feel like jumping in just to cool off. These extremes certainly don’t feel normal. Ask the old fellows in their allotments. And what about the storks who can’t be bothered to migrate any more? It worries me, and even more so when I run because that’s when I’m most conscious of what’s happening around us.
