and you know what, spring is running towards us in giant flip flops right now, as the bird on the roof here sings his daily improving potpourri of sounds. I do not know what kind of a bird it might be, but the song contains samples of toys, somebody whistling at somebody else (yes, that way), as well as some bits and pieces of future love songs.
Clear proof that spring is nearly here.
I can’t wait.
(At least until my hay fever knocks me out big time and the need for an air conditioning bumps breathing off the top ten list of important things…)
It must be a mocking bird! We have them here and they immitate car alarms and automatic sprinklers sounds.

Here in Tokyo, we are experiencing pollen levels 30x (!!!) higher than usual and it has caused many people to suddenly develop hayfever for the first time, myself included. The city is now awash in facemasks (although I've yet to see people wearing the goggles that are advertised)--I've been sneezing, sniffling and itching my eyes out for a month! I hope it won't be as bad for you when it kicks in.
