On our walk today we have spotted the first signs of spring.<\/p>\n

\"Snowdrop\"<\/a>
Snowdrop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A number of snowdrops have started to appear standing proud above the muddy grass in our park.<\/p>\n

These small flowers, in groups of 5 or 10 flowers stand only 15cm or so above the very dirty grass and are a sure sign spring is on its way.<\/p>\n

We found the plants on the banking next to the tennis courts in Bitts Park.<\/p>\n

The white tennis blister <\/a>is still lying in the ground after it deflated following the recent windy weather.<\/p>\n

The recent rain has made big puddles in the folds of the plastic which, if the weather forecast is to be believed, will possibly turn the tennis area into a new ice rink for the city tonight.<\/p>\n

Twitter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Dad has been playing again and has now organised a Twitter feed<\/a> for us.<\/p>\n

For those of you have not heard of this service it is called microblogging<\/a> and dad says it is really cutting edge stuff.<\/p>\n

The idea is that we can just let you know what we are doing or if we have updated the site very quickly without creating a big post. \u00a0It is a sort of headlines service…. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Our username is\u00a0ablogfrommydog \u00a0<\/em>if \u00a0you want to keep an eye on us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Must go now as sausages need to be kept an eye on in the kitchen. \u00a0Mum is cooking some for dinner and, well, need we say more.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Until next time<\/p>\n
