What's that yellow thing in the sky?

OK... what's up? There's this big yellow thing in the sky, and it seems to be emitting warmth. What's going on? I was actually able to sit on a bench in the cathedral ruins today for an entire hour without turning into a popsicle. In fact, with that yellow thing shining down on me, I actually thought that I might need sunscreen. Ha! Amazing. This really needs to happen more often.

On top of that, this morning my hyacinth pot started to bloom. I bought it earlier this week from Marks and Spencers (think Safeway, but with clothes as well). On sale for £2 ($2.80 or so). I was in need of some flowers, so this seemed perfect. It is! The smell is wonderful- and fills my room. I also bought a small pot of daffodils ($1.30) which are close to blooming.

Finally, unless you've been living under a rock the past few days, you've heard about the somewhat heroic return of Ken Griffey Jr. to the Seattle Mariners. May I just say, Welcome Back!
