Today I thought I' d mention International Meatballs Day. Today is a celebration of the humble meatball. How do you like your meatballs?There are Swedish meatballs with gravy and Italian meatballs with tomato sauce--my favourite. Meatballs came from humble origins but can now be found at street food stalls or at a table in a fine dining venue all around the world. It occurred to me to write a story of meatballs plotting to escape from Nonna's spaghetti, perhaps I'll use it for Jeremy's new 55 word activity.

Prompt: March Weather
β€œIt was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
How is the weather in March treating you where you are, this year?

I always breathe a sigh of relief when February makes way for March as it's officially the end of summer. It doesn't mean Mother Nature knows this of course. I guess it's just the idea of the end of summer which makes me feel cooler, even though the eight days since March began have been the hottest of the whole summer! Yesterday it reached 41 degrees centigrade in my town. Today is a little cooler at only 36!

I have family in the UK and my sister-in-law sent photographs yesterday of spring bulbs in her garden all flowering after one of the wettest winters on record; hyacinths, daffodils and crocus have bravely poked their heads out. So like most of the people in the Northern Hemisphere, my relatives are eagerly waiting for the sun to shine longer each day as we long for less.
