Or to be strictly accurate - 'will be alive' with the sounds of Mr M puffing his way round the U.K. Yes, after looking round for a 'project' following his TDF last year, he has decided that he will climb evr'y mountain, or cycle every hill. We have had a minor marital tiff over whether calling a blog 'Hills I have climbed' when you've not actually climbed them yet is quite in keeping with the ethos of bloggery. Never mind. Read all abut it. Link in my blogroll.
Meanwhile, Spring if not quite sprung, is certainly making brave attempts at making itself known round here. Sun and brilliant blue skies are the order of the day. Perfect dog walking weather. Though for some peculiar reason the song of the birds, the whirr of concrete mixers, the roar of the lawnmower domesticus ploughing its way across the lawn; all the sounds of suburbia in fact - has set me off humming... 'Wir setzen uns mit Tranen nieder' from Bach's St. Matthew Passion. I can't get it out of my head. Quite why a lugubrious baroque piece like that should put me in mind of birdies, grass rizzing or whatever it's meant to do and the joys of Spring is quite beyond me. Never mind. I'm sure there's some deep meaning in it somewhere.
