Tick tock...

Some things don't have a battery and have no idea know what GMT is or use Outlook to set them a reminder.

For the last five of the six years I've lived here they have arrived on the 23rd of April, uncanny really. I noticed the date the first year as it was a friends birthday. It's a sure sign and a natural marker summer is just down the line sometime very soon.They were late this year. Might cut them a bit of slack as they don't use public transport, have a passport or wear a watch. The humble Swallow has arrived. I asked myself why today especially on a damp day in Ayrshire. Then again  they've been doing it longer than I've been here so must have reason enough.
