That sucks. You probably wouldn't care to know that the daffodils are about to bloom here and the leaves are unfurling on our willow tree...

Hehe, you should hear my car interior, and springs, when it's below -20C and I'm on a bumpy road, or going over speed bumps. It's a squeak squeak of the springs, and gentle bending sound of brittle dash/interior parts). I briefly imagine I'm in a track-prepped 911 GT3
