For me it’s hearing the first Great Tit singing. There are some trees outside my office window and I hear one there every spring (presumably not the same one as I’ve worked there 20 years 😁) - when I first heard it this year I even phoned my colleague in the office directly above mine to check she could hear it too so it was ‘ official’ 😁2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07

Ant powder down and ant traps.
They're bustling round trying to make nests.
On the up side I moved some stone near the wall and found the 3 big snails that have been eating my pansies.
They are going on a flight over the fence shortly. No tests needed.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
