I'm a bit late rising this morning, so this may have been mentioned already.
Isn't it the first day of Spring today....Vernal Equinox and all that ?

Boo....I have a niece like that....never wears a coat, because it isn't "cool" She won't wear one even when its freezing, let alone pouring down.
She is, how do I phrase it, "full of breast" and everything is on display and not covered up as well as her Uncle would like !
I have told that she faces getting chilblains in her chesty bits, but to no avail. She will, under sufferance, use a very small umbrella.
As you say....daft cow ! Why are women so bloody vain ?

"Vernal Equinox and all that ?"
A not-so-straightforward topic, Mikey.
Today is indeed the Spring Equinox. At 10:29am today the Sun (which appears to move daily from the south to north of the sky between December 21st and June 21st) crossed the “Celestial Equator” (an imaginary line above the Earth’s equator). If you lived on the Equator, tomorrow the Sun would appear to be in the northern half of the sky where it will remain until September 21st (or thereabouts) when it will appear to move back to the southern half of the sky. But the term “equinox” (referring to equal day and night) does not apply to today. The period between sunrise and sunset today is 12h 10m 48s. The nearest the length of the day got to 12 hours was on March 17th when it was 11h 58m 53s. On March 18th it was 12h 02m 52s. At the moment the length of the day is increasing by almost 4 minutes daily. This rate of increase will diminish towards the longest day. These numbers are relevant to London. In the summer days are longer the farther away from the Equator you travel.
I told you it was not straightforward but I really must try to get out more now that the evenings are becoming longer. :-)
