Feast day of Brigid of Ireland, patron saint of printing presses and chicken farmers. Also, Severus of Avranches, patron saint of weavers and wool manufacturers, in whose honour I window-shopped today. And, 121st birthday of the OED. Happy birthday, beloved!

We have had three days of brilliant sunshine and moderate temperatures, and I am in a glad mood because of it. For the past two days I have driven to work with windows lowered, belting out songs by James and The Walkmen, and taken spirited midday walks with a decided spring in my step. I have a good feeling about February.
