On the 20th of April we were exactly ⅔ the way through April. I would say that the second third of April is the middle of Spring, the last part of spring will be during May.
My son Jacob's birday is in the middle of April, in the middle of Spring. He is now 2 years old. Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral was on my son's birthday, he died a week before from age related health issues. I celebrated my son's birthday with a small amount of pity in mind because they were married for decades. A day after my son's birthday, the Inginuity drone flew on Mars, it was the first powered flight on another planet that we know of. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin so the rotor blades had to spin very fast but they managed to fly after a software glitch the previous week had been fixed.
My brother brought his Oculus virtual reality headset with him and let me try it for the first time. It was the first time I used an untethered high quality virtual reality head set, I was very impressed. I like the idea of playing golf in virtual reality. You can teleport to the ball and the weather is always perfect and you can play when it suits you, like at three in the morning.
Lockdown ended in the UK during the second third of April and I saw queues similar to ones outside Northern rock bank when they declared themselves bankrupt. The queues zig zagged down the whole street.
I keep my chin up for a happy spring and summer.
