Spring is here! (Ft. rare sun sightings)

It's been exactly been 1 month since my first blog post. I started writing another blog post a few weeks ago but I just don't know how to carry it on. Since today is officially the start of spring, I decided to write about spring. Enjoy!!

Firstly, I thought that the first day of spring was on the 21st of March, not the 20th. But according to Google it is today. Lately, the weather has been getting warmer meaning that Summer is one step closer. I think that spring is a nice time of year, despite of the stereotypical-ness of 'April Showers'. It rains throughout the year anyway. Moving on, I like how the flowers pop up and to me it's very nice to spot them. The most common flower that comes here in the UK is the daffodil. I find it very interesting that you can get a couple different daffodils. For instance, you can get a dark, orange middle and a light yellow outer. Spring is pretty and sweet. It isn't too hot or too cold. It's the time of the year that it starts to become lighter and warmer. It's just........................

Today, in the UK was a Solar Eclipse. Although I don't live in the Northern part, I still experienced getting a bit darker. Unfortunately, it just had to be a cloudy day and it could have been better if the sun showed its face. Oh well. I got to see a bit of some of the live footage and see what it was like above the clouds. Apparently, the best places to see this partial eclipse was on the Faroe and Svalbard islands. The next partial eclipse available in the UK is in 2026 and the next full one is in 2090. I don't if I'll be alive or not but i don't want to think of it that way.

Thank you for reading this short blog post. I don't know when I'll write the next. I really do appreacaite you taking your time to rread this because this is just a small blog.
