I’m pleased to see that Sky Movies Comedy is showing Groundhog Day today. Nothing but Groundhog Day, on a loop.

We’re warching Midsomer Murders, though.

If there had been a groundhog in Oxford today it would definitely have been able to see its shadow; it was bright and sunny enough that my solar-powered fairy lights actually came on. (Solar-powered fairy lights turn out not to be a great idea, as there’s rarely enough sunlight at the time of year when you want fairy lights to cheer you up.) I don’t know whether groundhog-based superstitions have much bearing on the weather in a groundhog-free country, though.

I went there in the 1960s. But I don't remember how, or whether, we celebrated the eponymous saint!
