Through Yonder Window Breaks

My goodness! What is this yellow stuff pouring through the window and saturating the teatowel with its illumination? Surely, a week after the equinox and a whole three days before Eostre, the sun hasn't just suddenly remembered that it needs to be somewhere important (i.e. the sky)?

Those with a good memory may note that I have recently been reading A Game Of Thrones. In it, the characters keep banging on about how winter in their world lasts for an entire generation. I know how they feel.
