Amazing weather change

I didn't want to jinx things, but the day looks good enough that I am not going to worry. The weather here for the past three days has been unbelievably beautiful and warm. There's still a bit of breeze and it's cold in the shadows of buildings, but there are people shedding layers all around the city, especially on campus. Unlike Santa Cruz, there are no sunbathers in their swimsuits. But the edges of the cricket pitch (and any other grass area at Trinity, really) are surrounded by folks absorbing as much sun as they can handle. Lots of folks napping.

The other day Gabry and I watched as folks brought out Frisbees and foot-/soccer balls. Then we watched for the Trinity guards to come clear the field because every piece of grass at Trinity has a sign next to it about keeping off the grass. And they did appear eventually to push everyone to the edges of the grass. All it took was walking over and saying that they needed to move. It's amazing how cooperative folks are when they know they've broken a rule.

I am curious if things will cloud over in the late afternoon. It's Good Friday. My sisters and I noticed once in our youth that the sky always seemed to cloud over in the late afternoon-evening on Good Friday, no matter how gorgeous and warm the week or morning had been.
