Sunday, Sun Day, Funday

Crazy to think that the last time we were getting the boys ready for a family day out, we were packing extra coats and a blanket. Today it's sun cream, hats and lots of water. And it's only two weeks later!
What annoys me about this lovely little spell of Summer (and I promise this is the only negative) is that the second it was reported that we would have nice weather, there had to be an announcement about a Heat Warning. Why can't they let us just enjoy the rare bit of heat when we get it? Why does there have to be some patronising, nanny-state infodump about staying in the shade and keeping hydrated? Honestly, there are times this country makes me want to staple my foreskin to a tree with embarrassment. Which is exactly why Philippa and I are actively looking into the idea of moving abroad.
But more on that later.
To compensate for my moaning, here's a few things I am ULTRA happy about right now:
It's half-term, so my boys have a break from schooling.
My work is hard, but it's FUN. It's about helping other people to have FUN, and that's FUN.
The new series of SpringWatch starts tomorrow!
It won't be dark at teatime for months yet.
The sea will soon be warm enough to swim in, and for the boys to play in.
I live in a beautiful area that is even more beautiful at this time of year.
I am still hopelessly in love, despite being with my wife for over a decade now.
We are about to have a lovely family day out in the sun, including a picnic!!!
