Hello Summer!

Have had a great weekend. It's been filled with sunshine. As I rub my eyes with exhaustion I am greeted with the familiar smell of summer - sand and sunblock.

We had a picnic lunch in the tropical garden section of the park and hired a paddleboat on the lake today. I don't know what it is about over here, but when it's warm, it feels bloody hot. It was 26 degrees, but felt closer to 36 degrees. Most people you talk to say the same thing.

But as expected as soon as the mercury is over 20, all the English geezers take their tops off, so it's a sea of pasty white skin.
