The sun has got his hat on!

Or at least he will this weekend, according to the weather people.

Which leads me to a grumble. Yes, really! Can I please go on the record as saying that here in Blighty every April, without fail, towards the end of the month we have a particularly warm spell. You know, mid 20's (is that high 70s?). And everyone goes crazy. And I mean crazy. People get their legs out, tops off, beers in the beer garden, convertibles are converted, and the entire population head to the beach. And people say "Ooh, isn't it nice, this April sunshine, and very unusual for this time of year". And I say "No it isn't."

Anyone who knows me, knows that I know that every year around this time we hit a warm spell and people act like it's 40 degrees in December or something. People, I am telling you once and for all, we get a warm spell every April. As Tom Jones would say " it's not unusual". Look in last years diary and I guarantee that you will have written something along the lines of

APRIL 28th - unusually sunny today, wore a skirt, got sunburnt. Ouch!

(For those of you planning your holidays in Britain this year, you'll also be pleased to know that we get a hot week towards the end of May. Other than that pack something wooly and waterproof. )

In other news...big hats off to the following dislikable members of the general public: Woman with toddler who scowled at me after I picked up her kids crisps after he had dropped them on the floor. That's right lady, teach your kids manners whilst they're still young AND woman with quite frankly gigantic permed hair who stood in front of me at a Kaiser Chiefs gig last week. Did you really need to keep shaking it in my direction? I can still taste the peroxide...
