So I'm sat outside in the hot sun, drinking a beer, listening to Black Uhuru, reading a comic, following the cricket, and following Scunthorpe's push for promotion to the Championship.
It's too hot for the time of year, but the hottest April day ever in the Netherlands was 1904. We're the hottest area in Europe this weekend. Alaska had the 3rd coldest March on record last month, so the ice pack is in better state than I'd expected. My bronchitis is fading again (and the Independent reports on the front page what I know - I need the sun to be really healthy!) Work's finished for the day, and with my laptop I could do it from home. Es & the kids are at the playground/shopping, so it's quiet.
This could, with a little luck, be a TRULY GLORIOUS SUMMER! (Caplocks hit by accident, but seemed serendipitous, so I'll leave it at that :-)
Oh, and as a belated afterthought - this happy moment has only cost me about 200K and up to 40 years of my life :-)
