NOTE ON PICTURES: This shouldn't be necessary but I have, sadly, noticed growing cases. Please DO NOT link directly to pictures on this website - it steals my bandwidth and is BAD! I CAN trace you if you do and I will take action.

Sunny :)
What an absolutely gorgeous day it was yesterday :) All of us spent pretty much the whole day outside in some form or another - it was just such bliss to feel proper hot sun!
I pottered about hanging up washing to dry (got loads washed and dried!), did some gardening, played with the kids and just sat for a bit - about 10 minutes - and got a rather red back as I was only wearing a little strappy top! I should have been more careful really - I'm very fair skinned and having been under wraps for months on end I don't think it knew what hit it :(
Tim got the foul job of cleaning the old sand and rainwater slime out of the kids sandpit in readiness for refilling (last year I did it and it was gross so it was definately his turn!) April had a bowl of soapy water and a sponge and washed all the buckets and spades and stuff and left them on the path in the sun to dry.
Rosie, my little naturalist, was bug hunting and found millipedes, a
dead beetle (which she's brought inside and put somewhere to view under
the microscope), woodlice and a funny little thing called a click
beetle. 
This little bug made us laugh because, if it feels threatened, it
pretends to be dead (for aaaaages!) and then lets off a loud "CLICK!"
and jumps straight up into the air *laughs* She put it on her hand and
we all had to wait and wait and wait for it to jump :)
Anyway, after all that lovely sunshineness yesterday, today ..... it's raining .... hey ho.
PS - Oooo! don't forget - tonight, BBC2, 8p.m SPRINGWATCH!! Hmm... Springwatch with Chris Packham instead of Bill Oddie .... Hmmm.
