Good spot, hadn't seen that and was trying to remember back to Sunday as didn't recall it being that sunny. This week definitely looks good, got to be pushing 3.5 I reckon for some, maybe not Reading just yet.

Glorious day today, slightly surprised when I saw it was only a 3.0, certainly caught the sun today finishing off the veg patch. First strawberry flowers showing now, think we might be eating rhubarb for a while for dessert!

Yep, 4.3 for Reading and the same today. A bit more cloud forecast for tomorrow - although honestly today's cloud forecast was wrong. It's been sunshine for much of the day.

Have fun tomorrow.

On the river today, trout were few and far between but a lovely day, saw my 1st Swallow of the year. Had a long sleeve top on because of the UV but my face did get a light tinge to it. Shame I have to work tomorrow and Wednesday but the study door will be open with a few trips outside no doubt...

Actually Tierra just seen a Beeb forecast suggesting Saharan dust (& stunning sunrise/sunsets) so the UV may reduce but you might get the beauty of the day (depending on your work hours, of course).

No hirondelles here yet- love a swallow or martin at this time of year.

I seem to predict when it's going to be high UV by booking a day on the river again. 

The Aussie SWMBO is running the half at the Hampshire Hoppit tomorrow at Watership Down and it should be another strong sun day. Thankfully she was brought up wearing 50+ every day in Oz given even Melbourne hits an 11, I remember being in Cairns in a 15... brutal!
