I feel many of you who know me should sit down before reading this.
Today I was outside gardening in just a tshirt (and trousers)
I know for months I have complained of the rain, sleet, snow and hail (well that might just have been last week 
) but today summer has arrived.
It was around 16 degrees and to me it felt boiling. I enjoyed the gardening too. Hopefully my summer will last a few months 
but I suspect not.
In other news we think our swallows have come back to their nest as they've been hanging around 
The photo is a zebra shark, taking at Skegness aquarium, his name confused me too.

We are having temperatures in the 70+ range in Fahrenheit, which is moderately hot. I can sort of see stripes on your zebra shark.

Hopefully, I hate to think of the south of our respective countries stealing all the sun

86 sounds nice, it's rare it gets that warm up here, Janet might occasionally get it in her neck of the woods, I'm too far north and too near the coast, but on the plus side now 16 nearly feels like that to me big hugs

I can understand complaints when it is not summer. I like sun and gardening.
