    My RTBC today are two fold. 
    Firstly, yesterday I watched 3 blue tits leave the nest box opposite the kitchen window.
    Secondly , I have a fabulous, all over tan after all this lovely weather.
    I'd like some rain now, but in the hours of darkness would be ideal.

    I'd be worried about sunburn on those areas not normally exposed.

    The irony is that "those bit" never burn, but my nose always burns. It's out there 24 / 7 all year, you'd think it'd by tough as old boots.

    We went to the South of France some years ago and one of the people we met decided to be brave and go on the nudist area of the beach.  They didn't pluck up the courage until the day before they were returning home.  When we saw them on the morning of their return trip they were walking rather carefully.  They actually had a sunburnt backside.  That would be bad enough if they were flying home, but they had a 24 hour coach trip to look forward to.  His missus was less than sympathetic.

    There are just some things you shouldn't do naked eh?
    ...
    Ironing (depends on how high the board is)
    Frying anything that spits
    Sky diving
    Pruning any spiky plant
    ...

    ...are a few that spring to mind.

    I'm cheerful because I'm about to spend 10 days in Finland, starting with a vocal music festival.   :)  However, my new strawberry bed is just about to produce a bumper crop... nice for the neighbours...   :|

    Have a lovely time @Liriodendron.

    I'm cheerful because it's actually been raining at long last, not quite as long as I would have liked but better than nothing.
