It was slightly cooler with the breeze while swimming later on this afternoon but I live in Northern Ireland so I'm not gonna complain!

Crikey! Where's the damn snow? Has climate change ruined the fun?

Kidding 😉

We only got one week of winter where I live. To put that in perspective winter is anything colder than 20C (68F), used to have at least a few more. Summer is going to be fun.

Yeah, it's all a bit mad tbh, I do wish I'd applied more sunscreen for this "height of winter" weather...

The weather is insane in Australia. It's good all the time.

I said to my girlfriend "honestly it worth the skin cancer for this weather." She laughed and said "I know what you mean"

The standard of living is just so much better when most days are a good day to be outside, rather than looking forward to a few weeks or a few lucky weekends a year. No long dark winters. It's insane. I'm not sure I can live like I used to.

Even if you die young you have lived more because you have managed to do things rather than be stuck at home.
