As hoped, I gave the lawns their first haircut of the year. Just a trim but they look much neater.
Indeed,initially a cloudy day was forecast and yet here I am sat in a sunny beer garden with friends. Wonderful!
That's the thing with the UK. After a dull, cold, wet, dreary winter, the first (less cold) sunny, cloudless sky day, everything (nearly) in the world is wonderful.
We use one of those as well. Fortunately most of our condensation occurs on the outside. If we didn’t use it, it would be lunchtime before we’d see out of the windowSo for the first time my recently bought Karcher window vacuum (other brands are available as they say on the BBC!) was put to good use and in a couple of minutes all the condensation was gone. Good start to the day and made me happy
Condensation on the outside? I must admit I've never heard of that before. I've just Googled it and it seems to tell me that it is a sign of good window performance - is that correct?We use one of those as well. Fortunately most of our condensation occurs on the outside. If we didn’t use it, it would be lunchtime before we’d see out of the window
Yes I believe it is.
Sunshine - tick.The sunshine these last few days has been phenomenally enjoyable, and there have been some nice trains to watch too over the weekend

I can't recall the last time I saw a hedgehog - as you wrote it is your "first of the year" does this mean you are fortunate enough to see them more than once a year?
In our garden I'd say I see around half a dozen a year. We are fortunate that we have woodland at one end of the garden, and our next door neighbour is a recluse who has left her garden unattended for over a decade, so it's got plenty of decent habitat for the hogs. Maybe should invest in a wildlife cam for the garden (though we are moving soon to somewhere I expect won't have nearly as much wildlife coming in).
Glad you enjoyed that. Simple things really do work, don't they. Sometimes I feel people can be too focused on major events in their lives to make them happy. I'm reminded of the song from the Jungle Book film -
