What an amazing spell of weather we've had lately!  Temperatures at this time of the year usually (so we're told) range from around 13 to 18 degrees C up and down the country.  How crazy that some places are hitting highs of up to 24 degrees and many places are consistenly breaking 20 degrees then.  We hit 21 today - real tee-shirt and shorts weather.  It didn't seem quite right to be watching a rugby match in such warmth!  The 'grass' is so dry that at times the boys kicked up a small dust storm.  Being tackled to the ground on this pitch must surely have hurt more than usual.

I had hoped to get a few action shots but duty calls and I had to go take a class.  This wee chap was there with his 'dad' apparently watching the game.......and feeling a little thirsty in the heat too!
