It's all your fault then!
Yes and I bought some moisturiser the other week with factor 50 sunblock in it and that’s been another success.

Get the short sleeved jerseys out and we are all doomed.
I'll admit it is all my fault as I rode in shorts a couple of weeks ago.

A pretty minor fettle from me tonight. After last week's failed attempt to run the Varia upside down; I bought a proper saddle mount and fitted that tonight.
It's not me in the photo, but it was me who moved all the components to thr replacement frame and set the bike up.

My Ridley Fenix SL has done a fair few miles over the winter, including a very wet Chirk 200km audax last month. It's needed a new chain, plus other bits, for a while and I lost the rear mudflap whilst going through a flood during the audax.
Over the past week or so it's had a thorough clean, new rear RAW Squiggle mudflap, new chain, Dura-Ace jockey wheels cleaned and greased and new rear Swissstop brake pads. I've also taken the opportunity to fit a pair of used Swissside Gotthard wheels with new GP5000 25mm tyres which combined are definitely lighter than the DT Swiss P 1800 wheelset with GP5000 AS 28mm tyres that I've been using over the winter.
That should keep it ready for Spring / Summer / Autumn use when it's a bit too cold and/or damp for my summer road bike.

After the rear mudguard on my Brommie gave way on yesterday's ride, I've removed it to see if it's salvageable. The two rivets/bolts connecting the bracket have given way and wobbled a hole in the mudguard.
I've ordered a new one which should arrive in a few days.
In the meantime, I'll ride it 'as is' as the weather is OK.
