Meat free Mondays

According to Paul McCartney (and the world's leading climate scientist, but obviously Paul thought of it first) we should all be encouraged to go 'meat free' for one day a week for the sake of saving the planet by reducing carbon emissions.
I myself would find it more of a challenge to eat meat everyday anyway, as many of my weekly meals are meat-free.
I am all for supporting these schemes if the experts (not Sir Paul) believe it could truly make a difference, but I am now wary of the supermarkets raising the cost of non-meat products and making us pay more for our environmentally friendly diets.
We will have to wait and see if this catches on.

Heatwave induced slump

Being typically fair-skinned and British, I am not coping very well with the current hot weather! After sitting out in the sun for a picnic for an hour or so at the weekend I had to retreat to the shade with pink shoulders.
Having popped to the tennis centre for a meeting this afternoon, I couldn't even contemplate sitting watching a match let alone running around on a sun-soaked court.
I was put to shame by all the lean, bronzed legs wandering about so there are benefits to their dedication to the sport!
