GP on the BBC this morning parroting the oft-heard “stay indoors between 11 and 3 because the sun is hottest then”. The sun is *most intense* then, that’s the time of day you’re most at risk of sunburn. The hottest part of the day is usually between 4-6. Thinking you’re safer at 5 is daft.

Vivid memories of 1640s re-enactment on Mull, c.2010, when our Redcoats spotted a 3-masted ship & fired muskets from clifftop- to our delight, it fired a small cannon back at us, we fired more volleys- and it dipped its *Dutch* flag in surrender!! Spontaneous and perfect :)
