When the sun is shining it can seem like the ideal time to get cracking on all those jobs around the house that you just couldn't raise the enthusiasm for during the drizzly, gloomier months – I know my motivation for beautifying my own home definitely comes out of hibernation once the clocks go forward.
That said, what I have also found is that even seemingly easy DIY projects can end up going disastrously wrong on a hot summer's day – not just because it is too sweltering to put in the effort required (flashback to building the garden deck on the hottest day of the year a while back), but also because high temperatures just don't suit certain DIY tasks.
