PICTURE OF THE DAY: The sun is shining and it's gone to our heads

Three consecutive days of fine weather and the whole country goes mad. Mad, I tells you.

PICTURE OF THE DAY: The sun is shining and it's gone to our heads

You remember when you were a kid and it was sunny and you'd be hoping and praying that your teacher would let you have class outside?

Well, that - except 'the teacher' is your boss, 'class' is a Very Important Meeting and 'outside' is Portobello, Dublin this afternoon along the banks of the canal.

And yes, we've confirmed that it was an actual business meeting - held by staff of the Hilton Hotel Dublin, which is the building you can see in the background.

(Proper Sherlocks, aren't we?)

"It's a lovely day outside and we just thought we'd take advantage of the nice weather and have the meeting out on the grass," said a somewhat bemused Hilton spokesperson Louise Coyne, before presumably going down to the corner shop to order Loop The Loops for everyone.

"Somebody suggested it and we just thought 'why not?'"

Why not indeed. #welljel
