Photos: Wi-fi in the great outdoors

The sun is shining: It's a perfect day to be in the park: sunny with plenty of fluffy clouds and a pleasant breeze. However conditions are not quite so perfect for mobile working as the glare makes it very tricky to see what's on my laptop screen - apart from the dust that is.

After squinting and peering hopelessly through years of screen grime, and finally resorting to moving desks to gain shade from a nearby tree, I'm eventually up and running, and connected to the wi-fi.

However, it still takes me a good half an hour to get settled in the outdoor office as unfamiliar surroundings are inevitably distracting. And while I did remember my sunglasses, I start to wish I'd brought some sun cream or at least a hat...
