It is still a little chilly outside to be on the beach, but Fulham seem to manage it earlier each year.
It could be worse, of course. Having virtually nothing to play for means you are not scrapping for every point at the bottom of the table. And all Fulham fans are thankful for that.
But it does mean there is little sense of jeopardy going into games now – and there is a general feeling that we just need to wrap this campaign up and start looking towards next season.
Sunday's game against Nottingham Forest felt like that – from a Fulham fan’s perspective at least. Forest are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the league, but we arrived at the City Ground with little to aim for.
Seventh – and Europe – is mathematically possible, but it would take a huge uptick in form with some tough fixtures on the horizon.
And the scoreline – a goalless draw – reflected the inertia among Fulham fans.
It is our topsy-turvy form that has kept us at the back of the pack racing for Europe. Four wins and five losses since our last league draw tells the story perfectly.
But perhaps more worryingly, we are without a goal in three games.
A win against Burnley next weekend would no doubt reignite talk of the Europa League or Conference League, but with Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal coming up, and a west London derby against seventh-placed Brentford in the middle of it all, we have a mountain to climb.
It may all be unlikely, but we are all still dreaming that Fulham swap this trip to the seaside for some midweek jaunts to Europe.
