Good day all. It’s been a mixture of sunshine & showers today, but definitely warm. I glance through thread titles and sometimes look if I think something might be interesting. I’m often disappointed by the ‘ranting’ of people who have only been encouraged in their bias towards Scotland by ‘the powers that be’ over the last 10 or so years. I enjoy hearing others thoughts and opinions and thoroughly dislike all of this nonsense. More to be pitied than laughed at or encouraged in their uninformed beliefs. Enjoy your evening.
Good Morning Folks,rain rain rain here and it looks set to be here for the rest of the day,intended on cutting the grass too…reprieved :lol:
Aye it’s a crazy old World We live in right enough Baz,and You’re right about the religious stuff here in Scotland,I was just laughingly commenting to My Neighbour whos Catholic,that at least one good thing has come about re’ covid 19 virus,the orange walks which disrupt Our Towns & Cities every year,won’t be allowed this year because of it,then I heard on the radio the marchers intend to do a virtual one with Their webcams etc’,some said They would march in full regalia on Their treadmills:lol:…Oh gawd!..I almost wet Myself laughing at that bit o’ nonsense,
Have a good peaceful Sunday all and keep safe wherever You are,xxx
Good morning ladies and Baz, if you pop in. May I couldn’t imagine a web cam procession. It will be peaceful in Glasgow for a change. Raining here this morning so don’t know what to get up to. Probably wrap up and go for a walk later.
Morning, Rain then sun then rain again so far this morning. Went to the beach with the daft dog who plunged straight into the cold waves, as if he wasn’t wet enough. Sheeeze.
Rest of the day in the house I think, to wet to be outside. Have a peaceful Sunday…
Just ‘popped in’ to say good morning (just) to all of you in Scotland. 
Not as hot down here today, very windy and it’s been raining too. The gardens do need the rain as do the agricultural farms round here so shouldn’t complain I guess.
Thanks all for your comments on my recent post, interesting to read that we have similar thoughts despite us coming from different ends of the country. 
Enjoy your day all of you whatever you may be doing.
Afternoon Folks,still drizzling down here and cold with it…I had to put the heating on,jeeze!
It was great to have some of the clan here for a roast chicken lunch and a good catch-up with the gossip…fab’
I thought You had gone to Your house in Perth Roxy or is it next week?
I haven’t stuck My nose out the door today except to take the bins out for collection tomorrow…Daughter brought a lovely choc’ cake so I’ll scoff a slice or two of that for My tea later…See Ye A’ later.xxx
May, We’re driving down late Thursday night. The Travel Restrictions end on the 3rd so we’re safe to go and if the A9 Police pull us over we’re ok and they can’t make us return.

Ok May…Haste Ye Back. :hug:
Hi all. Weather much the same with me, dry this morning, some rain & a bit heavy at times in the afternoon. It is a bit chillier May but haven’t resorted to turning the thermostat up. I don’t actually put the heating OFF at all. Just allow it to come on if the temperature falls below the usual ‘comfortable’ level. Sorry your feeling some pain May. The damp weather won’t help either. Don’t stay away too long. I’ve just found you talking my language & we need all the voices of reason that we can find these days. Virtual ‘marches’ - the mind boggles. Have a good evening.
Morning, Got drenched again this morning when out with the dog, so much for summer. I try not to look at the lawns as they are now really long and aren’t drying out enough for them to be cut. Sheeeeze.
Lot to do today, got a hospital appointment, and have to go into town. Have a nice day.
Good morning ladies and Baz. May sorry to hear your in pain with typing on the laptop. Beki I only the heating at this time of year if its really cold. Roxy you’ll be looking forward to going home for a wee break. It never stopped raining yesterday but I did manage a walk. I hate Sundays when their is nothing to do. Housework and then a bit of shopping.
Good afternoon all. I hope this isn’t the ‘end of summer’. I have enjoyed having the time & inclination to get the garden under control and not having to plan around the weather. Maybe we’re just getting a wee break from all of that tiring heat! It’s been raining all day with some wind as well. A bit chillier too. I tackled a job I’d put off for ages, scanning old photos. This isn’t the bulk of my old photos but some of my parents and siblings which I want to send to them. The next bit is checking how they have scanned & moving them to the external hard drive after I email them. Weather not looking too good for the next couple of weeks (hope they’ve got that wrong) so I will have plenty of time for indoor pursuits I think. Enjoy your day.
Good Morning Roxy,Jessie,Beki,& Baz,back on briefly to see how the wrist/thumb works…I use a sock filled with rice which I put in the microwave for 1 minute or so then leave it on the painful joint 'til it cools,then apply a frozen pack of peas,alternate a few times a day and it usually does the trick.
I’m happy to see the R number for covid19 in Scotland is between 0.6 & 0.8 so can only hope it keeps going down.
…would hate to have to go into lockdown again after a taste of freedom!
Weather’s cloudy with more threat of rain here but not as chilly as the last couple of days…see Ye A’ later.xx
Good morning from ‘out in the rural sticks’ here ‘down south’ to all of you in Scotland.
Hope the pain in your wrist May improves, I see you use a laptop and also mention pain in your neck and shoulder so wonder if bad posture is causing strain when using it. I’ve been on computers and keyboards for the last 40 years and always had it drummed into me the importance of good posture to avoid RSI. Also looking after my eyesight by not continually looking at a screen, the way to avoid this is to every few minutes just glance over the top of the screen at something in the distance, that prevents the eye muscles from being strained.
Anyway to the weather – it’s overcast here ‘down south’. A dry and bright morning with light outbreaks of light rain or drizzle this afternoon is the forecast. Maximum temperature 20ºC.
Plenty to choose from for what to do today. Always some task, mundane or otherwise to do though.
Enjoy your day everybody, whatever you may be doing.
Good morning ladies and Baz. May I think we all have our own way with dealing in pain. Beki I must admit I’m missing the sunshine. Baz I have the joy of waiting for the engineer to service the boiler today. I never went in any of the shops yesterday to see what they are like. I’ll wait a few days and see how I feel.
Good morning all. It is a bit cloudy but really quite warm. Maybe that was because I dropped the car at the garage for a service & walked home (2 miles). I will walk back to collect it around lunchtime. Hope the rain stays away. I won’t be rushing to shop as everywhere will be busy at first. Neither do I need or want anything. I’m fortunate that family shops for me so I just pop out for a change of scenery from time to time. I know what you mean about eye strain Baz. I spend so long on my laptop at times that I have blurred vision. Blinking also helps as we tend not to blink when concentrating on the screen. Have a good day.
Morning, Started off nice n sunny and I did a wash and pegged it out…Mistake. I’m belting in n out the back door to see if the rains on or off, don’t want to have to do it all again. Been watching some of the Janey Godley vids of Nicola’s daily updates, man they are a scream.
