Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Brandane]

For those who don't regularly look at the Advocacy section of the forum I would like to draw your attention to a petition to the Scottish government regarding Presumed Liability.
I do hope many of you will feel able to lend your support to this petition.

Done.

I think I've already done it, didn't give me the option to sign it like it usually does

They promised us it would be dry and sunny today, with a light westerly breeze.
So ........... why is it greyer than a grey thing out there, with showers, cold, and windy enough to bend the tree branches?? I knocked back an agency shift today on the strength of the forecast .
June? . It's less than 3 weeks until midsummers day; then it's all downhill again.......

They said on the wireless this morning that the fresh snow on the hills in recent days is "exceptional".
That doesn't make it feel any better for me

Sunny over this side, but not warm, and that wind thing is still more January than June.

Every cycle to work I've done for the last month has been into a headwind of varying strengths. Does that mean a taily on the way home? No chance

Sunny with a slight breeze here in middle earth. Really fun few hours on the bike , even stopped for a cone

This tree was still upright on my commute home last night, when the wind was supposedly easing!

It's on the Warriston path in Edinburgh North. Council have been tweeted and responded that they are on the case.

That's some bunny hop

Well to be fair, it did improve! I went out on two wheels (but with an engine to assist) and went to Moffat. Couldn't believe the difference a relatively short distance makes. It was sunny and warm with a light breeze. People wandering about in T shirts, and a few cyclists about too. Back on the bike and headed north, next stop Lanark loch, where it was grey and cold again! Now back in Ayrshire where the sun has decided to make its monthly appearance.
