    The Kelpies were very fine. The ride on the Falkirk Wheel was good although probably better if done as part of a boating holiday rather than the somewhat tourist thing we did.

    It's been a sunshine and showers type day but there's now yellow warnings of rainfall.

          This evening’s viewing was E2 of the Lockerbie thing

          And tonight’s reading was Just a Shot Away: Peace, Love, and Tragedy with the Rolling Stones at Altamont by Saul Austerlitz

          Wind’s windy out there

          Goodnight all

            Ah, we're back

            Morning denizens

            It's a gloomy grey day out and there's been a brief bit of drizzle. It's also pretty windy, so the current 19°C "feels like" 16° and the expected high is only 22°, for which much thanks. The barometers are up very slightly at 999/1007mB

              Morning all
              I almost did some work there while the system was down.

              Murky earlier, then the sun came out, but it's overcast again. No rain forecast.

                Where did we go? Most odd.

                Temperature 25.4 °C (expected 31°C later)
                Wind speed 4 km/h from SSE
                Wind gusts 6 km/h
                Humidity 63%
                Pressure 981 hPa

                The Rhine is currently warmer than our local lido. 25.3°C.

                  Morning.

                  Is it still Wednesday?

                  Dry.

                  Grey.

                  Wanly sunny.

                  Windy.

                  22.7 deg in here, 24 in the kitchen*, 21.5 in the leanto, 19 out the back.

                  *I didn't have my glasses on to read the thermometer. YMMV.

                    No idea! It was returning blank pages, but they were the result of a 500 Server Error. Then for a while it was working but every URL returned the home page - I’d not seen that one before!
