Quick ride out first (while the sun is shining).

I've spent the day driving the safety boat at our sailing club. Some of our junior members were out enjoying a brisk wind. Watching them throw themselves around the boat made me feel very old. When they get to start racing I'd better retire before I get slaughtered.

Good morning

Shame it's raining, hopefully though, this means I can get a couple of hours working on the bike instead of working on the farm.

But rain can be beautiful.... 

Not in Fife though, what you need is to be somewhere tropical

Good morning 

Wet here too!

Grandchildren are inbound!

Think I might go out for the day!

Welcome back husoi, you looked like you had a great trip, pity its still raining here, no sign of the hot summer we're supposed to have, at least my veggies in the garden love the weather!!

So do the slugs and snails with which I am conducting total war.

[S-Westerly]

We're cultivating a slow worm as he seems to enjoy eating the snails and I've invested in nematodes to work on the slugs.

I thought it was supposed to be summer! Where's the bloody global warming then? 6 C this morning and pissing down with rain. Filthy weather.

Yep. Same. Two mistakes this morning: not setting off before the rain arrived and not wearing the fully waterproof boots.

My mistake was wearing my summer gear to go north on Sunday. Waterproof over trousers aren't waterproof anymore. At least the jacket still is. My only sensible decision was to take winter weight goretex gloves but even with them I had the heated grips on full blast. Wore 3 layers under my jacket and was still cold.
