Another delightful day here up in the hills on the farm with plentiful sunshine, warm temperature and a gentle breeze that swung about in direction between due east and south-southwest. A perfect day to erect the picnic table that I bought for younger daughter as a thank-you for looking after me over the last week. I didn’t do any of the work obviously, but I supervised in a highly professional supervisory capacity.

A nice afternoon in the sunshine with Spanish daughter, who was discussing fashion trends with Woolma, while I interacted with nature, wildlife, beer and stuff. Then I came inside and saw a lying toad on the news. It’s all go here. Temperature got up to 15⁰C but felt warmer in my little suntrap, breeze remained light from the south-southwest, and an occasional cloud decorated the blue Spring sky. More of this would be nice.

I've had a couple of clouds delivered just to break up an otherwise clear blue sky and I'm enjoying them from my seat at the back door where the breeze from yesterday has mostly gone and the temperature is around 13C. There's a book of birds on my knee from which I'm trying to decide whether the small, pointy winged speedbird I saw early this morning was a swift, a swallow or a house martin. Such a busy day.

Sunshine and showers this morning with broken overcast and a constant breeze that's swung round overnight from southeast to southwest. My watch says it's 9C. My watch also tells my blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, body composition and can record an ECG. I assume it tells the time too but I haven't found that menu yet. I use my phone to tell the time. Ah, such is progress.

I am up and about at my new/temporary/interim location on the farm 198 metres up in the East Renfrewshire hills to the east of Uplawmoor and can report another grey day, a bit breezy, temperature around 12⁰C and with very light drizzle currently. In other news, the chickens are out, the sheep are out and my stitches are out, so all is well.

The clouds never completely cleared but then the blue bits have stuck around all say too. Overall effect was bright and sunny. Reports of it having stayed cold though. Meanwhile my chest drain has been removed and lungs are reacting well so far. I suggested they should put a manhole in as preparation for a reinstatement if necessary, but apparently they dont do that.

The view from the ward window this morning includes a horizon line and, above that, bits of blue that suggest it could be a nice day coming. The arriving day shift tell me yhat it's "literally freezing" though, but whether "literal" is to be taken in the literal sense or just a figure of speech will likely remain unknown. Meanwhile, the imaginary zoo in my head has just completed feeding time as the morphine round went through.

I was born in that neck of the woods because my dad was building the Ale Water Dam at the time. How cool is that?! A reservoir full of beer. Meanwhile, weather here improving and we now have sunshine and shadows. Partly. Also, despite my drain being clamped, my lung is still inflated and holding. No, I've no idea what that means either but the staff smile when they say it so it obviously pleases them.

Weather here is grey, damp, cold and dreich, so it's probably best that my grand tour of west Scotland health facilities has been cancelled due to an institutional covid outbreak preventing travel. Whether the outbreak is here, there or somewhere else isn't clear but I can see I've wasted that money on the Paul Murton hat.
