Another in the chain of gloriously sunny days with a lightish breeze from the northeast and temperatures in the sun of 15C. I feel a barbecue coming on.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Warmish by afternoon with plenty sunshine but a stiffish breeze that mostly kept me inside.

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.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

The consensus among the weather apps is that it's around 17°C and the sun is shining through a very thin overcast so it feels very pleasant, even more so as I'm sitting out the way of a briskish breeze. No sign of rain so far.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Sunshine! We've got some bloody sunshine! I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever see the day.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Grey, grey, grey, breeze has swung round to the southeast, rain has stayed off, remains cool.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

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.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Slept most of the day so only have a fleeting impression of grey overcast, breezy and cool to report. Nice to be in a comfortable bed though.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

The grey veil has been pulled down across the landscape, dragging most of the colour away and leaving a very subdued view, not ugly but then again not exactly spring like.

Oh, and I'm getting out today, which is nice.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Back to grey today, easterly breeze but warming into double figures, I'm told.

Possibly for the first time ever, I'm being told that I'm not drinking enough. If they'd give you something worth drinking things might be different.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

The ward windows are all open and a brisk, chilly breeze is blowing the covid bugs away. Bad day to be dressed only in a surgery gown. Another day of cumulus looking good in their sunshine highlights.

Another glorious spring morning...

I think im probably not the only one in here who has had enough of the cold and the snaw for now.

 

Hold on a minute. Intruder Alert!!! Identify yourself stranger, and what have you done with the real Mair Snaw?

Sun is out here, shining off the big, manly looking cumulus towers and making for a dramatic vista from the ward window. Cool though at a reported 9°C.

Puffy, if they won't let you oot then we can visit you. We'll bring shovels. Or would it be better to go Over the Wall... any pole vaulters in here?

I think all the pole vaulters are in Warsaw trying to help Ukrainian refugees into the UK asylum seekers' compound. You know, the one with a high fence and no entry gates....

[Scotland Weather discussion]

A distinct horizon line is in place and colour is beginning to dissolve through the earlier greyness. We might yet have a nice day but it looks cold yet.

Today I will commence negotiations towards my release.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

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.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

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.

No but you have a river of beer (it says here)!

 

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.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Judging by the wind turbine on the hill over there, it's still windy, but the direction must have changed because the banshees are banished. The sky is a light uni-tone grey overcast and a horizon line is evident. Not raining currently. That's the view for this morning 

Meanwhile, I've been clamped.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

There is definitely sunshine on the tops of some of them clouds. Then again, there are still howling banshees whistling around the badly fitting windows on this ward.

Meanwhile I've decided to get majorly plastered.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

The view from the ward window this morning includes a horizon line. Whoop whoop! Also my x-ray this morning appears to show a completely reinflated lung, which is fab news. Not all inflation is bad.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

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.
