Lazy Sunday afternoooooooooon

Thank Goodness, a lot more energy today!
Even dragged John outside for a walk on the beach in the drizzly rain, I know, madness, but this is Scotland and if you think Holland is a rainy place, think again!

At the moment it feels like there are only 2 types of weather here, it is either mild but wet, or dry but icy cold, there seems to be nothing in between unless of course you count the days that it is icy cold, raining *and* blowing a gale.

Not that I am complaining, lets call it stating a fact. This is Scotland, it must be the greenest country I have ever seen and that comes with a price, it can only be this green *because* of all the rain!

And it has its upsides too, it gives an excuse to NOT go outside and be a couch potato and the views are spectacular, because we have a free view over the Clyde estuary you can see rain coming miles away which means you can see bright sunshine on the left and dark grey curtain approaching on the right, beautiful.

A Scottish solicitor once made a joke when he was looking out our window. He says that an old Scottish saying is 'If you can see Arran, it will soon be raining', of course I immediately took the bite and said 'So what if you can't'? And he said 'If you can't see Arran, it already is'. :-)
