Another sunset

 Even more dramatic.

I am very pleased that this photo shows it as it was...at 21.50 BST..

Lots of bitty jobs today, but the best was shed painting...which side of which shed dictated by where the shade was!

At last we have a summer up here...and it goes overboard and gives us a heatwave!! Which here in Scotland is three days in a row over 25⁰C!

It does nothing by halves any more

Mill walk

 

Lunchtime, so what do we do? Go for a walk as it was dry!! Bright sunshine....and a cuttingly cold gusty breeze.

We walked around our usual road route, taking it clockwise this time to get a tailwind up the last hill!

At Millmannoch they have cleared the lead, the  flow to the millwheel being on the left of the picture, the overflow on the right

Then looking over the road the overflow is left of picture.

Pirate found that the farmer had moved out and old seed drill... hopefully not for scrap...

We got home with only one sprinkling of hail...but I think we will get more than that tomorrow!

I am thinking of my daughter and family....in West Wales on an Amber wind alert...and from 7am, the Carpenter and family are in a Red weather alert area with possible wind strength of 90 to 200mph., As is the Oily One..and his lady lives in Cardiff Bay....

A bit of winter

 

At least the days are getting longer...the showers are cold and hard, but we caught an hour mostly dry at dusk. We could just see Arran...and it looked as if they were getting a heavy shower.

The new mitts are growing slowly. Last time I used the pattern I turned a flat pattern to one knitted in the round...I can't find where I wrote the changes.....So this time I am recording it as I go!

I am not complaining about the wintery weather. As the climate changes, we aren't having enough of it and when it does come it is short sharp and destructive.  Flowers are a month to six weeks ahead, birds are getting twitterpated, and even have fledglings already...so if we do get some real winter weather you can imagine what will happen.
