Yeah, .... those of you who haven't been to Scotland but have the received wisdom notion that the weather here is changeable,.... are quite right. Sometimes we Scots like to dispel the myth that the weather here is all over the place, but I think today I want to re-enforce that. On Tuesday I got sunburned in the park - it was a scorcher. Today, I have under-layers on and a nice warm coat,... buttoned right up to the neck.
But its the tourists that I probably feel most sorry for. They come on their european tours in the middle of summer fully expecting a little warmth,... even in Edinburgh. But today they were cowering in the wind and creeping around looking for shelter. Respect to the Japanese painting and drawing group whom I spotted bravely perched around the Royal Mile, artistically absorbing St Giles and the rest of the city scape. But it surely can't be easy to paint with gloves on?

You are having autumn; we are having a monsoon...
Will you manage to make it down to the flatlands at all this summer?

hi a!
thanks for the comment. yes, autumn persists - damn it. i'm sure as soon as i get a summer job - then summer will actually come and i'll be couped up in an office somewhere. grrr.
yes, i'd love to make it down to see you all, but i'm not sure when time will allow. perhaps after the festival in early september. that might be the easiest time,... and i may have saved a little money by then.

The Icelandic summer weather is like that too. Haven't had any wind yet but everything else, hail snow sun rain clouds cold warm
