    Relatively sunny in South Edinburgh - got out for a run which I wasn't expecting to be able to do given the forecast.
    Mon the Hibs.

    It’s not new, or complicated. Listen to your granny. ‘Cast Nairy a Cloot till May be Oot’.

    I think that's supposed to be about may flowers, the blossom on hawthorns, and they are oot already, or just coming oot.

    Voting not so easy for some. This is 10 miles away from me.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    I think that’s originally correct, but all gardeners will tell you the hawthorn didn’t used to come out until much later than it does now, and does regardless refer to this time of year, so the saying should defeat the attention of pedants

    The worrying thing is that generally the best of the good weather in Scotland comes around this time of year, if that continues this year it’s going to be a brutal summer. The highest temperature in Edinburgh so far has been around 15C, last year and most years before that we’ve had multiple 20+ days by now.

    United we stand here....

    Was outside for about 30 mins yesterday and my hands were pink.

    I think we're on course for some sort of record as to the furthest into the year we've got without breaking 20C.

    cloot = cloth
    ne'er = never
    may is oot = the mayflower (hawthorn blossom) is in bloom

    Mother Earth is fighting back. First COVID, now climate change.

    Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of "What's Goin' On?" by Marvin Gaye. As he sings in The Ecology Song, "How much more abuse from man can she stand?"


    Here endeth the hippyness.
