Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Pat "5mph"]

Well, it has certainly quieted down here, just rain at the moment.
I've got evening shifts today and tomorrow, shall jump on the heavy paper bike soon

I hardly hear my neighbors at all , think I am in Scotland's only well built new build block of flats. If someone didn't use my wheelie bin now and again I would think I was the only person here

Audio gram was last year, my hearing is only limited in soft spoken voices, not massive gusts of wind and

You are very lucky. Not only do I know when my downstairs neighbour visits the toilet, I also know what she is doing there . Can also hear light switches going on/off, phone ringing, yappy dog, etc.. Apparently it is the same for her (apart from the yappy dog as I don't have one. Substitute that for slightly loud music from me!). Just as well we get on, which wasn't the case with the last neighbour .

I slept through the 113mph gust. Have lost a couple of ridge tiles and slates from the house roof - but the bike shed survived

Sod this. Agency work would appear to have dried up, and not likely to pick up any time soon. I'm thinking an Edinburgh Cycle Co-Op bike bag (currently discounted) might be a good investment. Cheap holidays to Cyprus also available just now .....

Found something . Goodbye wet and windy Ayrshire for two weeks .

A wee snow storm here as I look out of the window ... gotta ride to work later on
This is when the ice tyres pay for themselves: if it carries on snowing there will be no public transport for me to get back home, last time the weather got really bad people waited hours in the hope of a taxi appearing, most taxi drivers took themselves off the road.
I remember folks stranded in town setting out to walk 15 miles in the snow.
I can still cycle

Trouble is ... he might be pretty fit** by then !

Didn't fancy the weather on the bike today, opted for walk instead, from Colinton down Water of Leith to the Botanics via a very agreeable lunchtime cafe in Roseburn. Saw first snowdrop in flower of the year. Disappointed to find Botanics closed, took 23 bus to Greenbank and completed return home via the WWI training trenches in Dreghorn Woods. Quite a decent covering of snow by the time we got home, fortunately for us the worst of it had fallen while we were on the bus.

Still got XXX sleeps to go (edited to hide dates of absence. @Scoosh could you please do the same on your post which quotes this one - I should know better than advertise holidays on the net, doh!).
Just noticed your signature line BTW @Pat "5mph" .. I'll show you! Just wait 'til I get back from my Floridian training camp .

Now that's a shame . Maison Scoosh is in Trinity and we could have provided you with a and maybe even some CAKE to fuel you top the 23 bus terminus, 7 mins away !

Mrs Scoosh and I went to our BMF class in Inverleith park this am ... and the sleet/snow and wind were pretty unpleasant for the first 25 mins but we were kept moving , so , and kept us warm. Then the sky cleared and it wasnae so bad . Very muddy, though !

No wonder you're laughing! Gave up on the "other" definition many years ago .

 

[Scoosh]

Still got ten sleeps to go .

Ah, it's Floridia, is it ? Whatever happened to Cyprus ?

Either way - it sounds nice and warm warmer than here, so don't forget the suntan greeese.
