Light cloud and a little wind which is good for Games Day as it will help to keep the midges down.
The Highland Games are not really very local these days and are really mostly a travelling circus.
Local agricultural shows are much better and local in reality. The nicest small one we went to was Bunessan at the south end of Mull where you caught up with people you had not seen since last year since it is 55 miles away from here. The food was also wonderful being local seafood and meat which was prepared in the local school kitchen as the show was held partly on school grounds. Since it was school holidays the school was off anyway.
Son is away today to Taiwan for a month since the two week quarantine is now only 3 days. I cannot get over the way he regards such travel as I would catching a local bus.

I needed sunglasses on my morning cone-negotiations session.
The idiot up the road continues to drive up and down the road for no obvious reason in his noisy body-kit clad Corsa. Who said petrol is too expensive?
My work computer seems to want to do yet another update.
Reminds me of a Porsche owner in my last village who would drive 500m from his house so he could park his Porsche where people would see it whenever he needed to go shopping or attend a social event.
I can sort of understand someone showing off their Porsche but not a 1000cc Opel Corsa.
This is the, 90s model Corsa which I actually think was a neat piece of styling but he's ruined this one.

I've noticed a strange coincidence !
Both our hedge and my beard are both growing at a faster rate these days !

You should see the e-assist trikes* An Post introduced, ask him why he's not using one.
*They scrapped their old pedal only bike fleet. With a few given to charities.
I'm sure that like most employees, he just uses whatever they give him.

I know. I was thinking how refreshingly cool my living room was and looked at the temperature: 26.6C.+21'C at the moment.
Joking.
having watched two games Spain and the Northern Ireland game,The Manager needs to play the team that played after 55 mins last night,the three subs changed the game,White has not done anything despite media hype,Russo contributes more,she upsets defences and scores also,so in the semi on from the start,get a goal up rather than coming from behind.The subs were brilliant.

You're not bothered that they simply scrapped their old bike fleet then?

Someone has just donated a carbon racer to the shop.
Everyone is very excited.

Nothing I can do about it unfortunately.
