It’s still doing that bloody thing where it’s sunny in the rays but freezing in the shade. I’m still using an overcoat.

Part of it is the getting old.

I think in some previous years I would be already jacket-only. but you know what kids? See when you get a bit older? You get a bit colder.

I used to live in Greece and there was a guy lived up our alleyway who was literally a hundred years old and he still sat outside every evening with his family and listened to their nonsense.

Can you imagine that in Scotland? Can you imagine anyone over sixty sitting out in the evening? Even in summer?

But the old fella in Greece just sat there like a happy lizard. Basking and listening.

That’s what I want to do when I’m as old as dirt. I just want to sit there and be warm. Hot country for me please. If someone could reverse the Brexit, that would be nice, thanks.

Music Round Clue for Brass Leith:

This is THE CORRS, and their one of their songs from their chart-dominating days of the late 90s..This lot were massive for a while. They were Irish and, clicking on the video I wondered if it was filmed in Ireland? Seems windy and bleak enough. But, in some shots, it looks more like the USA, but not quite. So I looked it up and they filmed it in New Zealand. Ah, makes sense.
