@erikstl About time. June has been terrible here. Temperatures sometimes struggling to get above 8°C, gales and driving rain. In fact, typical Scottish summer. 😉

@fitheach I feel like I need to visit Scotland in the summer.This 90+ degree (30+ C) high humidity crap I suffer through every year is for the birds, man.

@erikstl It's probably the high humidity that is the real problem. I used to always recommend May & September as the months to visit the Highlands. It is usually cool, but dry (drier) then.

@fitheach Better than mine:https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-80_metric_e.htmlBut given that I'm housebound, it hardly matters.

@fitheach Sprained 1 ankle quite badly on the 14th. It still looks like a large sausage with little toes. Crutches5 x-rays say not broken anywhere and two different doctors in A&E last sunday say they could see no break and marvelled at how good I'd "banged it up".I just have to be real nice to it and wait it out apparently.Of course, when monday came the effects of a triage nurse, two docs and an x-ray tech poking and prodding made themselves known - put me back days worth of pain/swelling.

@fitheach I'd like to say I did it "leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxsQ9vESX0Y ,but... I tripped on the apples and pears :-(

@gemlog Each time you tell the story you can embellish it a little.I once went to a fancy dress party as a Mountie. The intention was a re-working of the old idiom:"The Mountie always gets his woman"
