The grey, damp and milder conditions still around in Cheshire, lots of overnight rain again, good job I’m decorating at the daughter‘s house

Well tonight another beach another sea view loving it 15 deg in the van 9 deg outside positivity balmy here in Scotland.

Love the Aeonium pics, Colin.
They grow like wildfire over here, dry down to sticks over the summer and revive quickly after the first rain.
The locals call them Gipsy Cheese.
It's a calm, humid, 16 degrees outside. More songbirds have arrived today.
A lone, optimistic Cricket is singing away...
He'll be lucky..!
I tried rubbing my legs together, as a callow, virginal youth....
I didn't pull, either.

9 degrees and rain this morning. Rain, drizzle and mist forecast for the rest of the day followed by fog overnight.
Think I’ll put some waterproofs on to prepare the van for Moffat!

Grey 15 degrees ... Not all bad news. At least I'll have a brandy with the coffee.
Pensioner's Treat tonight,.
While we're due to be out and about, it's supposed to rain heavily.
It's too warm to wear that huge, charity shop, leather jacket that I bought in UK.
I'm regretting leaving my lightweight raincoat behind now.
Mustn't grumble.

It was a comfortable 19°C overnight here in Gran Canaria with the slightest movement of air.
The stars were out in all their splendour thanks to very little light pollution in this particular area.
Today it's warming nicely but there are some rather troubling clouds dotted above us:



So there's absolutely nothing for me to be smug about.

Not jealous at all!

I bet you were speechless with admiration, Ruth, at how modest Colin's posts are.
He's an example to us all.

Today started with rain but gradually it has improved, in fact I’ve just spotted some of Colin’s clouds, they must move so quickly to get to Cheshire and cheer us up, thanks Colin ..........

Update ....... can you send some more Colin, it’s raining again

The flora and fauna here in the Canaries is both interesting and, to someone from Hertfordshire, exotic.
I came across this potter wasp (the nests are made of clay in the shape of a pot) extracting lunch from the berries on a garden shrub earlier:



It's about 30mm long and, though these wasps are supposed to have a relatively gentle temperament, I wouldn't want to be stung by one that's having a bad day.
They lay a solitary egg in their pot-shaped nests and provision it with paralysed caterpillars for their offspring to feed on.

I'm struggling with that one, Dave.
Will this do:



...........until something more substantial glides across the blue?

It’s raining here in Scotland but We are having a bowl of sunshine for afters.

 

[Campervanannie]

It’s times like this I wish I had a really good camera the sky tonight is crystal clear just amazing.

 

[Val54]

Ah the gentle patter of steady rain.............

It’s a foggy 6 degrees this morning. 🌫🌫🌫
However it’s looking generally fine if very cold for Moffat, so should be good for exploring the great little town at the weekend.

 

[Pauljenny]

We've solid, grey clouds, 13 degrees and a mingy, stingy drizzle.
No Smugpix available
I'm off to the Bakery for a brandy coffee..
Mustn't grumble

It's as disappointing here as it is in Portugal, Paul:



..........I'd hoped for a little shade today.
Oh well, mustn't grumble.
