@Tim Oh my goodness. I'm not as white but where I live the sun is hardly seen so we blind the southerners with our whiteness. Glad you are out of the blue range! And Alison, Hooray for shorts! Oh wait, is it now raining and cold again?

I will vouch for the fact that it was indeed sunny in Scotland last week. I’d dutifully packed jumpers, coats and umbrellas for the traditional Scottish summer so imagine my surprise when I had to cut the insulin doses and root out the shorts!

@Heather I wrote the article at the end of last week, when it was still nice; how ironic now I look out of the window...

@CALpumper When the sun comes out it takes the Scots a week to turn white - we're usually a sort of blueish colour.

Hi Tim, I’m in Scotland too – we have just had our 3 days of hot weather for the summer and are currently enduring thunderstorms and heavy rain.

Only 2 days a year? Wow.
All last week it rained here. It sucked.
Now it is sunny but not quite warm yet.
When the temp rises, I drop. Thought I was the only one.
Thanks for letting me know I’m not. I don’t do well in the heat.

Glad you are seeing some sun tho!

@Mark What fun! At least Edinburgh only ever has two days a year where the temperature gets into double-digits!

Hey Tim! Good to see you and Alison had a wonderful time. As you know, I live in Atlanta, Georgia, where the temps during the summer months can average in the 90s. Managing the ‘ol d-life can be a bit tricky…
