This post is actually all lies. I’m a little disgruntled about it being the beginning of the week, and I’m sure it’s sunny in some part of the world, but not here (these photos are from two weeks ago). This post should really be entitled “Eh, it’s Monday. And it’s cloudy. Again.”
The weather forecast for this week (which was just like last week’s) predicts low fifties (11°C) and cloudy. Every. Single. Day. And cloudy here doesn’t mean a sprinkling of clouds with some blue sky. Nope. We’re talking solid gray wall of visible liquid droplets.

We haven’t had a properly sunny day (i.e. more than 4 hours of consistent sunniness) in a week. I’m so used to the clouds and gray light that looking at these photos hurts my eyeballs a little bit.
Living in Edinburgh in the spring (the rainy season — well, the rainier season) is kind of like living underground. When you come out from your dirt tunnel (a.k.a. the clouds part), everything looks extra bright and your little mole eyes go blink, blink, wince, blink before you realize this brightness is a natural occurrence. And then you have a nice romp in a daisy-strewn field.

Dear Cath,
Sorry for the grumbliness! I think it partly has to do with not talking to you yesterday. I mean, I know we talked Saturday, but that feels too far away. Now I feel like I’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed because I didn’t get my daily dose of Cath skyping yesterday. Harumph.
What did you do yesterday? Is it sunny there today in Decatur? I do not miss the giant bugs (cockroaches. shudder) or the terrible humidity and smog, but on days like today I just imagine how warm and sunny Georgia is.
Muchos kisses!
Love,
Lar
Dear Lar,
I feel the same way! I had to run errands yesterday so I wasn’t home to skype – boohiss.
It’s actually very dreary here today. So we have grey skies AND cockroaches. Ugh. Definitely feels like a Monday.
Let’s make sure to chat lots next weekend!
xoxo, cath
Yes, please! Sorry for your dreary Monday too! We almost had sunlight a few hours ago, but one thin veil of clouds persisted. Now we are back to the usual grey.
So wish we could commisserate in person!
xoxoxo,
Lar
ugh, the weather is super dreary here too. I am glad I ran my errands earlier this morning, because it’s raining and storming right now. Total non-blog-photo weather. I just Love your jumping photo! That brightened up my day!
Lar. Fun as usual! Those boots are everything! Love them. I don’t think I could take much of Edinburgh as I am addicted to sun/sunlight. The clouds make me sad and cranky.
Man that sucks!!! I don’t know how you deal with so much cloudy grayness ;( It must be difficult. But this sunny day pictured looks so so cute, love the daisies and your cute little sunny outfit. I wish you much scottish sunshine in the future 😉
Ugh-I feel you! I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the gray skies of England. This Ohio girl needs some flippin’ sunshine! I still find it hilarious though-when the sun comes out, even for a few hours, everyone STREAMS out into the streets, to the pubs, to the pier-anywhere where they can have full access to some UV rays. And Scotland is worse! My condolences,love, from one American in the UK to another:)
