Saturday Rain

Another Saturday with nothing better to do than watch football.
Outside sleetish rain is falling, and has done since late last night, occasionally turning into snow and failing to lie.  
A normal Scots day I would say, in June!
The weather also hindered the few brave enough to make for the town centre, I was not aware of excessive Saturday traffic today, and with the town apparently a leading one where the Virus is living (though whether in the streets or in Care Homes is not made clear!) people are taking great steps to avoid needless crowding.  
There was no crowding in here today.
Instead I attempted to upset people on Twitter and failed, previous Bots failed to appear and thus there was nothing to do but eat and watch football.  The first football was mediocre English rubbish, so I fell asleep, but at three in the afternoon the Heart of Midlothian appeared to thrash Dunfermline Athletic at Tynecastle Park by one goal to nil.  That was good enough for me.  
I did grumble at the needless absurd camera shots throughout the game, why did we require constant views of the Pars number 3?  Did the director fancy him?  I would think it may well be female as clearly the director did not understand football.
Anyway, this was disturbed by rumblings from below.  It appears neighbours have moved in!  Not being nosey I have no idea who they are, but listening outside it was clear they are young!
How terrible!
No doubt noise from bad music and soap opera TV will soon appear! 
However, they may be human after all, but I doubt anyone under 40 is human these days.
Look, the six O' Clock game is starting, I wonder who is playing tonight...?

Neighbours?
You'll have to get rid of them the way you did the last ones...where's that mouse when yu need him?

We have high winds which means that the internet goes down...and when it returns I find that I cannot open my e mails and the site is not updating...do you think I have been cancelled?

Still I managed to read the howlings on the Brits in France group, always worth a chortle. Apparently Macron was right to wait for a proper vaccine - French - to be developed, even though it wasn't, and the U.K. paid too much by not waiting for the E.U. and Boris only went ahead early to seize all the stocks for the U.K. which was not being friendly to the E.U.....
Oddly enough, no mention of the E.U.'s proposed breach of the Good Friday Agreement...but that might mean lifting the snout from the vin rouge long enough to read a newspaper...

Was it Billy Connolly that said Scotland has 2 seasons Winter and June.

Fly, Your internet sounds normal for Costa. Sounds like they have lines down somewhere.
The FRench may have been upset that Boris stopped hundreds of useful anti-covid items going out of the UK. Fes in the media have noticed this. But these two will always argue. Unlike us.

Dave, Very possibly, but he was wrong about June!

As if fellow Scots could argue....
I take some pleasure in that particular group. They are so wedded to validating their move to France that they can admit no imperfections...just like a lot of the American expats in Costa Rica...even when the glaringly obvious is under their noses.
