A leisure centre
I was a US foreign student at Edinburgh Uni in '82 (two years after seeing my US family last, as I didn't fly home -- the uni had a thing about ALWAYS being there as a grad student). Had a blast! I remember a day when it turned 72F in the afternoon. The shirtless young local males that day destroyed part of my vision with the brightness. Otherwise, yes, autumn at best, lol!
On my senior trip (sic)....I met a lot of interesting people and grew to appreciate the cultures. Never returned but did travel the EU, and made it to Crete. I am not well to do and do not travel the world, but I have fond memories of many peoples and cultures.
When all the BS is aside, people are people. A lunch at a run down looking place on the outskirts of Paris with the only hangover remedy that worked ,and conversation with the old man that ran the place, Bangkok sitting at the river marketplace, watching in fascination with a kratom spiced tea, Guam with all the weird snakes...I mean people, this world is a treasure.
Traveling as a young man was an eye opening experience for this old Southern boy.
But these days I stay in my woods where I love to be.

I had a job for almost eleven years that required me to travel a lot. I used some of the perks to take vacations, including flying first class to Italy.
I still use the credit card that gives me miles, and I have over 250,000 miles in the account. And my wife doesn’t want to travel. We could go around the world for free.

Woke up to this sight this morning in sunny Scotland
Why are you posting pics of a typical day in Scotland? Send us a pic when the sun is shining somewhat brightly...hopefully that will happen before the next appearance of Halley's Comet in 2062.
We left Scotland when I was 5 (I remember snowploughs stuck outside our house!).
I now live at the other end of the country in Devon in England (it rains a lot down here as well!) about 500m (0.3 of a mile) from the sea and this was the unusual scene on Thursday morning!
Nice car park. I bet your back yard pond looks nice in the snow.
No snow here, but on Thursday we took our new 4x4 (Nissan Pathfinder) up to a mountain town, and there was about that much snow up there. Found a very good steak house (associated with a local ranch) in Horseshoe Bend on the way back.
It did, and I only fell over once on the patio, throwing a snowball at grey squirrel (<bleep> crazies who imported them years ago, which has almost driven the native red to extinction) which was trashing the birdfeeder
57 F here in sunny North Florida.
The fish in my pond have quit coming up for food. Normally the Koi are ravenous eaters but as the weather cools down not so much.
A cold day for you?
About average. This time of year can see extremes. Some years short pants at Christmas, some years miserably damp, cold and windy.
I'm fine any day the sun shines, it's overcast, dark, cold weather that withers my spirits.
What the hell man! Only 20 degrees warmer than here!
Found a retired electronic repairman a couple towns over from me.
He has a small business at his house, while he specializes in Velodyne, he said he could do my Marantz turntable.
Talked to him and was quoted $150 to service and recap.
That seems very fair to me. Am I right or wrong?

He has many excellent reviews online
