Chemtrailing operations suspended over Tayside.

This must be one of the longest spells without chemtrails in Tayside that I can remember. It must be 4 or 5 days now since we've had consistent chemtrailing. There was a short spell of no activity for  a few days  last year during the London Olympics opening and closing ceremonies but nothing this long. It may be because of the 3 week NATO exercise 'Joint Warrior' which is currently taking place in Scotland and involves our land, sea and air forces.The aircrews will be wanting clear skies to practise their intercepts I would imagine.
RAF Leuchars in Fife which borders Tayside is hosting some NATO aircraft for the exercise and I've seen a lot more flying activity than usual.
The Typhoon fighters are based at Leuchars until the base closes in 2014 and they are quite a common site overhead. If you go walking in the local glens then you will often see them hugging the valley floors......

We've had the Super Etendard from the French airforce flying around....

...as well as their aerborne radar aircraft the Hawkeye...seen here following some Super Etendards and what looks like 2 Rafale fighters......

The sky was almost back to 'normal' over Tayside today and I took a few pictures ...

morning

afternoon..real clouds !

evening..this aircraft went over in the evening to spoil things :(

My 'blogger' experience.

Chemtrailing has been quiet here over the past few days ( praise be to whoever controls such things......long may it last ), so I thought I'd pen a few lines about my experience of blogging with blogger. I've been blogging on this platform for about a week now so I think I've had time to assess it's strengths and weaknesses.

Text

I've had previous blogs and the 'new' blogger is a lot faster when writing text. You no longer have to control paragraphs with the <p> and </p> characters for example. What you write is what you see in the completed article. Adding captions to photographs is a lot quicker as well.
Spelling is still American English ( despite selecting UK English in preferences) so it highlights words like flavour or aluminium as spelling mistakes. US spelling is flavor and aluminum.
It doesn't recognise chemtrail  as a 'real' word despite decades of use. Close your eyes and hope the word goes away attitude ?

Photos

Very slow to upload photographs. A couple of minutes rather than a couple of seconds to upload a 1Mb file. My broadband speed is consistent but whenever I try to upload a photo it's almost as if someone is looking at it and deciding whether it's ok or not.  We used to call this the 'Sally Gunnell' approach. When I worked in the middle east all newspapers were censored and one in particular had Sally Gunnell, the British Olympic champion, holding up the Union Jack with her armpits blackened out with black marker pen. This was to protect her modesty and prevent us from getting too excited. Newspapers and books etc  had to pass the Sally Gunnell test to get into the country.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid ?

Videos

This is the biggest failing with the new blogger platform. In 'old' blogger you could upload any youtube video you liked by copy and pasting the embed code of the video into your post. With this new platform you type in the video you want and blogger gives you a list of video to choose from. Often the video you want isn't on the list.  You can copy the title of the video that you want word for word and it still won't be on the list.

Conclusions

In conclusion I'd say that the new blogger allows quicker posts to be written but that the posts are reduced in impact as you can't use the videos that you prefer. Plus the slow speed of picture uploads discourages you from using all the pictures that you would have liked.
It reminds me of driving a car with the windows covered in snow with a small gap to see where you're going. If the windscreen had been cleared before you left the house then you would get the total picture and be more aware of what's going on.

All quiet on the chemtrailing front.

It looks like the chemtrailers have been given a well earned rest. No sign of chemtrailng today or yesterday over Tayside. Although I've been getting reports of heavy spraying elsewhere in the UK. There's a big NATO exercise over Scotland involving 50 aircraft and some ships etc so maybe chemtrailing has been knocked on the head for a couple of days. Fingers crossed anyway. It will let me get out in the garden and get this years potatoes planted ( I've decided to go for the planting after wondering whether or not to bother ....old habits die hard)
The weather yesterday was weird.  Heavy hailstone showers ( chemstones ) then t shirt and shorts weather. If you don't like the weather in Scotland then don't worry....you will get something different in about ten minutes.
Today is bright  but a bit chilly. The sky is that weird turquoise blue that we now 'enjoy' after a decade of chemtrailing overhead.
Anyway back to the gardening.
Have a good weekend.

UPDATE :  Saturday evening...

Oops, I knew it was too good to last. Chemtrails drifted in from the west later on resulting in another sun dog sunset . I heard aircraft flying overhead as well and managed to take one picture of a chemtrailer amongst all the gloom.
Here are the photos from tonight. Click on photo to enlarge....

Heavy chemtrailing over English Lake District.

An alert reader sent me these photos that they took when they stopped for a coffee at the M6 services at Tebay in Cumbria yesterday.....

I used to drive down the M6 quite often and almost always saw heavy chemtrailing over part of the journey. You have to feel for people living in Cumbria and Lancashire etc. Especially the farmers who are struggling again this year. The sheep farmers had the heavy snow to contend with and now the lack of sunshine due to persistent chemtrailing has hampered the growth of grass that the young lambs need to gain strength. I wonder why the farmers never 'look up' to see where the problem lies ?

I googled 'photos of Cumbria' and wasn't surprised to see the 'attractive' scenery on display had a sky full of chemtrails.
Here are some of the photos that I found....

I couldn't find any with a nice clear dark blue sky. Have to go back to the 60's for that.

Tayside enjoys a quiet day with no chemtrailing.

It was a relatively quiet day overhead today. There were some residual chemtrails from the heavy spraying yesterday but they were gradually pushed out into the North Sea by the strong south westerly winds.
After a game of golf I took some pictures of the late flowering daffodils in the garden. I never cease to be amazed at the beauty that can develop out of a simple bulb.
The commercial daffodil crop flowered too late in Scotland to be of any use to the Easter and Mother's Day market so was left to die back in the fields. Blanket grey skies due to persistent chemtrailing and a naturally cold Spring have conspired against the farmers once again.
Anyway here's my photos from today. Click on the pics to enlarge....

early morning...residual chemtrails from yesterday

early afternoon....sky almost 'normal'..although no longer a deep blue like when I was a child.

sunset in Broughty Ferry near Dundee....looks 'normal'.

Here are the daffodil pics from my garden.....

Even the Elite get chemtrailed. Bilderbergers going to Watford this year ?

With  news that the Bilderberg meeting will be at The Grove Hotel in Watford this year I had a look at the Grove website. Lots of chemtrails above the mansion in one of their promotion pictures.
Maybe they will wear their spooky masks like they do at The Bohemian Grove in the US ? Maybe they're not so daft after all and the masks have an anti chemtrail filter ? Or maybe they just stay indoors to discuss their secretive master plan for the world.
Joking aside I do find it unsettling that the most powerful politicians and industrialists from around the world can meet in secret every year since the 1950's to discuss their future plans for the world and our mainstream media ignores the whole thing. They've been dragged out of their slumbers in recent years as bloggers take up their role in earnest but it does blow open the illusion that our mainstream media is independent. It is of course just an extra tool of the government to get it's 'message' across.
Politicians who taxpayers pay to represent them are having secret meetings with foreign politicians and industrialists  and this is ok ? In earlier times it would be regarded as treason and they would have had their heads lopped off. We do indeed live in interesting times.  It will be interesting to see a list of this years attendees to see who is 'on the up' and who isn't. Young unknown  politicians always prosper after an invite to Bilderberg.  Look at the previous list of attendees for the truth of this.
The meeting is from the 6th to the 9th June and the hotel is 'fully booked' from the 5th June in case you were planning a visit. I prefer caravanning myself. 
Watford....where the Bilderberg  plan for the world continued....Mind the Watford Gap !

Chemical sunset for Black Wednesday.

After a full day of chemtrailing the sun finally manages to escape and slips below the chemical horizon..

I wonder what tomorrow will bring ?

Black Wednesday.

We were promised some sunshine today by our Scottish Television weather forecaster Mr Batty but the sun is struggling to be seen behind a heavy chemtrail  attack.
The chemtrailing picked up from yesterday and went into a higher gear.
I took these photos this morning/ afternoon. Click on the pics to enlarge...

Chemtrailing heavy this afternoon.

It was about 2pm before the first chemtrails were laid today. Maybe the pilots slept in or something.
Heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow morning so maybe they wanted the chemtrails to be washed down with the rain.
I took some photos. Click on the pictures to enlarge..

trails started to be laid at about 2pm

gently expanded

early evening...spread wider

late evening...sky a mass of chemicals

wind blowing them about a bit

this weird aircraft was buzzing around...dome on top ..radar ?

UPDATE : 24th April.

I think I've identified the 'weird' aircraft in the last photo ( above). It looks like a .....

Grumman E-2C Hawkeye 2000 (G-123)

There's a NATO exercise around the coast of Scotland for the next few weeks so it may be off the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. France bought 3 of these aircraft from the US for airborne early warning.
They're nicknamed 'the hummer' apparently due to the weird sound they make when flying. I can confirm the weird sound :)
