Chance of a sunny spell ....

Auchnagatt, looking south we have bank of low loud with a clear sky above it, and a heavily overcast sky to the North. Unfortunately the Northern sky appears to be slowly moving south so it looks like we’re in for a dull day: light rain is forecast for later in the afternoon. I’m hoping for a sunny spell, once the sun rises above a bank of low cloud, so that I can have a daunder to the end of the drive.
14.00 Iain had to go to Ellon to put fuel in the
car so we, Jackie, Iain and me, had a run out to Collieston to take a few
photographs. The sky had clouded over by
this time and, being at the seaside, it was cauld. We didn’t go into the village, choosing instead to photograph Collieston from the Cransdale Viewpoint... adjacent to the
visitor’s car park. We have ‘done’ Collieston
on sunny days, when the beach was busy.
It wasn’t busy today... in fact I only saw two other people moving; and they were coming back to their car. Cransdale Point would be a good place to
have a wee explore on a warm sunny day!
Today the three of us rapidly ‘clicked’ off a batch of photographs, and
were glad to get back to the warm car. I will be going into ‘rest mode’ after this
update.

19.00 There’s a warning for icy roads tomorrow morning; forecasters expect overnight rain to freeze on the cold road surface. Thursday and Friday are also forecast to be wet so good days for doing things on the computer. The external hard drive, that I forgot to bring with me, would have been very useful.
Jackie and Iain are going shopping early tomorrow; they’ll probably be back before I
am out of bed: I have slept ‘in’ every morning so far. It’s going to be cold overnight, and rain is forecast for tomorrow with the threat of ice so I won’t be going out. Plenty to do on the computer.
