It was nice to have a drive even though the new screen ECU failed after 70 miles grrrrr :evil: but I delivered the medicine and that was what really mattered!! :-D

I did hope for a bit of sunshine and a decent wind today to recreate this but the sun never broke the clouds in anything other than brief patches and there was not much wind.

I don't know that you would although with you present level of fitness you would probably make it. Arthritis would probably prevent me doing more than 10 yards. It's quite a bit of work getting the car up there with the tight bends.

Neil

Unfortunately that clue is in most of my pictures - or I forget where they are, well done on the detective work though. It's beautiful ride up that road, from Lairg you have the river and pine forests, beyond the pub hills and rivers to Altnaharah village then roadside lochs and when you get near to Tongue mountains and beautiful views across the kyle.

There is no such thing as a perfect image, and for me to acknowledge that fact a small token of deliberate or accidental imperfection should be present in all images.

This for me this morning made your image interesting
imperfection or added interest<br />the latter for me

Bloody phones.

I have a cast-off Samsung thingy here beside me. Have to enter a PIN. Can I work out the PIN? What do you think.
It keeps chirping and warbling away, anyone's guess what it is up to. All I want is to load it with mp3s and plug it in to an amp.

Unfortunately not. I can possibly do a complete factory reset but that is likely to end in disaster.

I have twice done it on the craphone and each time lost more functionality.

May have to part with some pictures of the queen :(

Had a letter from the NHS about going paperless - ironically as they have my email address.
There was a Qcode that I had to show to the camera on my phone to know all about everything.
Naturally it didn't work.

I looked out a 05:00 this morning, very misty and icy, cars covered in frost.

Ignored it and went back to bed :)

Many would rate that as very good advice indeed Steve!

It's still good to get out and about even on days like today. The air is very invigorating 😃

I was not alone in thinking that as Salcey Forest was once again utterly rammed. Both main and overflow car parks were full when I left and between them they hold around 300 cars!

One effect of Covid seems to be that people have become more active and get outdoors more.
