Ambush...

The weather is trying to tempt us out, looking all bright and sunny...then roars in with rain and sleet showers.
Pirate is getting frustrated, we need time out on the bike..we have a memorial ride coming up on Sunday starting at Kirkhill just outside Inverness...we are only doing the short ride of 26 miles. We know the route, its just going the reverse way round this year, which should be easier, and there is a nice tailwind forecast for the run in from the far end!
It is in memory of Ivor Reid, a massive loss to Scottish Cycling...a generous person and good track rider over many years. 57 was too young..  The rides raise money to assist young up and coming Scots riders.

Meanwhile we are working on cleaning and tidying the house, doing some decluttering...things that got lost in the rush of going away last November!
It would be easier to do if the weather was kind...but if it was we would be out on our bikes...or doing something with the garden...but even that isn't possible as it is absolutely sodden, despite being at the top of the hill!!

We did get a walk around our village perimeter walk yesterday...it was damping seriously, not quite raining during the hour we were out.
The highlight was seeing a goldcrest....but have you ever tried catching an image of one?!!

I'll take your word for it that there's a goldcrest somewhere in there, LOL!

The weather is so variable at this time of year, probably even more so where you are.
