Looking north

The car was going into the garage today so I thought I would get up early and head out to find a blip just after sunrise.  Frustratingly, although the forecast was for sunshine, there was a heavy bank of cloud sitting across the valley so the light was rather flat.  

As I was spending the day at home I decided to tackle the decking and give it a clean with the power washer and a bit of serious elbow grease.  It took the most part of the day and I can say that tonight I am exhausted and heading to bed very soon!  The decking is looking pretty spruce however and ready for staining next week if the weather holds.
