The usual view of the Kessock Bridge on the way to work this morning. The pink band had been a bright red earlier, before reaching here. Very windy, and I'd trouble getting a steady shot, even with bracing both elbows against a barrier, such was the strength of the gusts.

Was hoping to find something else during the day, with the above just as a backup, but a manic day with a five minute sandwich break before 3pm, then back to it until thrown out at 5pm.

Outside it was dark, very windy, and pouring rain. Extra layers were donned. Lunch and an afternoon snack were eaten, and I dithered a bit longer under the cycle shelter, hoping the weather would ease. The wind did slightly, the rain less so. Gave the planned shopping detour a miss. Still had a "good", if that's the correct term, soaking on the way home.

May be in for another soaking tomorrow morning, alas. Followed by continuing the tidying up after today's classes. Lots of prep thereafter. Behind with repairs for other departments - too busy, unless it's an emergency.
