    Drookit Susan — Monday Portrait Apr 01

    This is a fun challenge not hosted by anyone, so if you want to join in, just post a photo.

    Hey there! Check out this picture of my wife Susan, looking like a true champ on our bike ride despite being completely drookit (that’s Scots for soaked) from the rain. We love cycling no matter the weather, and Susan’s smile in this picture just proves it!??

    My Fan Of… this week is another rainy day on the bikes with some strong winds added for good measure. We’d promised ourselves a quick 10-mile ride to blow away some cobwebs, so we decided to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The day we chose started out rainy & windy but was forecast to clear up by 0900. Susan looked out & said the forecast was wrong, & it was going to rain all day; she was right.

    We wanted to get out on the bikes, though & so got our wet weather gear and set out into 20mph winds & horizontal rain? & headed to the Canal.

    We were a wee bit drookit by the time we got there

    Rainy Days — Sunday Stills

    Hi All 👋 My latest entry for Terri’s Sunday Stills: Rain.

    Starting with a downpour whilst we were on holiday in Malibu, CA.

    Drookit skwurrels & ring doos in the garden.

    Susan & I are not much bothered by the rain & won’t let it get in the way of our plans, be it a ferry trip on the west coast of Scotland…

    …or getting out & about on our bikes for shopping or just enjoying a ride.

    Kelpie Reflection — Cellpic Sunday

    Hi All 👋 This is my latest post for John’s Cellpic Sunday. Our last visit to the Kelpies was on a rainy day. Around the base of these massive sculptures are wee pools that you can often get good reflections in. On this particular day, or “dreich” day as we say up here, the reflections were disrupted by the raindrops.
