Now that the arctic conditions have passed us by, though not passed
by us, it seems like a good time to remark on how nice the weather has
been for the past few days.

Hasn't it just!

A gentle northerly today (I like those) with plenty of sun and not a
hint of precipitation. And with a high of 7° it was nice to walk
the dog without wearing a coat (me or the dog).

I spent most of Tuesday, Wednesday and today out walking in the snow
(Tuesday and Wednesday) and not in the snow (today). I didn't need a
windproof jacket except on the beach at Lossiemouth, which faces due north.

But the ground was sodden everywhere off recognised paths. Makes it very
hard going on sand when you sink in at every step.

For the record, 37 species of birds; plus cirrus, cumulus and what looked
like lee wave.
