Not a normal Monday...

Mondays are that day, you know, drag yourself out of bed and into work and just focus on survival.
Make it to home time. Well it often is to me anyway after a busy weekend with often not enough rest and often tired legs.
Today was for some reason different. I woke early and knew it was frosty, i can tell by the bedroom temperature, it was clear Sunday evening with a big full moon after 5 horrible days of wind and very heavy rain which fell as snow in many areas including our local Lammermuir hills, yeah thats snow!!!
Today dawned clear, YES!, sunshine again...
It was so good cycling to work with the sunrise, you just know its going to be a good day. Spring is just round the corner now too, light enough at 7.30am for cycling with out lights and a morning chorus of birdsong that seems to get more every week.
Snow drops have been out for a couple of weeks now and now the daffodil's are poking through and the trees have buds on them..
3 weeks till the clocks change, think it will still be a cold march.
At work it was a glorious morning up on the hill...


What a difference good weather makes to your mind after 5 days grey and overcast...it was lovely and calm too...






I felt energetic and a bit hyper for a Monday..and this was after Saturdays bike a hike in the snow that really drained me riding home the sky was an amazing bright blue with the high pressure...


I wasn't in a hurry cycling home and happy being out in such lovely winter weather...



Once home i did an hours chainsawing firewood then i got the motorbike fired up and went for a spin down the coast road. I stuck a Tachyon camera on with a goggle strap mount and made a quick helmet camera film...
My bike is seriously loud having a near straight through exhaust..i don't ride it off road like this so i don't worry about it. Its like payback for all the car drivers that buzz you when out cycling...`pull over..coming through!` lol...they cant say they didn't hear you coming. Sometimes old folk shake there fists at you, i saw cyclists once plug there ears too!.
The roads still have alot of salt.grit and chippings from holes on them so care is needed. Still fun though.
Love a big single engine on full bore!...
