Lunch at Dores Inn.

A very warm breezy day with temperatures hovering in the mid 20C and a welcome change from the recent overcast showery days of late. Drove 7 miles to the village of Dores at the eastern end of Loch Ness and took a walk along the crescent beach and then into Torr Woods. Enjoyed a 2 hour leisurely stroll through the woods and worked up a good appetite for lunch at the Dores Inn. The Inn was packed and it was a good job that we had booked. There was a good choice on the menu and lunch was tasty and very enjoyable.

International Space Station

Yesterday we experienced a rather chilly day with a clear blue sky which enhanced the snow topped mountains opposite. Enjoyed a lunch out at The Dores Inn and very nice it was too but just too cold for a walk along the beach. The Inn was very busy and we had to wait for a table.In the evening the setting sun lit up the isolated clouds as it disappeared westwards for the night. During our usual evening stroll around the outside of the house with the cats following in case we needed their assistance we noticed a very bright light in the blue night sky - top left in photo. We had heard recently that the International Space Station can now be seen with the naked eye on a clear evening and on further research on the internet we are sure that is what we saw in the sky. Apparently it is only second in brightness to the planet Venus.Read simplified information on the space station or more detailed information by Nasa.
