Vote for one who promises the sun.

But only if they deliver it first.

Well, at least you can actually read the sun - although it's not exactly what one would consider high brow...

He could do that with a couple of copies of the Star.
But the sun, the sun brings heat, warmer weather and possible dry days!

But be wary of any who moon at him.

There's a local pinch point to stop larger lorries rat running through a housing development, just wide enough for cars and work trucks to ease through. I watched a panel van pull up and the driver must have thought he could squeeze through, he went for it and peeled the whole side off😮

I cycled over it in 2019 when I cycled NCN 78 from Campbeltown to Inverness and stopped to take photos from the top of it but it never occurred to me at the time to take photos of the bridge itself as it's quite interesting.

There is now a walkway outside the main carriageway. Certainly too narrow for my trike but a bike could be walked along perhaps. Not advised if you have a fear of heights as it is mesh with a clear view of the Loch Etive side of the Falls. It starts where the strut comes down in your photo.

Morning.
Sunny with quite a lot of broken cloud here this morning . We have had a light shower of rain .
I still bunged up , not sure if there is something close to where we are staying which has caused it .

If they don't do so well today, they'll blame the weather. Win or loose.

Pouring rain and not going anywhere today I suspect.
I have done most of my shopping and the rest, which is stuff destined for the freezer, can be bought first thing tomorrow before getting on the ferry if it happens to be running.
This means for me an early start as check in time is 0935 but I prefer to be there earlier. Cannot be too early as the relevant shops do not open until 0800 and traffic is unpredictable tho' I know a back route to the terminal which only locals would use.

My electric shaver suddenly stopped working this morning but there was no warning light of low battery. Fortunately I have a spare handy which is a small AA battery powered one I used when cycle camping.
I do have another one which has a fully charged battery in what I call my " hospital bag" but that is out in my car so not handy when it is pouring rain.
