Smoke from a fire at Finnie's scrapyard in Inverness's Longman industrial estate - as seen from my window at work. Second fire near here in a week. This one was a lot more serious, and took a while to extinguish. No-one known to have been harmed.

Saw my first open Bluebells of the Spring. First time I've ever seen any wild ones open in March. Weird weather for this time of year. We're lucky to have it this warm for several consecutive days in the Summer, nevermind in March. Have so far resisted any temptations to expose my legs or cycle shorts. No doubt, much to everyone's relief...
