It's wild outside! Up in the Lakes but no day for a bimble about. Looking forward to a frothing stoop of ale in a few hours at the local pub. I have heard they have venison suet pud on the menu, yum.

Christ, what chance has the high Street got ?
Went into town this morning with my mum to the Post Office. Years ago, you'd fight to get in the door on a saturday. Two customers at the counter, soon cleared, no o ne came in while we set up an account , WHSmiths, the host shop was deserted, maybe 50 people up a street that was thronging 20 years ago. Like a blooming ghost town...on Saturday

Had to go to Keswick last Saturday, miserable and cold day but the town centre was absolutely mobbed. No market on either because of the weather. I guess some town centres are doing OK. Not Carlisle though...

Back from a cycle ride with my wife. A day earlier than planned but with strengthening winds and rain forecast thought we’d best get out. Wind already strengthened but dry this afternoon.

Managed to get out for a walk in between torrential sleet showers so at least got a little exercise.
Stopped at a viewpoint overlooking the entrance to Loch Sunart. The sea was breaking high over The Stirks, an outcrop of rock which a few ships seem to have hit over the years. There is a large anchor and chain on the seabed but no other obvious wreckage to be seen. Probably covered in silt now.
The Red Rocks also were prominent but they are only exposed at low tides. Had a few frights there when sailing my Wayfarer dinghy as despite knowing their approximate position they only show sometimes by a sudden breaking wave on top when they are lurking just below the surface. Good scenic diving spot and had some good catches of scallops from there.

It's going to gepischen it down tomorrow apparently, and blow some serious hoolies.

I watched our local auction on line . It was antique and collectables . A lot of the things were going way over their estimates , one lot went 10 times above the highest . It makes a mockery of things if the estimates are that far out .
I later went out for a ride . The weather had started to get windy but I decided to press on. It became a bit gusty and then spotted with rain. It brightened up a bit before clouding over . I did my usual 12 mile ride . The new old bike is going well.
