WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD IF THE WEATHER DID WHAT THE BBC SAYS!.

Wrong again BBC weather, really it doesn't seem to have progressed much since we hung a bit of seaweed outside the back door when I was a little kid in Eastbourne. I can't remember what was supposed to happen but when the BBC got rid of the Met centre the next outfit isn't any better, not that we are looking ahead much just the next day would be good. It was early afternoon that the sun appeared at Penrith but no matter some good shots and three hours of film in the bag. The outlook tomorrow is full sunshine so I'll have a catch up editing day. I'm still scanning the Bubb family cine, when I've got the digital files I must upload the old analogue tapes which have the sound which matches, the only other alternative is to go up to the loft and get the projector down which has sound. I'm also waiting for a S VHS C machine I've got off EBay.

Hows this for magic, the same Amazon that I ended our shop with due to their bullying tactics with small sellers, now they send me marketing to sell bigger and better in the USA!! I stick pins in a doll each night named Amazon and hope it ends badly for them, well actually I don't but perhaps I should it might be calming. Every time I see the flying banana it makes my blood boil.

Anyone see Boatty Mc Boat Face last night on Channel 5, it was a documentary ( may not, it could be a comedy) about a British war ship heading out into the arctic tracking a Russian submarine. Only problem was that when the weather gets rough the boats leaks, but they have the solution, lots of buckets. Then the radar doesn't work so they get a chap from the kitchen who know a bloke back home who knows someone who fixes computers to talk over the phone but the Russians intercept the call and as a gesture of fraternal navy types offers to fix their broken kit. Lovely isn't it. The captain was a new girl who had never been on a ship before, I think she was about 12 year old. Weird was it just a bad dream, have a look on catch up if you don't believe me.

Saw lots of cops with machine guns in Birmingham yesterday and helicopters overhead. A coup perhaps, Boris facies being prime minister, why doesn't somebody tell him he already is and he needs to act like it for a change. Weird times we are living through, so glad I grew up back in the day. Mind you lots of fighter jets over Cumbria today, I think its part of the campaign they started in lock own to ensure nobody from those nasty cities goes near their open air, bit like Derbyshire, boycott both they deserve no tourism at all. Frightening isn't it, the moment you grow up is when you realise that there is nobody out there that knows any better than you about anything!

Some shots from Penrith, almost in Yorkshire Dales national park now, see what happens when you are nasty to people in clock downs you get sent to Yorkshire.
