So mild in Exeter this morning, that a single fleece was easily warm
enough. The high street retailers won't be able to use last year's
excuse of snow and bad weather to explain their pretty inexoarble
declime. What will this year's excuse be? Too mild for winter clothes?

Presently very dry and 11.5C. Very pleasant December weather and so
much better than last year, at this time!

No matter the weather I can't think of anything I would less like to do
than go to a High Street shopping, especially this week. I often wonder if
the Government fully takes in to account the amount of shopping on line,
including Ebay and Amazon when they do their health of the economy blurb.
They always seem to think that "High Street sales are down" mean everyone
is on the bread line.

I've just come back from visiting my local town (Bovey Tracey) 900 feet down
the hill. That's it for me, no high street for me this year. Last weekend we
spent walking, shopping, you can keep it, horrible chain stores that are far
too hot and sweaty hordes of people - yuck.

The weather's boring this year, but at least I won't be distracted from my
alcohol by the snow this time :-)

Plenty of sledges still for sale in the outdoor shops LOL
