No fishing or digging so far this week. The eBay business is having to take priority at the moment. I thought things would slow down a little bit after Christmas but so far so good. The good folks that buy on eBay still have some money left. I suppose it depends on what you are selling. I sell mostly caravan accessories on paulscaravanparts, porcelain and china on paulgood13 and anything else including salted Lugworm on yumyumgoody.

I use my local post office here at Tollgate and there is only the one counter, manned by Joy. Yesterday I had quite a few parcels and it took 19 minutes to post all the stuff. I could hear the mutterings behind me from some of the regulars. Oh well, you cannot please them all. At least I am putting money into the system instead of sucking it out.

I think I will pop down to the shore tomorrow at the end of Barrack lane. It was where that hardy fellow was fishing the other week in a howling gale. There are quite a few snags down there so maybe he lost a weight (sinker) or three. The nice 5 and 6 oz lead jobbies cost about £1.50 from the tackle shops so I like it when I can find some.

The weather is unseasonably cold at the moment with temperatures down at freezing and below. There is a large High pressure sitting over the top of use which is drawing in the Siberian weather. I might have a couple of hours fishing on the stone pier on Thursday morning.  We will see.
