On the warmest December 2nd ever measured I dogded the rain and strong wind at the stream. For a change I fished a different section of the river where the roach allthough small where quite active.At one spot the two dead trees leaning against each other on both banks made an eerie sound as
if they would collapse any minute so I quickly relocated.
If one of those trees would gave way fatal injury would be immenent. I was expecting some dace to be around but only found roach and the odd brown trout.Still a good day and good to see that the river has slightly elevated waterlevels.

At the pub I protested about the fact that the new menu was still not put into practice
and told staff that the folks at Surftalk eagerly awaited some new dishes.
I had hoped to start my dinner today with an onion soup but it was not to be and the
soup of the day was not to my liking.
As a sort of compromise I got the smoky burger today with baked potatoes as side order.
It was pretty good but there was something missing so I ordered a baked feta cheese
salad as well.
To top it all off I choose the plum cake … with cream … and a large coffee, all good.
