Wednesday was the best day. We took in the Lakeside Aquarium, not the size of other aquariums I've been to true but there were things to see and learn there. Such as ants crawling along a rope to transport food, or the mention of sex changing fish (examples of both ways). Virginia and I then took the Windermere Cruiser from Lakeside to Bowness and back, with enough time for a toasted cheese sandwich at Bowness for me. Very pleasant very tranquil cruising on the water on a lightly loaded ship, seeing scenery out of "Swallows and Amazons". Something archetypal in the landscape that matched complemented the unconscious.

On the way back we patronised the Lakeland Motor Museum, which has a lot of exhibits to see. A good range of cycles to see showing the history of development, a lot of small steps. The hosts for the week at Abbot Hall Hotel put on a quiz in the evening (we didn't go to most of what they put on which was naughty) but Virginia did well at the quiz. I failed totally to recognise songs from the 1960s based on the first few seconds.
