Thurso, on Wednesday, with rain in the air and not feeling too warm, in the breeze with the feel of a ghost town.
I wondered where everyone was and why most shops were closed quieter than on a Friday afternoon in the far north mainland of Scotland.
The recent temperatures here dropped to 5 degrees C a few days ago.
The temperature at 8 degrees C at 02:04 AM on June 1 2023.
Gardens are not healthy in the grey cloudy, chilly late May weather.
The high street has many empty shops and shops that couldn't be bothered to be open due to costs.
The transport network up here isn't interconnected; the waiting time spans several hours.
My positive experience with the Highland NHS. I was provided with two scans and blood tests over three days.
The Hospital in Wick, which is located 30 miles away from my home situated, in a lively area surrounded by housing and retail, with the river Wick flowing through it. Wick and Thurso with closed, closing, or empty shops. Despite this, both locations have a rich heritage and history.
Recently a building had a partial collapse at 4 AM in the morning when some of it fell from under the roof at the front. This structure was built at a time before foundations were used during construction.
Several churches from different Christian groups seem to be closed, sold off, in ruins or with nobody to lead religious services.
Right now, Friday, June 2, 4 degrees C in my area, nine miles outside Thurso 01:17.
