  Saturday 30th 58F/14C [7.30] Bright but cloudy. Peaking at 19C. Rather breezy. With westerly gusts to 12m/s. 69F/21C in the room. 60F/15.6C in the greenhouse. 

 Up at 3am due to continuous coughing. Went back to bed at 5am and slept until 7am.

 I must get out for some fresh air. It might help to clear my lungs. I am making no progress just sitting around.

 10.15 Rather overcast. Back from a walk to the road. I made it 100m along the road but then crossed and turned back. Coughing violently.

 The day was wasted on YouTube and dozing or napping. Coughing at intervals.

 Dinner will be a cheese roll and tomato soup.

29.05.2026 Was I there?

  Friday 29th 44F/6.7C [5.00] Another sunny day is promised. Peaking at 23C/74F after lunch. 68F/20C in the room. 48F/9C in the greenhouse. Where I have been leaving the skylights open day and night. 

 Up at 4am because I couldn't stop coughing. Despite using two pillows. I'll have to go back to bed eventually. No chance of attending the physiotherapy course in Assens today. I'd hoped for a full recovery by now. 

 10.00 I stayed up for hours. Then went back to bed until now. The coughing is still making me dizzy. I cancelled the physio course. New time in a fortnight.

 And so it continued all day. Naps and dozing on YouTube.

 Dinner was a salmon pasty and chips. 

 10.15 The sky to the north is orange.

28.05.2026 Ferrari Louse bubble car bursts.

 ~?~

  Thursday 28th 44F/6.7C. Bright start to another sunny day.  It will hover just above 20C all afternoon. 68F/20C in the room. 47F/8.3C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 5.10 after another awful night. Coughing non-stop.  Stomach aches. Getting up to top-up the fire bucket at hourly intervals, if that. I went upstairs at 4am to fetch a spare pillow. Simply stacked under the original this ended the coughing. Though by now I was wide awake. 

 6.30 breakfast.

 8.00 Back to bed.

 9.00 Started coughing. It has taken numerous attempts to sleep this long.

 It seems even the megachurch pastors don't want the Ferrari EV bible/bubble car to add to their collections. Shares are in free fall. They could have made a 3D printed front bumper. Stuck it on the nose of a Tesla S or Roadster. Painted it red. Then charged ten times as much. They'd still go like hot cakes to the tax-free classes. Job done. Ferrari factory future secured. But now what?   

 I went back to bed before lunch and woke much later. It seems my baby sitter has caught my cough.

 18.30 Still coughing. Still getting dizzy every time. Had lunch but I can't face dinner. I'll just have a tuna roll. Perhaps toasted? The bread roll. Not the tuna. 

 In practice I would have preferred not toasted. 

 Still coughing. Still seeing acute, spherical triangles. Rotating like jewels on the rectangular frame of a black, velvet background. 

 I have found the phone number of the physiotherapist. I shall ring tomorrow to cancel the physio course until am feeling better. Not to mention no longer contagious.
