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.

27.05.2026 Richly deserved?

 ~?~

  Wednesday 27th 47F/8.3C [6.05] A sunny day with a northwesterly wind. 19C/66F this afternoon.C.-C

 Up at 5.25 after a disturbed night due to coughing and stomach pain. One of my close medical professional advisers has suggested. That there may be a link between my low blood pressure and fluid on the lungs. 

 My baby sitter will be heading home today. Her patient help has been invaluable during my incapacity. She was cooking as well as washing up and cleaning. A clear cut case of modern slavery.  

 My nose is threatening a bloody red respray this morning. Despite my best effort to redirect violent sneezes around my stinging snozzle.  

 Completely off the subject but have you seen the latest EV obscenity? Which Ferrari has released as a half million pound, oversized, designer, training shoe. For middle management drug ring dealers, mega church pastors and dictators' toddlers? Richly deserved? Dontcha just love nepotism? 🙄

 A constant stomach ache but less coughing this morning. Had a bout of explosive diarrhea. If that's not too much information. I'm blaming the involuntary conversion to vampirism at the hospital! 

 Safely home again after dropping my baby sitter at the bus stop in the village. Shopped on the way back. 

 I have had a call from a physiotherapist in Assens. First class starts on Friday morning. That was quick!

 14.30 66F/19C. Full sunshine. Breezy. The greenhouse is staying cool at 81F/27C. All skylights open and eastern double door. All interior house doors are also open. Continuing and almost continuous, stomach pains.

  Dinner was mackerel in tomato sauce on toast with tomatoes. No picture. It has stayed down so far. I am cold despite the 72F in the room. I have closed all the doors and put on a fleece jacket.

26.05.2026 I've not been well.

 ~?~

 Tuesday 26th 57F/14C [7.10]  Promised to be warmer still at 25C/77F this afternoon. Though a more cloudy day.

 Up at 5am after an awful night. Uncomfortable, coughing, sneezing and aching. Nauseous with heartburn when I lay on my side. Pain across my stomach, every time I needed the fire bucket. Which was roughly twice an hour. I told you I haven't been well. 

 A nurse from the city hospital rang to follow up on m recent visit. We had a pleasant chat in my best Danglish.     

 After that it was a long day of drifting between YouTube and slowly exploring the sun filled garden. With occasional naps for good measure. My babysitter planted some of my collection of dark foliage plants and trees. 

Dinner was a beautifully presented salad. Which thankfully stayed down. The toasted bread rolls provided an interesting contrast. I limited myself to only one half and did not risk a sip of red wine tonight. Nor evening coffee.
