24.09.2026 Cooking class.

 ~?~

  Thursday 24th 52F/11C [8.30] Heavily overcast again. Dark indoors. A grey but dry day. Peaking at 15C/59F. 20C/68F in the room. I have lit the heat pump. 

 So much easier than the wood stove. Probably a lot healthier too! Almost immediate heat instead of waiting for ages for the warmth to escape. I should have bought a heat pump years ago. 

 I was woken at 8.00 by my minder. After my being awake again in the night. She has building workers in making a racket. So she was up earlier than usual.

 Cooking class today. Going in the Morris. 

 14.10 Back from cooking class. Where I made a cabbage, orange and nut salad. I also dropped in on the Morris minor expert to ask about spares.  

 No need for dinner.

23.09.2026 Inclemency is my burden.

  Wednesday 23rd 53F/12C [8.00] Heavy overcast. Making it dark indoors. A grey, rainy day. Peaking around 15C/59F. 20C/68F in the room.  Wind increasing steadily to peak at 18m/s after midnight tonight. Continuing into tomorrow.

 Up at 7.20 after a mostly quiet night. I felt warm despite the modest indoor temperature.

 9.45 Just had my daily chat with my minder.    

 18.00 Back from the village supermarkets. I didn't buy any meat. Organic meat has doubled in price from last year! I'll have to rethink my diet. The second supermarket was stocking my lunch rolls again. Not reliably though. 

 I had to buy more petrol. I usually buy 250kr worth. Roughly £29! So the tank needs refilling far more often. As prices rise. 

 The rain persisted heavily. As I was heading back to the car from the supermarket. So I had to make a dash for it. 

 Dinner was poached eggs on toast.

22.09.2026 240km!

  Tuesday 22nd 44F/7C [8.20] Bright but much cooler. A sunny day is promised. Peaking at 17C/63F. With lighter winds. 19C/66F in the room. The heat pump has been turned on. Set to 21C/70F.

 Up at 7.30 after being awake and then up in the night. No explanation. Just wide awake at 3.30. Stayed up until 5.30. Watching YT videos. I did the washing up at 10pm last night.  

 My English friend is coming to me today. 

 We had Danish pastries and then set off in his car. 120km later we were at our destination. We had a good look around and then headed home again. Shopping at the half way point on the way back. It was a perfect day. Pleasantly warm, full sunshine and no wind. 

 Dinner was a chicken fry-up. With mushrooms, tomatoes and tweggs on toast. I am getting paranoid about eggs being properly cooked. Turning them over always results in overcooked. Or broken. I am not sure which is worse.
