  Wednesday 17th 54F/12C [8.20] Overcast. Expected to be cool and cloudy. Then afternoon rain. Peaking around 16C/61F. SW wind going southerly. Gusting to 8m/s.

 Up at 7.40 after a weird night. Woke at midnight with my head spinning. I was going to get up at 6.40. Then it was 7.20 and I was coughing. 

 I'd like to go for a short ride but don't feel safe. I started feeling dizzy again. So I went outside to get away from the screen. I brought the recycling bin back.

 Tuesday 16th 51F/11C [7.00] Overcast morning brightening later. Peaking around 16C/61F. Dry with reduced, westerly winds. Gusting to 9m/s. 65F/18C in the room. 56F/13C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 6.30 after an unusually quiet night. The coughing seems to have stopped for the moment after returning yesterday.

 I shall be visiting my English friend. Going in the Morris.

 13.30 Returning from my visit. Where we discussed outdoor Wi-Fi amongst many other things. My friend has years of experience with the equipment involved. I shopped on the way home. 

 I had another dizzy spell during the afternoon. Not nearly as bad as last time. I think it was triggered by scanning my pictures as thousands of thumbnails. I managed to reach my bed and repeatedly tried the Epley maneuvers. This seemed not to help. 

 So I went to bed and slept for probably an hour. I woke half way and the room was still spinning slowly. So I fell asleep again. I am feeling a lot better now. Interestingly, one of my blood thinners causes coughs as a common side effect. Another causes dizziness.  

 Dinner was mackerel in tomato sauce on toast.

  Monday 15th 53F/12C [7.00] Heavy overcast and breezy but dry. Westerly winds reducing slowly. 65F/18.3C in the room. 57F/14C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 6.15 after a difficult night. I was awake for a couple of hours. Coughing reduced again this morning. Noticeably deaf in my right ear again.

 I have a hospital appointment just after lunch in the heart department. For a follow up on my treatment and medication. I have been taking my blood pressure 9 times a day to provide some data.  

 Whoops. My appointment is cancelled. The  nurse who was supposed to see me has gone sick. New appointment pending. 

 Another day on YouTube. 

 Dinner was a chop with tweggs on toast. I broke one egg lifting it out of the pan. Oh the shame!
