9.09.2026 Sick.

 ~?~

  Wednesday 9th

  Woke feeling hot and sweating. Nausea. Spent 45 minutes sitting on the toilet. No diarrhea. Went back to bed. Then woke later to vomit in a bucket. Horrible taste and smelt like chemicals. 

 11.00 Going back to bed and still feeling awful. Pain in my heart but no point in taking my tablets if I throw up again. Had a glass of water.

8.09.2026 Euforia now talks to my PC.

  Tuesday 8th 62F/17C [8.00] Very heavy overcast. 22 hours of rain forecast. 21C/70F in the room. The greenhouse is tracking the outside temperature. So no need to record it unless it is significantly different.

 Up at 7am after a fairly quiet night.  

 I had time to tidy up a little before my friend arrived. Bearing gifts of spandauers. A Danish pastry.

 My English friend visited me today. Leaving around 14.00. After two hours of chatting and having sorted out my phone's unwillingness to talk to my PC. I use this arrangement to monitor the robot mower in action. My problems were largely due to using too large a font on the phone screen. Set before I bought my new progressive glasses. 

 The afternoon was spent on YouTube.

 Dinner was a chicken fry-up. With mushrooms, toast and tweggs.

7.09.2026 Euforia is flashing!

 ~?~

  Monday 7th 56F/13C [7.20] Overcast but sunny periods expected. Peaking at 21C/70F in the late afternoon. The rest of the week is unstable. 20C/68F in the room. 14C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 7.50 after a busy night at the fire bucket. No idea why. 

 I have an appointment for an exercise therapy class at 11am in town. I shall have to find my gym shorts and shoes. 

 I  have attached the mini-UPS and strobe light to the robot mower by the simplest possible method. The strobe unit has two projecting studs. I added a single nut to each. Then twisted the strobe diagonally to make the nuts fit into the provided screw slots on the back of the UPS. 

 Then I simply lowered the UPS into the mower's lifting handle. I have yet to check if the addition will fit under the charging garage roof. I wish the strobe unit was a bit brighter. Though I can see it flashing clearly in the distance in the security camera's view. 

 The light fitted easily under the garage roof. So I can relax on that score. If the mower is parked I just need to lift the light and UPS free. To recharge indoors.

12.30 69F/21C. Back from the exercise class. There were only four of us. Three others in far worse condition than myself. Plus two attentive therapists. I was doing fine until we were asked to sit on huge, softballs. When we were asked to bounce up and down I immediately felt dizzy. I lay down on a padded bench until I felt better.

 A lovely, sunny day. Pleasantly warm but breezy. I'll have lunch and then think about another ride. Although I was using an exercise bike at the start of the class. I realised that I never sprint any more. Nor put much effort into climbing. The e-bike does it all for me. I get continuous exercise but it probaby doesn't raise my heart rate by much. Nor cause deep breathing.

 13.45 It has become much more cloudy and rather windy from the south. I was going for a ride but my mood has changed completely with the changeable weather. 

 14.45 Much brighter. A ride? Yes/No.Yes! 

 16.45 Back from a 35km ride to the new railway. I am absolutely knackered. From battling the wind all the way home. Even using Turbo mode it was very hard work. Half a dozen teenage scooterists were screaming up and down the empty lanes. Another lad was on a lightweight motorcycle. Which had a truly terrifying turn of speed. At the cost of a screaming motor. I just hope he and his hearing survive. 

 I had a half hour, timed nap to recover.

 Dinner was Heinz beans on toast. Thank god that was the last of them! They were a cheap, special offer in a local Danish supermarket. I bought half a dozen tins. Expecting traditional British quality. Not this sugar laden, tasteless crap. I shall never criticize the Danish/Italian baked beans ever again!
