Saturday 19th 58F/14.5C [8.50] Heavy overcast with rain and wind. Two more days of the same. 21C/70F in the room. The heat pump has been on all night. Remote set to 20C.
Up at 8.10 after a quiet night with dreams.
There will be no ride today. Perhaps I should populate the new cupboard.

Friday 18th 63F/12C [7.40] Overcast and windy. Rain and wind expected for several days. 19C/66F in the room. Too cool. I'll fire up the heat pump. Currently set to 20C/68F on the remote.
Up at 7am after an unusually quiet night. Though with lots of dreams.
Time to think about a run to another charity shop? I'd need the trailer and its cover. Or go back if I find something worthwhile. The overall mileage could get very silly again. If four journeys are required.
14.30 Returning from a trip to Fåborg. It rained and blew on the way there. After visiting numerous other charity shops I returned to one. Which didn't open until 13.00. They had several candidates but their prices were higher than other shops. I spent 500kr in the end. On a light wood grain cupboard with drawers. Not too deep and 140cm long.
With the help of a couple of elderly gentleman volunteers it only just fitted in the trailer. I covered it with my thick blanket, roped it down and set off. Only to have to stop in a layby after it started raining. So that I could fit the tarpaulin cover.
16.00 Al is safely gathered in. I used 2x4 stumps to lift the cupboard feet above the trolleys. The cupboard could go back a few more inches. It just needs the cables to be tidied. It's not a masterpiece. Certainly not an antique. Just a cheap, modern piece of furniture. Functional and quite pleasing to the eye. I don't think it has ever been used. Probably refused for the pale mark defacing the central door.
Dinner was a salmon pasty, peas and chips.

Thursday 17th 50F/11C [7.30] Bright overcast. A dry morning followed by continuous rain. 20C/68F in the room. 10C/50F in the greenhouse.
Up at 7am after numerous visits to the fire bucket.
My doctor has already answered my online query about my low blood pressure. He suggests I have a rest from one of the six tablets I take daily for my high blood pressure.
Exercise therapy today. I can go this week because my cooking class is fortnightly.
13.30 The rain has already started. Expected to last three days.
It became winder. Gusting to 15m/s according to the DMI.
Dinner was two boiled eggs on wholemeal bread rolls. Lowered into boiling water. Seven minutes before dumping the hot water and chilling with cold. Five minutes to soak up the remaining heat. Perfect!
