26.10.2026 Voluntary torture session.

 ~?~

  Monday 26th 46F/8C [8.25] Bright overcast. Sunny periods and odd showers. Temperatures peaking at 12C later this afternoon. Winds gusting to 13m/s as the westerly winds reduce slowly. Continuing to blow for the next two days as they turn more southerly. 

 A cosy 23C/73F in the room.

 Up at 7.40 after a rather disturbed night. My sleep patterns are obviously disrupted. 

 No time for a after my chat with my minder.

 Exercise therapy this morning. I can do some shopping while I am in town.   

 13.15 Back from town after my exercise class. I became dizzy at one point but recovered after a drink of water. My back continues to be my weakest point. I did some shopping afterwards. 

 Two male pheasants chose the moment of my passing by in the car to cross the lane. I was fully expecting a cloud of feathers and blood on the road. I may go for a ride this afternoon. It looks as if the entire length of the new Assens to Glamsbjerg cycle path is now surfaced. 

 The afternoon was wasted on YouTube. Or dozing.

 Dinner was wholemeal bread rolls. Decorated with herring in a curry sauce on two halves. With extra mature Cheddar cheese, with halved cherry tomatoes, on the other two. Followed by a small mug of milky coffee and a digestive biscuit.

  Sunday 25th 47F/8.5C [5.00] A day for fierce, southerly gusts to 24m/s falling slowly. Heavy rain expected 22mm. Temperature peaking early at 8C before climbing to 11C. 

 I was having unpleasant memories and decided to get up. Without taking the 1 hour clock change into account. It was only 4.30. Not the slightly less foolish 5.30.  

 8.10 It has rained but seems to be having a rest. Not blowing as hard as it was earlier. I can see a bright strip of water on the drive. Though it hasn't reached the boundary yet. There are raindrops all over the new, glazed door. Which faces north and is sheltered by the large roof overhang.

 Perhaps I ought to have a walk while I can. The DMI radar shows a gap in the rain clouds.

 8.40  Back from my walk. It was dry, even a glimpse of sunshine. The wind was highly variable. No miniature guard dog today.

 10.40 I dragged the recycling bin along the drive in my wellies. It was blowing a gale and raining. The absent neighbour's bins had both blown over. To join the builder's debris left scattered all around there. It must be well over a year ago now.

 It blew and it rained as I dozed on the computer. No point in risking a nap. I have already exceeded my allowance.

 Dinner was chicken and mushroom curry with Ben's medium sauce.

  Saturday 24th 48F/9C [8.50] Wet and very windy from the south. Peaking at 12C and 18m/s.

 Up at 04.00 after a sleepless night. I was feeling too hot. Despite the nominal 22C in the room. A reaction to the jabs? AI says yes. The body is racking up a response to its immune system. As long I don't become a zombie. From lack of sleep.

 Back to bed at 5.30. Slept until 8.30. More weird dreams.  

 10.00 I've had my chat with my minder. 

 Rain and gales do not make for a pleasant walk. The bright water is running down the drive. It reflects the grey sky. Making it easy to see. As chains of small puddles. The house is least protected from southerly winds. All other directions are protected by tall trees and shrubs. 

 It rained quite heavily at times. Though I was hardly aware of the wind. That may change tomorrow. 

 Another day wasted on YouTube.

 My timed afternoon nap became a nonsense. After I turned off the ringing and went straight back to sleep. 

 Dinner was wholemeal bread rolls. With an assortment of decoration.
