2.09.2026 More Downsizing.

 ~?~

  Wednesday 2nd Overcast. Rain forecast for the next three days.

 Up at 7.20. 

 Tipping down. Off to see my friend.

 13.10 Back from my visit. With shopping on the way home. It has rained and poured and generally tipped down, on and off.

 I have finally listed my old metal lathe on a Danish small ads website. I have owned the lathe for over 35 years. It started my clock restoring business in Wales. Later used for my telescope making activities. It holds many happy memories. But, I must downsize. 

 Dinner was fish fingers and chips. It stuck to the baking paper. Oh, the shame!

  Tuesday 1st 61F/16C [8.45] A bright, sunny morning with a risk of showers. A westerly wind gusting to 10m/s. 21C/70F in the room. 16C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 8.20 after failing to take off at 6am.

 I might sneak in a ride this morning. 

 9.50 Had my morning online chat and now it is tipping down! 

 The showers continued on and off. Heavily at times. 

 I did nothing all day. Except sit on the computer. I brought down the dry laundry from the clothes horses upstairs. Put the pile of washing up away.

 Dinner was thinly sliced, fried chicken on bread rolls.
