Saturday 8th 60F/16C [8.00] Bright though a bit cloudy. Peaking at 22C/71F. Lighter, westerly winds. 21C/70F in the room. 15C/59F in the greenhouse.
Up at 7.15 after struggling to sleep last night.
Today would have been my wife's 80th birthday. Had she not died of cancer a little over four years ago.
I need a ride. Conditions should be fine today.

Friday 7th 59F/15C [8.45] Overcast morning. Leading to sunshine and a modest 20C/68F. Windy from the west. Gusting to 13m/s or nearly 30mph. 22C/72F in the room. 16C/61F in the greenhouse.
Another day wasted online watching videos. Followed by an hour watching rubbish on Netflix.
Achievements for today? I watered the plants. Indoors and out. Fed the fish. The water lily seems to be producing new leaves. So I haven't killed it from over watering.
Dinner was a salmon pasty with broccoli. The broccoli was dropped into boiling, salted water for four minutes. Then dumped into a colander. This stops it continuing to cook. Maintaining crispness. Thank you Google. I think I'll give it five minutes next time.

Thursday 6th 72F/22C. Bright sunshine. A sunny morning but cool and very breezy. Peaking briefly at only 20C/68F. A pleasant 23C/73F in the room. 20C/68F in the greenhouse. Which seems logical.
Up at 7.15 after a mostly quiet night.
13.15 Returning from my visit. With shopping on the way home. His robot mower "Bob" is doing a great job on his huge lawns. I think he said it all amounted to 3000 m^2. It was really rather windy at times. It had blown several outside plants over. So I placed the plastic pots in the remaining ceramic examples.
I wasted the afternoon by watching endless videos. It rained quite hard later on.
Dinner was tuna on fresh bread rolls.
