5.10.2026 Sausage manglais?

 ~?~

  Monday 5th 55F/13C [8.50] Rather heavy overcast. Possible sunny periods between the clouds. Peaking at 17C/63F. Rather windy from the SW. Gusting to 13m/s [30mph] for hours.

 21C/70F in the room with the heat pump remote set to 19C/66F. AI says to hang the remote on an inside wall. There isn't anything suitable. Only the wood stove chimney.

 Up at 8.00 when my minder sent me a message.  I had a quiet night with more weird dreams. 

 Exercise therapy again this morning. 

 Back from my torture session. It went well. My legs are strong but my back isn't.

 I sent Euforia, the robot mower, out for a couple of tours this afternoon

 No afternoon nap. 

 Dinner was mangled sausage on wholemeal bread rolls. I fried one portion of sausages and realised it was not enough. So I used a plastic spatula to break up the nearly cooked remains in the frying pan.

4.10.2026 33km and the embankment.

  Sunday 4th 50F/10C [9.25]  Bright sunshine. Sunny periods peaking at 15C. Light westerly winds.

 21C/70F in the room. Heat pump remote set to 18C/64F.

 Up at 8.45! After waking, dreaming and drifting. Another ride?

 10.15 Back from a walk around the drives on the back fields. A male pheasant was caught out in the middle of the newly sewn field. Without any local cover it dashed off to the far side. Quite a distance. 

 I decided to have an afternoon ride. Neither battery was fully charged. 

 16.10 Back from a 33km ride. Heading north up to the new railway track. Where the embankment seems to have finally reached the required height at the new bridge. 

 It was mostly bright sunshine but several large plates of cloud went over. There was a blustery crosswind for most of the ride..

 I shopped in the distant village on the way back. Still more roads closed for the district heating expansion. It seems to go on forever. I was directed to use the railway underpass. Which meant quite a steep flight of stairs. So I had to dismount. 

 Dinner was free range pork sausage, mushrooms and plum tomatoes.

3.10.2026 39km in bright sunshine.

  Saturday 3rd 50F/10C [7.50] Mist clearing to sunshine and 17C. Modest southerly winds. 21C/70F in the room. It was 24C/75F at bedtime!

 Up at 7.20 after being too hot and lying awake in the night. I got up for an hour at 2.30 and sat watching YouTube.

 I should enjoy my Saturday morning ride today. 

 First I had a walk around the loop. It was quiet, sunny, warm and pleasant.

 13.25 Back from a 39km ride. I started on the untreated leg from Glamsbjerg to Voldtofte. Of the new cycle path. 

 Then I climbed up to the ridge overlooking the sea to the south. Where I photographed an old farmhouse my wife and I looked at. Years ago now. When it was cheaply for sale. It was very isolated. 

 A number of outbuildings have been demolished. A young chap was working on renovating the place. He vanished and the place remains as he left it. The view of the sea is blocked by the humped field in front of it. 

 Bright sunshine, very steep, but empty rural lanes and a gusty wind. Marked most of this section of my ride.

 I did some light shopping on the way home. No chicken breasts. Not unless I was willing to pay double for half the quantity in free range! 

  Dinner was a salmon pasty, peas and chips. 

 10.00 I have been watching TV. The heart pain returned. I used the nitro spray and the pain has gone.
