12th October 2018 The Indian Summer continues.

Friday 12th 51-65F, calm, clear and expected to be bright all day when the sun rises. We might see 68-70F today. Which is rather rare for 55N in October.

An 11th Century, village church shines through the mist from its leafy, prehistoric mound. The huge altar stone lying outside and no doubt once used for human sacrifices, still makes lawn mowing a chore.

The Danish news relates that more terrorists have been throwing stones at traffic from motorway bridges. A little further away in Horsens this time. The police closed the motorway to ensure the debris was cleared. They are having much less luck than the German police. Who have just arrested two 18-year olds for throwing rocks from motorway bridges on numerous occasions.

It seems that there is a lower age limit for terrorism and they may escape a serious sanction on those grounds. We must hope their victims are satisfied with these sorts of criminals receiving only a short, community service order for attempted, mass murder. 

Talking of fuckwits: The street shootings between gang members continues unabated the length and breadth of Denmark. I hope the dope heads appreciate the sacrifice their "victimless crime" habits are causing their eager young suppliers.

Imagine existences so terrifyingly dull that they need chemical aids just to feel remotely alive? It's a bit like the national obsession with "happy pills" to ensure the Danes stay at the top of the global rankings.

Walked along the road to the steep track up to the woods. Down through the overgrown forest and back the other way. I had to make a quick exit when a huge spraying machine appeared over the hill. Fortunately the breeze was in my favour. Not so with a second spraying machine which was upwind of me as I neared home.

A detour uphill to the shops and along the lanes through the colourful, beech forest. Ten miles.

Mink gulls on hearing the breakfast bell.

Saturday 13th 57-69F, pink skies and breezy with sunshine. The forecast is for up to 73F today. Though the DMI has been overestimating maximum temperatures every day so far of this warm spell. Just a brisk 40 minute walk. Too busy for a ride.

Sunday 14th, 50-64F, bright and breezy. Another warm day is forecast. Pleasantly warm for my walk despite the wind. The rooks foraging on the fields soon flew away. Leaving the braver, hooded crows behind. The low sun cast shadows on the undulations and emphasized the precise, mechanical nature of the crop rows. Too busy for a ride.
