Thursday 1st November 44/51F, windy but clearing and brightening. It could be dry and sunny, or cloudy with rain. Eeny, meany, miney..

The very top of the news is that the US Chancellor, Adolf Chump, is sending 15,000 brown shirts to the border to fight off an invasion of desperate, South American, economic terrorists.

Bozo, equally desperately, wants them as warehouse slaves workers but Chump won't let them in. Leading to a crash in The Slave Markets due to a lack of cheap "bulk raw materials" from the Amazon.

Right at the bottom of the news: Scientists have grossly underestimated the amount of heat soaked up by the oceans. Meaning that the 1.5C "safe limit " is now completely out of the window.

I enjoyed a longer walk again today. This time going in the opposite direction up to the woods and back again via the spray tracks around the fields. The forest tracks had been cleared so I did a loop to capture some of the glorious colours of the beech trees. Too busy for a ride today.

If a forest troll put a spell on somebody boastful then this must be close to the most likely result. Is it just me or does it look like Trump?

Friday 2nd 48F, overcast, misty with rain promised for this morning. The Danish news is that a transport company may have been slave trafficking and paying imported drivers less than £2/$2 per hour while housing them on the bare floors of empty lorry containers. Give a sociopath a little power...

Just a brisk walk to the lanes in windy, grey conditions. Thousands of gulls were spiraling and hundreds more of them were on their way to join them. It turned wet in the afternoon.  No ride today.

Saturday 3rd 36F, still and clear. The traffic was quiet on my walk. Even the mink gulls had dozed off. I am being allowed out for a ride! Only occasionally breezy. Enough loose gravel on the cycle paths to cover a car park! Only 15 miles.

Sunday 4th 37F bright and breezy. A cloudy day is expected. The sheer number of items bought online has added 13,000 lorries to Denmark's roads. Meanwhile, PostNord is up to its scalp in debt.

My walk, in glorious early sunshine, was interrupted by a grey dustbin lid rapidly covering the entire sky. The temperature felt as if it had dropped 20 degrees and cold easterly wind sprang up.

Simultaneously WW3 broke out as hunters let rip at the intensively reared wildlife. Hundreds of gulls chose that moment to leave the area. It was all a bit tense for a moment there.

Several drivers waved at me but I haven't a clue who they were. There were a couple of unusual sights today: A tractor with a huge, long, open trailer paused before pulling out at a junction. Standing right in the middle of the trailer was a cow. Moments later a car with a trailer went past. With a classic, scrambler motorcycle standing perfectly upright in the middle. Not bad for a 40 minute walk to the village and back.
