Monday 10th 38F, clear, quite mild but breezy. Still waiting for the sun to rise high enough to be seen. Enjoyed a walk along the marsh to the woods, up through the steep fire breaks and back along the main track to the road. Cormorants, herons and ducks took off as I arrived at the small lake. Low, but bright sunshine is a pleasant change.
The heads of many, large Danish companies have expressed their disappointment with the right wing, Danish government's climate plans. The business leaders are publicly asking for far more ambition on climate if Denmark is to cling onto its rapidly fading, heavily diluted, green credentials.
The right wing leader of the extreme right wing coalition has dismissed their concerns. This, despite the head of the independent climate monitoring panel resigning last week. In protest at political pressure from this year's "Farmer's Rights First" minister of the <cough> environment and junk food. Meanwhile the untouchable dictators of the US, Rustin and Saudi Arabia have all put their own wealth and absolute power before saving the planet. No ride today.
Tuesday 11th 33-40F, rather cloudy with a light northerly wind. Just a brisk walk to the lanes and back. After coffee I cycled north, straight into the wind. Comfortable in my camel-toe GripGrab gloves.
I wish I knew why cars brush closely past me when there is only one car approaching on a long straight. Is it the overtaking driver lacking the mental capacity to lift their foot off the pedal briefly? Insanity? Dementia? Sociopathy? Very low IQ? Bullying? Indifference? Mobile phone abuse behind the wheel? Laziness? Alcoholism? Drug abuse? Pitiful lack of skill in risk assessment? Audi driver? White Van Man? All of the above? Only 14 miles. Went out again after lunch for a total of 19 miles today.
Wednesday 12th 38F, heavy overcast with light winds but some sunshine is promised. In braking [sic] news: May is now so weak that she cannot get out of her car. Googling for "idiot" now produces images of German immigrant: Herr Chancellor Chump. To avoid the publicity he has now applied to have his name officially changed to "King[pin] Cola Coal." Sky is withdrawing support for Sky Team cycling following a takeover of Sky.
Enjoyed a longer walk in a big loop up through the forest. Lots of small birds about. Moving ahead of me along the hedges. Two Whooper swans flew over. I was too warmly dressed but still cool on the hands. It has cleared to sunny periods now but the temperature hasn't changed. Becoming darker and cloudier throughout the afternoon. No ride today.
Thursday 13th 32-38F, variable cloud, light winds. At 9am it was looking quite promising. With fluffy clouds between lots of blue sky. Ten minutes later low, grey cloud had taken over. Followed by light flurries of snow.
