30th May 2019 Shades of grey.

*

Thursday 30th 51F, overcast, wet and windy. A religious/bank holiday. No walk! It is only 8.35 and I am already suffering from cabin fever! What a horrible day! The rain and wind never let up.


Here's a moody picture to match the weather.

Friday 31st 55F, dark grey, but calm and dry at the moment. [7.45am] The forecast is mostly cloudy but dry. I had better have a proper walk to catch up on yesterday's almost complete absence of exercise.

A walk to the lanes and beyond in very still but humid conditions. Mist hung over what passes for hills with a clearly defined, lower altitude. A heron went past on its way to the marsh pond. While warblers and chaffinches busied themselves in the hedges.

Talking of which. I attacked the 15' beach hedge with the re-chargeable hedge clippers. I only managed to tame one side. The rest awaits my indulgence.

A young, male cyclist has been seriously injured in the Tour De  Himmelfart, in Odder, East Jylland, Denmark. A woman driver managed to pass the road closure arrangements and collided with the 18 year-old cyclist competing in the Time Trial stage. The young rider is said to be seriously injured but stable in hospital. The race includes classes for all ages from 9 upwards including both male and female riders.
