21.11.2023 Flutes and the MM is back.

 ~o~

 Tuesday 21st 40F/4.4C. A grey but dry morning is forecast. With possible brightening around lunch time. Light winds from the NE. Got up only once again. Then decided to stay up at 6.30 after a quiet night.

 My old car is misbehaving. So it is a good excuse to go to my cooking class on the e-bike. Such opportunities, of dry and relatively quiet conditions, are rare enough at this time of year.  It is cold. So I shall have to dress warmly for the ride. Then change into normal, indoor clothing when I get there. 

 There is a warning for severe gales for the entire west coast of Jylland. [Aka: Jutland] Reaching Fyn on Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully I shall have the Morris Minor back by then. 

  I am trying to accurately monitor the temperature out in the greenhouse. It feels very cold out there this morning. I am using the digital thermometer's outdoor sensor on a long lead. Finding somewhere to place the sensor. Where it isn't affected by the house warmth or sunshine is a problem. 

 I have moved the sensor to hang down behind the logs leaning against the house wall. This ensures shade from the sun but will read high from the warmer house wall. Perhaps I should place the sensor in a polystyrene block but open to the air at top and bottom. The outside thermometer is presently showing 39F. The greenhouse is showing 45F.

 14.30 Returned from the cooking class. Where I made flutes. Long loaves of bread. Others made potato soup and we each made potato and garnish on rye bread. All very tasty. The Carlsberg is zero alcohol. I don't drink and drive. Nor drink and ride.

 I stopped on my way home to chat to the Morris Minor specialist. My car has passed official inspection [Syn] without a problem. It will be delivered to my home some time after 15.00. When I shall have to drive him home again. Though I might learn far more about driving these cars. If I let him drive us both back to his garage/workshop. I can then go on to the shops.

 16.30 Returned from the shops. The car is a great improvement. Quiet without the leaking exhaust. The heater is amazing now. Having the other rear view mirror fitted lets me see the width of the vehicle. Not to mention greater safety when reversing.

 20.00 Dinner was a toasted bread roll with marmalade and a small cup of milk. I had eaten at lunch time so shouldn't have needed anything but I suddenly felt hungry.
