16.05.2024 Hiding from the sun.

 ~o~

  Thursday 16th 63F/17C [8.45] Another warm, breezy and sunny day.

Up at 5.0. Regurgitating bad memories. Ribs hurting. Cough and congestion gone.

8.30 Returned from a short walk looping along the drives. Warblers singing. Skylarks overhead.

Went back to bed to catch up.

11.15 I rang the bike shop to see what's happening. Hmm. They have not received the Magura brake hose fittings yet! Disappointing.

11.45 Another mound of washing up completed. 

 17.30 Returned from a drive into the village for groceries. Bright and warm but very windy! The promised phone call on brake hose updates never came. (Sniff!) 😭

 Dinner was a salmon pasty and chips. The mini oven doesn't reach the indicated temperature. I checked the baking tray with a pistol remote thermometer. 175C instead of 230C. It takes far longer than the cooking instructions to brown chips. The pasty took 40 minutes to brown and swell. What to do about it? I haven't a clue. I am not buying another old fashioned cooker! Nor a replacement mini-oven.
