  Saturday 4th 53F/12C. Heavy overcast and much darker than of late. It was raining hard at bedtime last night. [23.00] It is supposed to be cloudy but dry with a little sun later. The wind has gone around to the west.

 Up at 5.30 after a quiet night. My left chest still hurts as badly as ever. Fortunately I haven't coughed yet this morning. Though I can still sense some slight wheezing. I am breathing naturally through my nose. For the first time in ages. Checking back through my posts. First cold symptoms on the 18th of April. Well over two weeks ago.

 I came across YT videos about "farm jacks" yesterday. One of these could be used to lift the 14 concrete, foundation blocks. Once I have dismantled the larger observatory walls. The online dealer was lying when they said they would deliver in 3-5 days. The real delivery delay was 11 days. 

 Of course they only tell you this, via an update email, long after you have paid. To ensure the customer doesn't cancel and go elsewhere. They make this as difficult as possible too. By bombarding the disappointed customer with emails. All the details are in appended files with reams of small text. Lies, damned lies and ComputerSalg.dk!

 Their sales website is still showing 3-5 days for delivery this morning. Delivery from "remote stock." Which could mean that ComputerSalg.dk is a spotty teenager. Running a supposed business on his laptop from his bedroom in his parent's house. Then his computer sends the customer's order straight on to another company. So, ComputerSalg.dk are not even box shifters and hold no stock themselves. Their fancy website is all vapourware. Except that it's not. They have a large warehouse.

 There is no consumer protection in Denmark. So they can legally get away with this patently false advertising. They falsely promise reasonable delivery dates at slightly lower prices to capture the order. 

 Thereby depriving honest companies, with expensive stock, staff costs and storage. From gaining a valuable order.  It would be fascinating to know what proportion of actual delivery dates match their sales website. Of course, nobody will ever know. That might dent their reputation and sales.

  Dinner was chicken and mushroom curry. Somehow I managed to make it tasty and appetizing.
