  Sunday 21st. 66F/19C. [7.30] A long, hot, breezy, sunny day is promised. It may reach 28C/82F this afternoon. A risk of thunderstorms not far to the west.

Up at 6.45 after dozing on and off for hours. My back and hip hurt. I am hobbling around like an old man! A walk might be sensible. Or not. I'll be lucky to make it down the drive to the road.

 9.15. 73F/23C. Back from the lanes. The pain eased off as I plodded. The sun already hot. Making the shade more comfortable thanks to the cooling breeze. Assorted white butterflies foraged on the overgrown verge. The two, dark brown, birds of prey were sitting out on the same field again. Amazing eyesight that they saw me while looking straight into the sun. With only my head showing over the nearby, unharvested crop. Yet again they moved over to the next field beyond and hid behind the hedge. Time for morning coffee.

 17.00 81F/27C. It has clouded over. Risk of evening cloudbursts has spread over Fyn. The day was spent resting and doing homework online. YouTube homework. 🙄 Though I did catch up on day's worth of washing up. Just to avoid starvation.

 Dinner was mackerel on toast. No pictures. You know what that looks like.
