Up at 5.40 after another difficult night. Bad dreams and lying awake for ages.
I may be repaired enough to go for a ride today. Too many long ride had taken their toll on my undersides. Depending on my plans for distance traveled I can try out the chamois cream. As usual I haven't a clue where I might want to go. My destination is usually chosen entirely on a whim.
11.00 67F/19C. Sunny. Still looking at potential routes for a ride. I need to shop too.
12.15 70F/21C. I decided to stay at home and work on dismantling the observatory. It is hot work in the sunshine. Only four more sheets of cladding plywood removed so far. Reaching the fixing screws from ladders behind the observatory is proving a chore. With the oak trees getting in the way. I had better have a rest and early lunch.16.30 70F/21C. Warm with sunny periods. Demolition of the outer observatory building is going steadily. Most of the plywood cladding boards have been taken down. There are always more screws to undo. Many of them hidden by the noggings.
These horizontal braces were added after the full height frames were pulled upright. I used a lot of 150mm/6" screws to hold the frames together. With 10mm galvanized coach bolts near the top for extra security.
No ill effects apart from tiredness and aching all over. Now that I have stopped for a rest and a cup of tea. And a nap.
I should have gone shopping. It will just have to be toast again.
18.15 It started raining lightly but only briefly.
Dinner was poached eggs on toast.
