Thursday 29th 63F/17C [6.30] A few, high, silvery clouds in the east. It will be bright when the sun rises. A high of 27C/81F is promised for today with unbroken sunshine again. Temperatures will be lower from tomorrow.
Up at 5.40 after a fairly quiet night. I woke from a vision of my garden having a perfect lawn over its entire area. Which ranks close to pigs flying on the reality scale.
I still haven't decided whether to ride to cooking class. It adds about half an hour to the journey time compared with driving. The bike ride is by delightful rural lanes. With undulations and views across the gorgeous countryside. Passing through hamlets and villages in almost perfect silence. Except for the birds singing.
The car journey is via main roads. The Morris roaring along [loudly] at 50mph. The Danish national speed limit. With other drivers sitting on my bumper and pushing me along. Because their sociopathy is supposed to be instantly contagious. Zombie mode! So that all traffic must travel at their chosen [illegal] speed. I'll go by bike.
14.30 80F/27C. Back from cooking class on my bike. It was intolerably warm in the large kitchen. I was so hot I felt dizzy. Nobody else seemed too bothered. One entire exterior wall is of glass with roller blinds. Lowering those, to block the sun, merely closed off the two, small, opening windows.
I spent the morning splashing my neck and face with cold water. While steadily drinking my way through lots more cold water.
The complex [hot] meal we made was fine and the mood typically good humoured. I almost nodded off during the chat session after the meal. I felt as if I couldn't keep my eyes open. Coming outside, as we left for home, the air felt hot. I was pedaling against a warm headwind all the way home. 40km today.
Having eaten at lunch time I had no need of an evening meal. I ate an apple.
