14.09.2024 Convoy!

 Saturday 14th 43F/6C[8.15] Bright with sunshine promised. NW winds.

 

 Up at 7.00 after a fairly quiet night. I had to get up and put on a jumper to get warm. The room has dropped to 62F/17C. I am wearing my down sweater to avoid lighting the stove this morning. I should remove the shade nets from the greenhouse to gain a little warmth from the sun. My thigh is still burning from the bite and/or treatment. 

 12.00 Returned in continuous sunshine from my first group outing with the Nordic Morris Minor Klub. We drove in a convoy of about 30 cars into town. Very thoughtfully the leader pulled into the side of the main road on a long straight. To allow the traffic to pass and to allow tailenders to rejoin. Where they had been dropped at various junctions along the route. I ended up chatting to two delightful ladies about the Morris Minor and their long term relationship with the car and club. 40 years!  

 Dinner was a fry up of chicken, mushrooms and eggs. I had lit the stove briefly to boost room temperatures. From 62F to 66F. [17C to 19C] I still slept with a jumper over my usual t-shirt. I may bring down a warmer duvet from upstairs. Only as a temporary measure before lighting the stove becomes the norm.
