Sunday 27th 53F/12C. Dark grey overcast, damp, wet and windy. Rain promised for this morning. Brighter later.
Up at 7.40 6.40 after an unusually quiet night. It must be all that cycling. Or getting up far too early yesterday. I forgot to set the clocks back. As you do. When you are a lifelong clock watcher, collector, builder, repairer and restorer of clocks.
I had a walk to the lanes. Cool but not cold. Nothing unusual to report. I was tempted to walk to the woods but was afraid I might become ill with nobody around. Which was a bit silly. Because nobody is around while I am at home. Or out on my bike. Or even in the car.
I spent an hour this morning exchanging a 1/4 of the aquarium water and cleaning the tank. The plants are showing bright green leaves after being coated with ugly brown algae for weeks. Not uncommon because of the explosion of nutrients in the water. Before beneficial bacteria can establish themselves. These would consume nitrates and stabilize the water chemistry. I have removed one LED light strip and will reduce the amount of food I give the fish.
I need to go shopping.
I remembered to take the dustbin along the drive in the pitch dark. The stars were bright.
Dinner was sardines on toast with halved tomatoes. Followed by a whole tin of tomato soup. There weren't enough rolls left to have one with the soup. I shall be in town tomorrow for physio. So I can easily buy more rolls. I seem to have been eating rolls all day long.
I finished off the day by washing up. An all too rare occurrence. I still have no explanation for a missing fork. There are four knives but only three matching forks. I have been looking for another fork in the charity shops but am unlikely to find anything similar.
