 Monday 28th 49F/9C. Dark grey overcast. A long, wet day is promised.

 Up at 6.10. I need a bigger fire bucket! In the absence of a suspect I am framing the tin of Heinz tomato soup. This is a topical joke. For those who are awake.

 Physio exercise class today. What can possibly go wrong? 😂

 I finally managed to shrink the self aggrandizement image of our hero at top right. Resized to 150 pixels instead of the Google default 312. My beard, in real life, has shrunk too. The self portrait was the result of investing in a new cam and LED video light. Intending them to be used on WhatsApp for video chats. The camera and light have since enjoyed almost zero exercise.

 11.40 Returning from physio. Where everything went fairly well. Followed by a long chat with one of the physiotherapists. She has talked me into contacting the Danish national bereavement council. Where they can provide psychiatric help in the absence of such a local service being available. 

 The therapist is worried about my continuing depression, guilt and sleep disturbance over the loss of my wife. It was nice just having somebody to talk to. I feel I have a lifetime bottled up with no other outlet than my blog. Yet feel guilty for burdening others with my story. The exercises and stationary cycling have greatly improved my physical condition. There is still little or no socializing. 

 I lit the stove early because the room was only at 63F/17C. Not really warm enough for watching YouTube videos. Nor TV later.

 Dinner will be chicken, mushrooms and boiled potatoes. Now I can see into the future.
