30.12.2024 Awash?

 ~o~

  Monday 30th 46F/8C. Continuing grey but windy. The promised storm has been reduced in severity and snow added to the mix. Or heavy rain if we are lucky.

 Up at 6.10 after another quiet night. I was awake at times but just drifted and dozed. As the large red numbers on the digital clock stepped inexorably but silently forwards. I haven't had a morning walk for a while. Let alone taken the bike out. The weather has been too miserable. 

 Hopefully my walking briskly around IKEA. Has made up for the lack of formal exercise elsewhere. Then there was the breathless assembly of the oven cabinet. Running [?] up and down stairs looking for tools. Oh, and the fruitless digging for sewage drainpipes under the lawn. And, the log movements from trailer to greenhouse stack. Digging up stone slabs. The list goes on and on. 

 65F/18C falling slowly in the room. The mild weather is having a benign effect on indoor temperatures.

 14.40 Light rain and gales under a heavy overcast. I have brought all the firewood into the greenhouse. I didn't want to struggle through snow to get more logs from the trailer. I collected the recycling bin from the end of the drive while I was out there.

 The DMI has issued a heavy rain warning. Up to 50mm/ 2" is possible. 

 Dinner was fish fingers, with pasta, peas and tinned tomatoes.
