10.01.2025 Visiting hours.

 ~o~

  Friday 10th 30F-1C. White frost, overcast and misty.

  Up at 5.30 wide awake. Stove lit and warming the room rapidly. My English friend is coming to visit later. Hoover, tidy, more tidying, laundry, did the washing up. I have lost some storage and gained only a little. So I need to rearrange my ideas about the kitchen set-up. Much of it was forced on me by circumstances. Rather than choices made for maximum efficiency and convenience. Every change I make demands I discard fixed ideas.

 12.20 My friend has left after a lengthy chat and offering advice on further improvements. It is always useful to have other's opinions. Different viewpoints, without the attachment and limitations of ingrained habits.             

 I went to the village to collect more tablets. My prescription had run out but had not been renewed. So I'll have three days without one type. There is no weekend service. I have an appointment to see the doctor on Monday anyway.

17.00 33F/+1C. 41F/5C in the greenhouse thanks to the earlier sunshine. The wind has dropped. So I fitted the missing pane back into the greenhouse. It was quite a struggle. Polycarbonate plastic is very flexible compared to glass. Which is probably why it was sucked out. I'll put some small bolts in tomorrow. Just as extra security.

Dinner was organic beef sausage, organic tweggs, mushrooms and Sugar Drop cherry tomatoes.
