Up at 5.30. I was wide awake at 4.00 but managed to stay in bed.
The cameras caught a deer [at 5.10] and the neighbour's cat overnight. This may be the same deer which was grazing on the back field. Capturing the wildlife on screen was my hope. As long as they aren't two legged rats.
I shall be visiting my English friend this morning. Going in the car because I have to be back for a much needed trim just after lunch. However tempting it might be for a ride. I had better play it safe. My regular hairdresser, of over two decades, has retired.
Seeing myself in 4K on a 32" UHD monitor. From all angles, on my shiny new, security camera system, was a major shock! There ought to be a safety warning on the box. I have duly downgraded my self-image. From "a decent head of hair." to "some remaining hair on head." A "comb over" would be a serious exaggeration of both quality and quantity! 🙄
Now I need to (cough) brush up my Danish hairdressing vocabulary. Just in case they ask how best to avert this latest image crisis. All hope of my becoming a vintage babe magnet is surely gone.
6.40 Sunshine. Time for a walk.
7.12. And back again. Not in the mood to walk far. The wind was already irritating. Down the road then looped around the drives. NO sign of the deer but there is plenty of cover. The neighbours have the tradesmen in. Not sure what they are doing. The white clothing suggests painters. Two vans. At least four young men.
12.30 Back from my visit. I shopped in the village on my way home. I'll have lunch then drive back to the hairdressers.
I bought some aquarium plants too but need to sterilize them first. Perhaps even quarantine them for a couple of weeks. I have never done that in my life before and have been keeping fish and plants for well over half a century.
Dinner was a salmon pasty. With pasta, peas and tinned tomatoes.
