Monday 14th 60F/15.6C [6.45] Bright but cloudy. With scattered showers later. Thunderstorm and cloudburst warning from 11.00 until late afternoon.
Up at 6.15 after an odd night. I was doing well until 2am and was then wide awake for long periods.
7.00 Time for a walk.
7.10 I am readying for my walk but it is becoming darker and darker. I shall just have to wear my rain jacket again.
7.40 Returning dripping with sweat. I had to take the ran jacket off soon after leaving. The humidity was only at 75%. I expected it to be much higher. My lower back was painful. So I had to keep going until the pain subsided. A serious cyclist went past. Tires roaring even louder than a Tesla.
I wiped the plastic, traffic safety mirror with a tissue. Which turned black. This helped but needs more to restore the polish to the plastic surface. Gargoyle suggests mild soap and warm water. It's 200m away! It's not going to be very warm by the time I have walked all along the drive. Running isn't in my job description. Then I should be buffing with wax furniture polish. Or even baking soda. Best not with the latter. To avoid being burnt as a witch! Though I should be safe. The only cat's around here are not mine.
I stopped to chat to the neighbours' chickens. I think they've sent me to Coventry. Or whatever the Danish equivalent is for deliberate non-communication. In the event of gross egg theft and discounted consumption via a third party. Not much else to report. If it gets any darker indoors I shall be searching for my torch.
10-10.30 64F/17.8C. Overcast. I took a chance with the weather and rode into the village. 10.4km and shopping in half an hour. No wind. The local turbine group was still. I exchanged nods and waves with assorted other cyclists.15.45 We have already had a few rumbles of thunder. Now a large area of rain has bubbled up from nowhere on the radar. Just to the east of our location. I had just opened up the greenhouse because it was getting so hot in there. After closing the doors and window in expectation of heavy rain earlier.
17.00 Tipping down! The rain was so dense it was like fog. Obscuring the view of the trees beyond the carport.
Dinner was poached, free range eggs, on toast.
