Friday 25h 63F/17.2C. Bright overcast. Expected to remain grey all day. Possible early showers. Peaking at 20C/68F.
Up at 5:55:55 after a quiet night. I deliberately swapped to a cup of tea after dinner instead of coffee.
7.00 I need some 16mm galvanized, or stainless steel, nuts and bolts. If I am to continue with the carport. That probably means a ride to a slightly more distant builders merchant. The nearest at 10km carries very little stock in the way of fasteners. The other is well furnished. With a vast range of nuts and bolts. Though it is a pleasant and hilly, 32km/20 mile round trip. If I use this as an excuse for a ride. It will eat up a lot more time. Than going in the Morris.
7.30-8.00 A short walk. Traffic quiet. Well, more like noisy but well separated. I didn't notice any birds singing this morning.
I tootled around the carport after lunch. Straightening up the foundation blocks and backfilling. With self-stabilizing gravel well tamped down. I tried the high left jack on the carport roof. It was no problem lifting it but it was very unstable.
Dinner was mackerel on toast with fresh tomatoes.
After dinner the lady from the village requested my help with a minor repair. So I drove round to her place. Job successfully completed.
