4.07.2025 No, I am not lost.

 ~o~

  Friday 4th 57F/14C [7.00] A bright start but becoming cloudy with possible showers. 20C/68F peak.

 Up at 6.40 after an odd night. I was up from 3.15-4.15. Otherwise quiet with strange dreams.

 It would be a waste not to have a ride this morning. I can tidy upstairs when it rains.

 One of my new fish is lying dead on the gravel in the greenhouse pond.

 I thought I'd killed the large, golden Cornus in the front garden. After cutting it almost down to the ground. The main branches were mostly dying back. So it badly needed pruning. It has suddenly exploded into leaf from nothing. Far larger leaves than I remember.

 8-9.10. No, I didn't get lost. I walked to the village. Then up to forest via the main  track. Through the overgrown woods and back down via the field edges. I haven't walked that route for years. The main track has been resurfaced with finer gravel since I last passed this way. I disturbed a deer. Which dashed off for 20 meters before stopping to see if I posed a serious threat. Then bounded off out of sight. I don't blame it.

 The Assens county council has obtained the old railway track. Closed to passenger traffic in 1966. Goods traffic ended in 1996. It plans to use a 60% government subsidy to open an 18km cycle path along the old track to Glamsbjerg. Cost is likely to be around £2 million equivalent. 

 What a shame it has no immediate plans to extend it all the way to the city of Odense. Or at least as far as the village of Tommerup. The intermediate countryside is gorgeous. There is an excellent cycle path from Old Tommerup to Brylle. Which is on the way to Odense.

 13.00 71F/21.7C. Windy with sunny periods. Lunch over. I stayed at home. Tidying and changing half the water in the goldfish aquarium. In the afternoon I assembled one of the new shelving units. Then arranged tool trays on the stage.

 Dinner was fried chicken and chips.
