7.07.2025 On a roll.

 ~o~

  Monday 7th 56F/13.3C[7.00] Bright, when the forecast says rain. It's all happening just to the east. As a huge area of rain moves towards the NE. It looks more like sunny periods than the forecast showers. 

 Up at 6.30 after an over-active night.       

 7.40  Time for my walk. 

 8.20 60F/15.6C. Back from a walk to the lanes under grey, broken skies. Only the gentlest of breezes once I was away from the tall, roadside hedges. Huge clouds were dragging their dark and ragged underskirts off to the north. The warblers were still singing away. A large tabby cat strolled past at the junction to the lanes. I don't  remember ever seeing a cat just there. The traffic was unusually light for a Monday. The annual invasion of billions of slugs was visible every few yards. Splattered on the asphalt. 

 I intend to walk back and clean the mirror opposite the end of the drive. It is plastic and attracts dew and dirt. Unlike the official glass one above. The kommune [council] wouldn't put up two safety mirrors. To protect those exiting the drive on a fast, blind corner. Most of the traffic is speeding and not expecting a vehicle to suddenly appear, from nowhere, in their path. 

  Of course I didn't take my cleaning trip. I was too taken up with more projects at home.

 Dinner was an experiment. It should have been toast but I made chicken and mushroom rolls instead. Which required a degree of juggling to consume but were otherwise fine. I let things cool on a plate. Before adding the contents of the frying pan to the rolls. I think I could enjoy toasted cheese on open, toasted rolls.
