8.07.2025 Man about town.

  8th July 56F/13.3C [6.50]  Rain with scattered showers promised. Possibly with thunder.

 Up at 6am after a fairly quiet night.

The tomato plants are doing well in the warm greenhouse.

 8.30 Back from a half hour walk. Lots of cloud but dry. Quite a gentle wind. The warblers were still singing away in the roadside trees. A black kite, with a split and damaged tail, moved away. 

 I feel the need to go somewhere. 

 12.30 Returning from a drive around the builder's merchants. I was looking for o-rings. Fortunately I found a hoard at a rural builder's merchants. The only one left. Not stripped down to bubble packs and rows of power tools. An amazing resource. One which I have called on many times over the years. It has rained lightly, on and off, all morning.

 19.00 62F/16.7C. Back from the city. It was warm and sunny in Odense. I found what I was looking for. Raining only in the village. Dry roads when I left. Lots of pretty sports cars in Odense. Hundreds of Teslas too. I was following a Porsche when an Aston Martin went the other way. While a Mercedes SL500 was in the inside lane. 

 A teenager on a fat bike. With a huge Wolt pack on his back. Went through at least four red lights. While I was trickling along between lights in the car. The real cyclists all held back to obey the lights. He either didn't have a clue or didn't care. No hesitation whatsoever.

 As it was so late for dinner I made something easy. Fish fingers and chips. Then forgot to take a picture!
