9.07.2025 Slimming down.

 ~o~

 Wednesday 9th 56F/13.3C [7.00] Overcast. The forecast was mostly sunshine. Though with the risk of thundery showers from the north.

 Up at 6am after a fairly quiet night.

 I have plans to ride back to a builder's merchant some ten miles [16km] away. I drove there yesterday but  must return to buy more O-rings in a smaller size. 

 9.40 I returned from my 31km ride empty handed. They had no O-rings in the size I needed. The ride there was cold and into the headwind. I came back by another way. Mostly a crosswind and then a tailwind at the end. I left at 8.05 and it only became sunny at 8.15. I was pushing myself on the way there. More of a dawdle on the way back. It was hilly going both ways. Though not a problem on the e-bike. I rarely bother with lower gears thanks to the motor assistance available.

 My search for a lost tool in the shed quickly became a marathon tidying effort. A dozen electric clock dials can go to the local flea market. The heap of cardboard boxes and junk will go to the recycling yard. 

 14.50 69F/21C. Hot and humid. Clocks delivered. Off to the recycling yard. I had to clear the trailer of fine gravel first. Now piled beside the pond in the greenhouse. To close off all the toothy gaps around the edges. I am hoping the effect will be decorative. 

 15.40 Back from the recycling yard. A whole trailer full. Just from the shed.

 My other nice neighbours sent their lad over with a pack of eggs. So dinner was chosen for me. Three poached eggs on toast. Well, the rounds of bread are tiny.
