25.08.2025 Fish salad.

 ~o~

  Monday 25th 55F/12.8C [8.15] Uniform, grey overcast. A cloudy start and windy. With sunshine this afternoon. With even more wind.

 Up at 6am after a "busy" night.

 8.15 Overdue time for a walk.  

 8.25-9.00 Returned from my walk. The fields are not yet tilled after the harvest. So I have enjoyed walking the spray tracks. It is still overcast and windy. It was roaring in my Oticon hearing aids. Not an ideal day for a ride. I took more pictures to remind myself of the gap in the trees. It is surprisingly wide from some angles. Though not from the living room window.  

 I ran a hose to the greenhouse pond and topped up the 4"[10cm] lost to evaporation over the last four months. I checked: The temperature of the cold tapwater was within 0.5F of the pond water. 60F:60.5F. [~15.6C]

 5.25 Back from Odense [city] in the Morris. I needed several things not available elsewhere. Including a nice selection of water plants. Two of which pretended to be hot air balloons. The goldfish had eaten all the previous plants. Which I gave them for decoration and cleaning the tank. Which, being goldfish, mistook them for salad.  Hopefully their absence will allow the plants to thrive. Though I am tempted to net and bring the two tiniest goldfish in for the winter. They will keep me company. Who else I am I going to talk to?

 I also bought two new, modestly sized, Tefal frying pans. To replace those which were no longer non-stick. Inexpensive, in a large shed. Still pretending to be a department store.

 If we live in woke times.. why isn't ageism as bad as racism? Globally available products all have sub-microscopic, printed text in their instruction manuals. Are they trying to kill us?  Why do huge sheds, pretending to be department stores, not provide tricycles, scooters or Segways to get about? It takes ages to walk their length! Then twice as long to walk back to the checkouts where you came in!

 Dinner was sardines on toast with halved tomatoes. I forgot to take a picture.
