14.09.2025 Capturing the sun.

 ~o~

  Sunday 14th 52F/11C [7.00] A mixed day of sunshine and showers. It may reach 19C/66F.

 Still here. Up at 5.50 after a bit of clock watching and a fairly quiet night. The chest pains stopped before bedtime. The nitroglycerine spray is almost instant in its beneficial effects. My heart was beating wildly and completely erratically. No recognizable pattern to the rhythm. Even a sense of a repeated mechanical clap. 

 The advice was to call an ambulance if I ever had chest pains. I don't want to bother anybody with a false alarm. Particularly during the night. I carry the spray full time. Even though it says not to carry it in your pocket. How else am I supposed to have it handy on a walk, ride or drive? I feel oddly free of fear about dying. Almost relaxed. It has to happen some time. I just don't want it to hurt! 

 9.15. Back from a half hour walk. Occasionally dark and rather damp. Threatening rain. I disturbed three deer out on the fields. They dashed for cover.

 11.00 Going shopping in the car. 

 The afternoon was sunny. So I spent some time outside setting up my solar telescope. Then capturing some videos. Not processed yet. 

 Sunday dinner was chicken, mushrooms, peas, boiled potatoes and Bisto gravy. It was perfect. I washed up while I was cooking.
