  Thursday 25th 47F/8.3C [6.45] Another sunny day is promised.With several more to go.  Not nearly as cold last night. Quite breezy from the north east. The long term forecast is no rain for three weeks.

 Finally got up at 6.00 after waking much earlier. Feeling a bit dizzy. 

 Cooking class today. I'll go in the Morris.

 8.00 Back from my walk. It was cold on my hands as the blinding sun rose over the hill. The ponies came to see me. The traffic roared. I took to the grass verges now they have been shorn. Drivers approaching would have the sun in their eyes. I wore the recycled, pile lined, fleece jacket again. It is proving a good purchase at about £8 equivalent.

 13.30 Back from cooking class. I had  dizzy spell while I was there. I went for a walk in the fresh air and it went away. I made potatoes. Boiled and fried with bacon pieces and finely chopped onions. Then into the oven. I suppose they were a form of roast potatoes. 

 I felt very tired when I got home. So I have just had a short nap. 

 8.30 It was too cloudy this afternoon to get any heat from the greenhouse. It was hovering at 64F/17.8C indoors and has remained so into the evening. The thin fleece jacket wasn't warm enough. So it's back to the pile lined one. I should light the stove of course. And now have. Using flakes and scrap of firewood. Of which I have loads. No kindling required. Just a firelighter.
