7.09.2025 Catching some sun.

 ~o~


  Sunday 7th 52F/11C [7.00] Another sunny, late summer day. Peaking around 21C/70F. Breezy from the east/SE. Some child has been doodling on the sky with a soft pink brush.

 Up at 6.25 after a very quiet night. Weird dreams and some dozing were involved.  

 A walk first to ease my lower back pain. My right hand and wrist hurt. Probably the result of having to tighten levers and knobs on the bike carrier. I may also have been overdoing it on the gardening and tidying. Not to mention having to stir the Danish marmalade. The last several jars have been solid peel on top and watery jelly underneath. No names. No pack drill.

 8.15 Back from a short walk. Sunday traffic was very quiet. There was a lot of thin, high cloud. In streaks and splodges. A few vapour trails hanging about. The hedgerows are full of berries. My aching back was soon cured. 

 The neighbour's cat clearly wanted to talk. Unfortunately I don't speak cat. So it wandered off after letting me stroke it's wet fur. Very unusual. It usually keeps a very wide berth. Perhaps it was complaining about the lack of rodents in my garden. Which it visits constantly. Day and night according to my security cameras.

 I spent the morning trying to take pictures of the sun with my small solar telescope. It was cloudy and the sun kept moving. Modest success was had just before lunch.

 16.20 Returned from shopping in the village by Morris. Lovely weather. Lots of people about.

 I took the recycling bin along to the corner to be emptied. I am not sure how well the lorry driver will cope. With the container/skip parked just there. 

 Sunday Dinner was organic sausage. With mushrooms, peas, mashed potato and Bisto gravy.
