  Friday 19th 49F/9.4C. A cloudy morning with light rain. Brighter after lunch. Light winds. Room 64F/18C. Greenhouse 53F/12C.

 Up at 6.45. 

 9.45 Back from a 3/4 of an hour walk to the lanes and beyond. I was slightly breathless throughout. One of the large, brown birds of prey was sitting on a field beside the lane. As usual it retreated. 

 I was tempted to go for a ride but the forecast put me off. I may go this afternoon if it brightens up from the present, miserable grey. 

11.15 I have been clearing the drain under the kitchen sink. It had been slow to empty of late. So I dismantled the trap. Which proved to be perfectly clear. The problem lay with the oversized "plug hole" being blocked. By a slow build up of food waste in the narrow spaces. Presumably from rinsing and washing up dinner plates. Pouring bleach down there had not made any difference. I keep a 6" rubber plunger nearby. That too had found its limits. All is well now. As good as new.
