27.01.2026 Not our cameras?

 ~?~

  Tuesday 27th 30F/-1C. Overcast with light snow showers possible. 58F/14C in the room.  41F/5C  in the greenhouse.

 7.45 I have been tidying and cleaning around the stove before the sweep arrives. Who is here on time. Presently standing on the roof and brushing the chimney. It was interesting how the magnetic door closure. Slowly moves the stove backwards. Each cushioned closure of the heavy door adds its own impact. Perhaps I should place something non flammable behind the stove. To stop it's slow crawl.

 8.10 The sweep has just left. No problems and very little soot or ash. All thanks to the modern stove and clean fuel. I have now lit the stove. To warm the place up before leaving to visit my friend. I now have a new reserve of wood flakes to use as kindling. Which saves buying sacks of the stuff at the sheltered workshop.

 I was going to check the traffic cameras for road conditions. It seems the cameras are still working but public access to their website and the cameras has been blocked! These were presumably installed at taxpayer expense. As is the government controlled website. 

 Do we still fund the cameras and their maintenance from our taxpayers' contributions? Their excuse? They can sell the camera video to private businesses? But deny the Danish taxpayer all of the benefits of actually seeing real road conditions at a glance? Does not compute!  

 I drove over to see my friend. Had a pleasant chat over Danish pastries and coffee by his wood stove. Drove home via another charity shop. Looking for thicker curtains but without luck.

 Dinner was a salmon pasty, chips and peas.
