Tuesday 10th 36F/2C [8.50] Overcast and very misty. I can't see my neighbours houses. The mist is expected to last all day. It has already caused accidents amongst the unwary or the uncaring. How many were/are showing rear fog lights? Many modern cars do not show rear lights automatically. Engaging one's brain and switching them on manually is far too much trouble for many. That would involve mental exercise. Rain tonight and tomorrow. 61F/16C in the room. The stove was never lit yesterday. It reached 70F/21C in the afternoon thanks entirely to sunshine.
Up at 7.20 after a difficult night. Was I awake for several hours from 1-4am? Or was only I dreaming I was awake?
The room needs spring cleaning after yesterday's major parcel packing event. Polystyrene beads will need a vacuum. I shan't be visiting my English friend until tomorrow. He is helping a neighbour today.
9.00 I'll go for a walk in a little while. Hi-viz jacket I think.
10.00 38F/3C. Mist thinning slightly. Back from my walk. 3035 steps so far. My hands were cold in the GripGrab gloves. Precisely as predicted: Not one tradesman's van, of half a dozen, had any rear lights showing. Let alone rear fog lights. Half the passing cars had no rear lights lit and only sidelights at the front. The solitary bus showed no rear fog lights. A vast lorry had only small, rear lights. Your road safety is in these safe hands? Dugh!
