Friday 13th 45F/7C [8.30] Overcast and windy with rain on the way. 61F/16C in the room. 51F/10.6C in the greenhouse.
Up at 6.30 after a quiet night.
8.40 On my way to a haircut.
9.30 Back from the hairdressers. A different young lady today. An excellent hairdresser.
What a horrible morning! Gales, cold and rain combined. The latter is supposed to ease up according to the DMI. Peaking a a miserable 6C/43F at lunch time.
10.50 Back from the next village. I had run out of beech kindling. So I fetched a sack full of softwood kindling. Not helped by all the district heating work. Which meant closed roads and finding through routes. Not helped by serial road closures after forced detours.
I ended up carrying the 10kg sack over 50 meters to the car. Which made me very breathless! I would normally buy 3 sacks and load them straight into the car or trailer. Often with the enthusiastic help of the staff or trainees at the sheltered workshop.
18.40 Back from the city. Where I bought a pack of ten magnetic hooks, two digital thermometers, with wireless, outdoor sensors and three Shubunkin fish. A blue, white and red form of goldfish. Sometimes with a long, flowing tail. I wanted them for the tank in the room. So I would have somebody to talk to when I came home. I usually say: "Only me." It usually falls on deaf ears. [Mine] When there is nobody else there.
Dinner was chips, baked beans and two day old sausage rolls.
