Up at 8.00 after earlier clock watching. I have the bike battery charging. In preparation for a ride.
I need AAA batteries for the new, digital, wireless thermometers. The magnet hooks didn't work as hoped. The screw hooks didn't fit the thermometer bodies. I need short, CSK head screws with the same thread as the hooks. My vast screw assortment, built up over decades, does not include anything useful so far.
9.00 Time for a walk. I fixed the thermometer mounting problem by using rawlplugs and screws in the back wall. There were lots of empty holes left from earlier cladding.
9.20 Back again. Cool and grey. Saturday traffic light.
The new fish don't like the bright LED lights. So I have inverted and lit only one strip to provide some more gentle, reflected light. They are now busy grazing on the build up of hair algae. Exactly as I had hoped.
12.00 41F/5C. Back from a ride to the village. Returning via the forest and then via the main forestry track. Where I met a dozen or more young lunatics on racing bikes going the other way. Cycle-cross? Gravel? I have no idea. They were really moving on a rutted, muddy and stony track! 16km. I'd have gone further but it felt horribly cold!
The fish were far more colourful later. Than they appear in the image above. I presume they were stressed by being caught and then their long journey home from the city.
Dinner was a sausage, mushrooms and eggs on toast fry-up.
