1st March 2026 Psychopathic driver loose.

 ~?~

  Sunday 1st 36F/2.2C. The DMI website is down. I think it is supposed to be cloudy and windy today, However the eastern sky looks quite promising. A hint of a tobacco filter laid over soft edged clouds. 64F/18C in the room. 44F/7C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 6.50 after a quiet night. I woke at five but remained in bed.

 I need to shop if I am to make a proper Sunday dinner. I have barely enough Bisto powder for one more meal. The Danish-British food shop I usually use has no stock. Nobody else is remotely economical. All others are based on a huge minimum order. Delivery from the UK would push it into a standard £20 charge for customs clearance plus postage. I have ordered two packs from Amazon.de. Hideously expensive but it will hopefully last for ages! Delivery promised in two days. 

 9.50 My walk this morning was longer than usual. I was determined to make the most of a dry day. Though it wasn't really very warm. Not even when the sun peeked out. I walked fairly briskly to the lanes. Kicking many of the countless twigs from the asphalt onto the verge. Then onto the top of the hill on a smaller branch.

 Earlier breathlessness passed as I persisted at the same pace up the incline. I had a look around, took a couple of snaps of the landscape and then headed home. Now feeling quite warm and without my hat and gloves.

 14.40 46F/7.8C. Returning from a 20km ride to another village. In full sunshine with a cold wind. I bought three carrier bags full and then had to find room for it all in the Ortlieb pannier bags. My bum hurts from riding without padded shorts today. I was pushing my luck.

 A psychopath in a small silver car tried to run me off the road. They failed but it was too close to be remotely an accident. They brushed just past my handlebars. While cutting sharply across my path at an angle. I was keeping tight to the kerb as always. 

 Let's be generous and assume they were high on a combination of drugs, laughing gas and alcohol. I hear these are all the rage with the inbred, retarded losers these days. They are mentioned in most police reports. Every time they confiscate a car from a raving lunatic driver. 

 Dinner was chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, peas and Bisto gravy. I gave it 40 minutes in the oven in the new baking tin. 180C, warm air and it was perfect. The solid chicken breast was beautifully tender. A little more gravy would have been beneficial.
