Saturday 4th 41F/5C [7.15] Heavily overcast but expected to clear to sunshine. A windy day. Slowly reducing from 15m/s gusts. Only to climb to 19m/s gusts tomorrow. As storm "Dave" crosses north of Denmark. Peaking at 8C/46F by late afternoon. I had better stay off the e-bike. 64F/18C in the room. 48F/9C in the greenhouse
Up at 6.30 after a very sleepless night. My wife died at home four years ago yesterday.
I should stock up on groceries today for Easter Monday holiday. Which will also save me going out in the wind and rain tomorrow.
8.40 Some brightness in the east. Blue holes appearing. Time for a walk.
9.15. Back again. Fleeting glimpses of sunshine as the sky raced overhead. A strong, eye watering wind. Roaring in my hearing aids. Pushing twigs out of the hedges and onto the asphalt. A large, solitary deer ran away uphill. Across the prairie towards the forest on the summit. I saw only two coal tits foraging in the hedgerow today. A male pheasant hung about near the chicken run. Quite a lot of traffic on the road.
10.40 Just recharging my phone before I go shopping in the Morris.
12.00 Back from the shops. Three carrier bags full. There was one shower. Queues the length of the supermarkets with only two tills open. Every other customer buying lottery tickets. Which mens the checkout operator leaving the till. To mess about with another machine. Then come back with assorted cards and bits of paper to ring it up on the till. Then hand it all over. Minutes wasted every time.
