16.05.2026 More downsizing.

 ~?~

  Saturday 16th 45F/7.2C [7.35] Overcast and windy. With rain until midnight. The trees and hedges are moving. The heat pump is maintaining 68-69F/20-21C. 51F/11C in the greenhouse.

 Up at 7.00. The usual aches. I must make an effort to do some more tidying. 

 9.20 Back from my brisk walk. Grey and breezy but dry. The neighbour's dog was outside. So I turned back without loss of distance. Just to avoid a commotion.

 The image is of an obscuring bank or berm. Raised between a riding stables and scrap man's hoard. The bank has been planted with conifers and some kind of shrub. Which should eventually provide a visual shield again the chaos beyond. Isn't it amazing how one person can ruin so many people's lives? The sky clearly shows today's weather conditions.

 11.00 I had just cleared the trailer of wood chips. Debris from the last load of logs. Then I started to collect the packaging from the new doors. Prior to placing the old door and window in the trailer. Right on cue it started tipping down. A handy pause to catch my breath. 

 12.15 Back from the recycling yard. I got rid of the old door and window. The pallet and packaging for the new. Plus some old, scrap door frames, etc. The rain held off. Mostly just spitting. The parking area looks a lot tidier now. More to be done. After lunch.

 Dinner was a chicken and mushroom fry-up.
