Up at 6am after a typical night. My back feels slightly improved for the moment.
Happy Birthday to my sister Sue! 🎉🥳
I have been wandering up and down the drive. Taking pictures of the next door's overgrown hedge. The white building in the foreground is a shed. The house is lost behind the hedge.
Then I sent a secure email to the county council asking for advice. With attached images to show the problem. It is a bank holiday today. So it will be a few days before I hear anything.
A walk should be possible this morning. Followed by a ride. It would be a shame to waste such a pleasant day.
8.30 Back from a loop around the neighbours' drives on the back field. Warm sunshine and no wind. I even sprinted down the drive!
9.00 Bike battery still on charge. The hedges are beginning to rock in the wind. It's only supposed to gust to 6m/s. I haven't decided where to go yet. I might ride to Ringe. Along the old railway cycle path. Gorgeous countryside and very unspoilt. About 36km each way. I had better wear my padded bibs! [Cycle shorts with braces] I will take two batteries. It's a shame the best garden center on Fyn has closed.
16.15 72F/22C! Returning from a 95km/60 mile ride to Ringe and back via Korinth. I am hot and knackered. Swapped batteries at 70km. Ate three Corny sub-micro chocolate bars and drank three small boxes of organic apple juice.
17.30 I just had a half hour nap to recover. My neighbour is shredding the branches I cut down last year. He had a lot of material from cutting the face of the hedge which adjoins his field. Which was just left where it dropped until now. Goody! That will save me worrying about disposal of my contribution to deforestation.
Dinner was a salmon pasty and chips. I washed up while it cooked.
I siphoned half of the water out of the indoor aquarium. Hoovering the gravel will have helped. The algae build up suggested too much in the way of nutrients. I also added an internal filter to stir things up and remove the disturbed particulates. I had been running a full under-gravel filter but it obviously wasn't enough.
