Wednesday 6th 41F/5C [7.15] Bright and sunny all day again. Only 13C/55F maximum again. 63F/17C in the room. No heating yesterday. None overnight. I'll give it an early boost with the heat pump. See what happens. Greenhouse at 48F/9C.
8.00 Back again. Bright sunshine but a rather cool NE wind. I walked the parallel drive loop on the back field. The image shows why I like this area so much. There is a large pond just out of view to the left. The flat area, again to the left, is marshy. A stream runs just in front of the background trees.
The entire embankment, along which the new drive runs is only a couple of years old. Yet beautifully landscaped and becoming very natural in appearance. It took hundreds of vast tipper trucks full of soil to lift the embankment over the original marshy field. A huge excavator did all the work in leveling and shaping the banks. With a vibrating roller compacting the surface. The excavator driver did a tremendous job of beautifying what could so easily have been an ugly railway embankment.
The Husqvarna robot mower was still trundling back and forth. As I walked back along the neighbours' drive. It was looking almost lost on the huge area of grass it tends. Each day the sward visibly improves. Yet it is impossible to detect any cutting action while the mower is actually moving. The magic must lie in the endless repetition. No weed gets a chance to raise its head.
8.30 I ought to have a ride today.
10.00 The first bike battery is fully charged. I think I'll take the scenic route to Assens.
