9.05.2026 Mountains out of molehills!

 ~?~

  Saturday 9th 50F/10C [8.30] Last fully sunny day for the moment. Peaking at 16C/61F this afternoon. A modest, easterly wind. 63F/17C in the room. With the stair well now fully open again. I took the heavy curtains down. They had made a useful contribution to keeping the downstairs warm when it was colder outside. 50F/10C in the greenhouse. 

 Rain and a northerly wind expected tomorrow. Just as the carpenter is coming to fit the new doors. On the northern facade. Hopefully the roof overhangs will provide some protection.

 Up at 7.40 after an untidy night. I was awake at four and 5am and then it was suddenly much later. My back is still hurting. Though I still plan to have a walk. 

 9-9.30. My usual loop along the drives. Warm sunshine. Very little wind. I almost walked off the back pain. The upper buttock pain was not noticeable today.

 12.10 Back from the next shopping village to the north. Two people admired the car. The petrol price has dropped a little. The rubber seal in the air pump was shot. Impossible to check the tire pressures. I think my back may finally be improving. 

 14.00 62F/17C. Bright sunshine. I have pushed the mower at its highest setting. Over the minefield pretending to be a lawn. It kept being bogged down on the molehills. I need to rake out these hills but I am already knackered and breathless. I need a rest.

 Dinner was fried chicken, mushrooms, baked beans and chips.
