12.06.2026 Aah!

  Friday 12th 55F/13C [8.00] Overcast and breezy. Brighter start becoming cloudy with rain.

 Up at 7.00 after drifting for hours. I'd glance at the clock and go back to sleep. Several bouts of coughing. The last forced me to get up. 

 A huge, Labrador retriever sleeping in a local shop. It was very affectionate yesterday when it was awake. It loved being petted. Even sitting on my feet so I couldn't escape. I forgot to take a photo. So went back today. To find it guarding the till. 

 I need to go shopping slightly further away. There aren't local outlets for some things. Like coffee. Only one spoonful left! Panic!

 15.00 Going shopping in the Morris. My blood pressure is incredibly low at 97/74 Pulse 79. Measured a quarter of an hour after lunch after ten minutes of rest. Still coughing occasionally. Still causing humming and dizziness, black vision, with sparkling diamonds! 

 16.00 Back from the shops. It rained lightly all the time I was out. I tried not to cough. A gentleman was loading his Tesla Model S in the car park of one supermarket. I have never been sure how to decide which model is which. The "S" looked huge in comparison with the majority of Teslas I see on the roads. There really are a great many Teslas in Denmark. 94% of new car purchases are battery electric.

 I passed the Husqvarna robot mower. Which was busy on the school grounds. These large areas of grass border the main road. They are punctuated with snaking paths, parking spaces, trees, walls, inclines and deep undulations. The sward was absolutely superb! 

 Back when mowing contractors, or council workers [?] used sit-on mowers it was an unsightly mess! I sat and watched one idiot tearing up the grass on every curve and even making unnecessary rotations. Showing off? Who knows? He was leaving masses of untidy cuttings everywhere he went on the grass. 

 Fortunately Husqvarna mowers are more intelligent than immature gardeners. The repetition and light cuts of the robot have absolutely transformed the entire area. Just as does the Husqvarna on the back fields at home. It is busily transforming newly established paddocks into sweeping lawns.  

 I have just taken a bottle of wine around to my kind neighbour. Who rang for the ambulance when I had my fall.
