17.06.2026 Black beauty.

  Wednesday 17th 54F/12C [8.20] Overcast. Expected to be cool and cloudy. Then afternoon rain. Peaking around 16C/61F. SW wind going southerly. Gusting to 8m/s.

 Up at 7.40 after a weird night. Woke at midnight with my head spinning. I was going to get up at 6.40. Then it was 7.20 and I was coughing. 

 Sambucus nigra "Black Lace." A dark leaved Elder. It appears much blacker to the naked eye. Planted years ago in the garden. Always invisible behind a huge hedge. Until I removed the hedge. 

 I'd like to go for a short ride but don't feel safe. I started feeling dizzy again. So I went outside to get away from the computer screen. I even walked along the drive and brought back the recycling bin. 

 Still feeling dizzy. Lay down for an hour. 

 16.00 Same after lunch. Went back to bed. I have no idea how I will sleep tonight. 

 It rained during the afternoon and evening. Saving me the effort of watering the outside plants. It became quite breezy.

 Dinner was a lot of mashed potato with fried chicken and mushrooms. The idiot in the kitchen forgot to make gravy. He was too busy washing up a week's worth of neglect.
