23.06.2026 Robot Wars!

  Tuesday 23rd 58F/14C. Bright overcast. We are promised wall to wall sunshine and 24C/75F in the late afternoon. 70F/21C in the room. 61F/16C in the fully open greenhouse.

 Up at 7.45 after a 6am attempt failed dismally to lift off. A quiet night punctuated by strange dreams. The last one I remember was about a desert filled with giant loudspeakers. It sounds about right.

  9.00 62F/16C. Full sunshine. From a milky sky. I have just been out to water the outside plants. Using a large, green, plastic watering can. It has lasted for years out of doors. The garden is full of birdsong. The overgrown grass is damp with dew. I shall be visiting my English friend. However tempting, I shall not be riding there on my e-bike. 

 13.20 Back from visiting my friend. We had a pleasant chat, with coffee and Danish pastries. Under a huge umbrella at his outdoor table. Before wandering around his extensive garden. 

 I passed several heavily laden touring cyclists. Including one on a mid wheel sized bike. About 20" wheels at a guess. I was going  to stop and watch him pass but there was nowhere handy to park. 

 17.15 75F/24C. I have spent hours this afternoon. Trying to get the robot mower to work. It would not connect to the Wi-Fi. Despite having done so straight out of the box last time I tried. 

 Dinner was an excess of chips, a short serving of chicken and peas. It was the last of the chips so I used them up. Probably a mistake.
