Sunday 28th 67F/19C [6..45] Heavy overcast with the threat of thunderstorms and cloudbursts. Peaking at just over 27C/81F later this afternoon when the sunshine returns. Light, southwesterly winds. 75F/24C in the room. My ears are running. So I have switched on the heat pump to slightly cool at 22C/72F.
Up at 6am after a quiet night with weird, often repetitive, meaningless dreams.
I checked the car. The Noco Genius 5 charger has yet again resurrected a completely flat battery. It has been worth every single penny. I leave it to do its thing overnight and it has always succeeded. So far.
Car headlights have to be on by law while underway in Denmark. All the lights in my Morris Minor are controlled by a single toggle switch. Well over to the right of the "dashboard."I have added the labels and arrow to the image for clarity. The toggle switch does not easily lend itself to flashy advertising. In the form of a light or brightly coloured extensions.
You'd think it would be automatic to remember to turn the lights off when I park, but no. Most modern IC cars in Denmark are fitted with lights which come on with the ignition. Morris missed this trick at the close of the 1960s. No foresight for the future Danish market and changes in Danish law in 1990.
At least they put the steering wheel on the correct side. And the pedals. The headlight dip switch is a press button on the floor. The bonnet is released with a stiff puller under the passenger side glove compartment. Impossible to reach and requiring considerable strength. This might improve with lubrication of the cable but I have not explored this option to date.
