8.07.2026 Where their paths cross.

 ~?~

   Wednesday 8th 58F/14C [8.30] Still overcast. We were promised wall to wall sunshine. Where do I queue for a refund?

  Up at 6am after a very quiet night. Though with weird dreams.

 A pretty tabby cat just walked past the window. I tapped on the glass and it froze. The black and white cat is coming along now. I wonder if their paths will cross? It's fun to watch them in the cameras. It's safe to say that not much else happens around here. 🙄  

  I shall be visiting my English friend. Better a day late than never. I hope the village bakery still has cakes. This is important information. 

 I have discovered that top soil is readily available from numerous "Big Bag" suppliers. All of whom claim miraculous quality control. Though with stones of up to 10 or even 20mm remaining. Ideal, one might think, for leveling a lawn! Or not. 

 The greenhouse shade net has been rearranged. The wind had lifted it over half its considerable length of 22' or 7m. It hangs from a cord threaded through the top edge. By my own fair hand. Tensioned between a fixing at each end of the house. So relies entirely on gravity to hang nicely draped on the gently sloping, glass roof.

 The black and white cat was vocal this morning. It even approached me to be stroked. Which is very unusual indeed. The new tabby must have upset its plans. It wasn't the usual tabby. So the local pecking order may be due for some adjustment. 

 16.00 I went to town to collect my new computer screen glasses. The progressive lenses will take some getting used to. They are not designed for driving. Though I wore them anyway. Perched on the end of my nose as usual. Clear vision of the road over the top. Sharp focus on the dashboard. 

 After that I searched for more cycle path crossings. There were several more I hadn't photographed yet. Even one on a main road. Where I saw the same fine, compacted, grey sand. More typical of UK cycle paths.

 The moment I arrived home I blocked the drive with the bins and sent the robot out to mow.  Unexpectedly it immediately set off across the parking space to attack The West Lawn. I was expecting it to mow the drive first. Later it started on the drive and only then did it return to The West lawn.

 Dinner was a goodly wodge of salad.  I don't anything was missing.
