Been a strange day. Up in the hills a few miles away, there was a huge tornado. Then massive storm. Huge sleet/hail storm a few miles away. Seen vids of the camels walking on white ground.

We eventually got the storm. Temp dropped to 15c so a few pals popped round and threw a load of wood on the covered bbq and kept warm for a few hours.

Bit warmer now.

Came home form taping and filling to find four dead rabbits in the futility room sink. A more pleasant surprise than the bin bag full of sheep offal about a month ago.

Walked dog early morning and early afternoon. About 3 hours altogether. A bit tired now. Also walked to local shop to buy some stuff as I could not be bothered with taking the car for a few bits. Took daughter to hospital so she could visit a friend who is very ill. Collected her later on in the day.

Finished my assignment and submitted it! Now to start reading for the next one! Cooked dinner for the wife and myself, tuna steaks with rice and peas. Will have a single malt a bit later and then bed. Not much else needs doing tonight, so now I can relax.

Had to go and check on my Dad in the morning then went out for a late breakfast with my daughter. Mooched around after so she could get a birthday present for one of her friends. Best day of the year so far.

Laundry...

& delighted that the neighbors work crews don't work weekends. One side is having a new roof & the other is moving their swimming pool a few feet to the East for some reason. Fuck knows what that exercise is costing.

Could be as simple as low blood sugar after exercise but get it checked out.

Or eye migraine

Exercise can bring it on as well as low blood sugar

Yesterday, but… helped my pal move 8 tons of concrete, then at home mixed up my own cement to put a new brick path edging in. Then moved a huge rose to a huge new wooden planter, painted the trellis for it, and put a new shoe storage thing in the mud room.

Now I’m knackered.

What is it? I nearly bought a V70 T5 but had an attack of common sense and got a 2.5T. (The immediately available T5 was in an alarming colour called 'Saffron' or something like that. Wife liked the colour...I bought dark grey :D ).
