No, they were those cheap AA batteries which may once have held a charge but no longer have enough to power it up above 30mmHg. Yes, those are the readings with working batteries. I took them out of my old non-validated BP monitor.

Yes, it was beginning to feel autumnal at the very end of August. Though, because of the drought, the trees have been looking autumnal since mid July.

Well I'm trying gin to cope with the COVID booster. Stolen a day from me.
At my age that starts to be a significant percentage of remaining time.

Had a lovely two and a bit hour bimble in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres. The bimble resulted in half a pannier bag full of hazelnuts - more than I thought given how stressed the bushes looked. Hardly any leaves on them. The quality of the filberts is yet to be ascertained, although I'm not terribly confident. A lot of the fallen ones I stepped on were empty.
Having said that, I did a detour on the way home, and one of my hedgerow apple trees has a very promising crop. They're some kind of Russet - quite red, but with the characteristic rough skin. A bite into a tiddly one says they're near enough ready, so I picked a few. Will go back tomorrow and pick some more, but it's a jeans, long sleeves and gloves job as there's a lot of brambles.
And the walnut trees growing at random in the corner of a field have a good crop on them too. The nuts are small, but cracking one open has revealed that the shells are nicely full. I need to get there before the squirrels...
Cats have been fed, a
has been tipped down the hatch and it's time to investigate what I shall have for supper.

Apparently our solar, battery and car charger installation is happening next week. I will be very happy if that is the case.
Forecast is for heavy rain tonight and the wind is picking up. Blue bin and black box out. The back tyre of my Vita has a slow puncture so I cheated and rode my daughter’s bike instead.

Lovely supper of a tomato, basil and mozzarella salad, with bread & butter on the side.
I had half a tomato in my salad. But the tomato in question weighed nearly 16 ounces.
