Woke around 7.30 with a headache. At around 8.30 I took some tablets which made no difference at all. It's since eased up enough that I can see without squinting.

Today I have my Driver Awareness Course, as is my right as a common criminal.

This evening HWMBO arrives.

Lunch was a few cold cocktail sausages, originally intended for lunch yesterday

It’s turned overcast and gloomy out there now

I’m concerned about our blackbirds. I don’t recall seeing them for several weeks, and they’re usually in and out of the hedge quite frequently. It’s possible the hot weather was too much for them. Or maybe they’ve moved, either going in search of water during the hot spell, or finding somewhere with autumnal food. And, at least in theory, they could have migrated - apparently Scottish ones are known to spend the winter in Ireland, where it’s less chilly. But that’s not as likely, and I don’t recall them vanishing for long spells like this in previous years, though it’s possible I just didn’t notice

Tea has been a Wagyu ribeye steak served in the traditional Japanese manner: with fried onions, chips, and beans

To go with this, a bit of new Police Interceptors
