A reasonable 5°C but a chilly wind greets the day. Although there are at times threatening clouds it remains dry and by the afternoon the clouds are gone.

Nice cool weather for running :) against the wind most of the time :(

I start a few jobs in the garden but the morning weather isn't favourable so I stop and retreat to the couch for some reading.

More potatoes (100 pcs) must be planted in the afternoon but by then it turned sunny so that was not at all a chore. There remains some space, currently occupied by scorzonera, that should be free by next week for a last batch of 50 or 60 potatoes.

My brother is off with the Fujitsu notebook (and I forgot to take a picture) but he left me the old Toshiba. I took it totally apart for cleaning. Well I think I got all the screws out, I didn't loosen the cables because these notebook connectors are rather delicate. There was surprisingly little dust inside, Only in the keyboard (I pried off all the keys) was some dust and hair. I vacuumed the lot with a small special 'keyboard vacuum cleaner' (I got almost a matchbox filled). And I got everything reassembled and working again. Cleaning didn't however cure the keyboard problem so either dust got into the key-switches or the switches are just worn out.
