Yesterday started with our electrician coming to fix the problem that has afflicted the pump and fountain in the small fishpond and our biodisc. All sorted now - it was down to a perished seal on a "waterproof" connector letting enough water in to trip the circuit breaker in the workshop and then blow a fuse in the outside switch box. We also had a heron attack, which raises the probability that the several fish we have lost recently were heron victims, even though none of them showed the marks that I've seen many times in my fishing days. Anyway, our heron has been sighted several times over the last few days, he's clearly identified us as part of his feeding territory, so new anti-heron defences have been ordered.
After that we left later than intended for Promenade Park in Maldon, with excellent sausage rolls for lunch in the usual Cafe. The walk wasn't all that long (strong wind threatening to blow my hat off, and the tide well up for once) but much better than nothing. I didn't have the usual post-exercise collapse & snooze, maybe because of the 10mg of dex I took in the morning.
While in Maldon I had a call from The European Scanning Centre - appointment on Thursday Oct.15th at 2:30. to drive to our usual Just Park spot in Redbridge(booked) and then take an Uber to the Centre. That will involve minimal exposure to the plague-ridden atmosphere in Redbridge, currently at or very near the top of the country's COVID incidence list. And the same on the return - Uber followed by driving back home.
