24th/25th June 2026

It was very warm today the 24th, reaching 38°C . It is now 00.28 of the 25th and 28°C outside, and some 31°C indoors at chest height. Just beginning to cool down but still wearing those garments I was clothed in at birth, though they have seen their days. @ 02:13 it is 30.5°C indoors. Will wait another hour before I lay myself down to try and sleep.

I noticed the last few days even breathing was a bit stressful and drinking water wasn't easy. So this location isn't idea, where is?

Cold is easier to deal with as it is easy to warm up, but the vegetation that I rely on so much grows in the warmth, so here I am beside the veggies, well not actually lying next to them, just in my wooden box nearby.

25th June 2026

Managed to sleep for 4 to 5 hours. On rising at 8:17 temp. is 28°C . Temp outdoors @ 15:40 is 35°C.

26th June 2026

Managed to sleep for 7 to 8 hours. On rising at 8:37 temp. is 25°C downstairs.

  Area1 59 A surprise to find a patch in the south west corner of the field, must have seeded a year ago at least, so will use the brushcutter to clear the area and thence keep an eye on it for a few years.

  All sorted. Gavin took the two 'medium' and I have a gift of the small from Portwest. Emailed Aiworkwear to say no returns etc. and thanks.

My overalls are a bit ragged and the poppets duff, so they are not protective against bugs, small debris from vegetation and chainsaw dust etc. Being fed up with trying to find Fairtrade organic cotton ones, with zips. I bought these from

Sadly one is two are 65% polyester and I think one has teflon coating. (page 3)
Seebbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-40498292At least they won't get washed much and even then the crap will stay on the land.

Received and after some deliberation have decided to keep one of the polycotton them, would have been better just to order the cotton and wait for the light-weight option. But returning is a journey for me and a bit of extra work for others, all down to me.

Good to have zip to keep out the dust and insects. Mind you the side slots could do with zips?
