Morning all

Sunny and dry with wispy cloud. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Barometer up to 1030 mBar.

Yesterday HWMBO and I went out for cocktails and dinner. A lovely time was had.

Today I am mostly job hunting while looking busy.

Cottons in the WM.

Meanwhile on the 16th of September 2019 NF had pork & apple sauce in a bap, most unusual, while there was discussion of Alzheimer's disease sufferers (other dementias are available including the vascular kind that offed my mother (and probably my grandfather too)), with a side serving of "A Bright Shining Lie", 800 pages long, which led thusly to something lighter: "The Mighty Micro" of immortal memory from the dear dead days beyond recall when the 8086 was A New(ish) Thing, the book having been purchased from the library at Ye Olde Sloughe of Desponde on Ye Hill for 20p, while the TV series is on youtube in all its glory, with the presenter gradually moving from his natural hair to a wig as his chemo progressed. He popped his clogs before the book came out.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine. Saw my shadow a couple of times.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: whatever it was that replaces Y&Y on a Friday, warbling on about something or other.

TWATO.

Shirts in off the line, roughly iRoned & duly airing upstairs.

Entertainment during this was The Infinite Monkey Cage S18 "Invaders" which went on about ebola, lassa, and SARS, this last in a prescient sort of way considering, buddleia was in there some where too, along with himalayan balsam.

Veronica Mars S1 E9 "Drinking the Kool-aid". The cult one.

Tea: breaded haddock (or maybe it was cod). Not so overcooked this time. etc.

The Mentalist S2 E12 "Bleeding Heart". The one where Jane gets kidnapped by ecoterrorists.

Curse of the Ancients on Blaze with that Alice Roberts. I wonder which colour her hair will be this week. Sort of pinky blonde. All about the Romans. I fell asleep towards the end.

Ancient Murders Unearthed: the Idaho torso found in a cave. Turned out to be some Mormon chap murdered sometime around 1916, as was his wife. Identified by DNA which matched shedloads when compared with modern DNA samples. Good ep, more inneresting than last week's.

Cursed Treasures. Feck nose. Staffordshire hoard of gold. More total bollox from blaze making mountains out of molehills. It's always A Bad Sign when one of the s from the Ancient Aliens bollox turns up. <click>

Morning denizens

Thin cloud out, so thin that it might as well stop shilly-shallying and just be sunny. Mild too, being 10°C now and soaring to 18° by mid-afternoon; the barometers are up a touch more at 1015/1023mB

Friday!

[WTFH]

Morning all
Blue skies and sunshine! What's going on?
9.24km walked earlier.

TFIF, etc.

[NickFitz]

Tonight's only telly was an episode of that odd thing that's supposed to be about motorway policing but is often not on the motorway, mixed with dashcam clips that have no relation to whatever's going on

Friday tomorrow! Though next Friday will be even better because I start my holiday then, this one will do for now

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: roast chicken thighs with chips and ketchup

Mainly due to poor planning on my part. I took them out of the freezer yesterday to thaw in the fridge overnight, mainly to make room for some more stuff from the ailing freezer. I had been thinking of making a casserole but of course shopping left neither time nor energy for that, so I did the easiest thing I could think of with them instead

My copy of Private Eye arrived on time.

I'm sure mine would've if I'd still been a subscriber

I assume you got yer Viz. All that matters.

Just been to Sainsbury's and both of them were first things in the trolley, the new Viz having just come out today!

The main reason they were first is that when they got rid of the kiosk in the face of falling fag sales, they moved magazines right to the furthest corner of the store, past homeware and even beyond Argos. So it's a major detour to get to them, but slightly nearer the front door than the checkouts. So I trek up there with my empty trolley, then make my way back through Tu clothing until I reach the meat

I went past the old flat both there and back, due to there being emergency roadworks on the other and theoretically shorter route. The chestnut tree is in the throes of unfurling its foliage now, and the Polish café still seems to be doing a thriving trade in unpronounceable meals

The latest Private Eye didn't arrive in yesterday's post

Lunch was gammon in a wholemeal bap with a bag of wholemeal crisps. It was supposed to eb roast pork, but I got the wrong bag out of the freezer to thaw this morning. Nice enough, anyway

The latest Private Eye didn't arrive in yesterday's post, which was mildly annoying but not unusual. Then it didn't arrive in today's, which was more annoying. But then I realised my subscription had run out

It was paid for by my parents, them having gifted me the subscription probably over ten years ago now. But the Direct Debit will have been cancelled when their accounts were closed. So I had to go on the web site and renew it myself

I assume subscriptions start with the next issue, which means I'll have to buy the current issue in a shop like an animal
