    for Millie!

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Grey.

    Dark.

    Dank.

    Dreary.

    Sunless.

    Gale force windy. The wheelbarrow just blew over.

    Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 10.5 deg in the leanto.

    987 mBar , 29.146 in Hg, 740.3 Torr, 14.315 psi, (down from 992 last night), 73% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 7th of May 2019 I watched National Treasure II, featuring Helen Mirren, and had M&S breaded haddock for tea, whilst NF possessed National Treasure I but hadn't watched it, whereas WTFH was doing some of that work stuff somewhere or other.

    Telex machine glowing particularly brightly today, Roy, glory in your time.

    Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

    The idea of taking a bus out and a bus back failed at the 2nd hurdle when the 34 departed as I arrived at the stand and I couldn't be arsed to wait for the 38 so I walked and arrived at the same time as the 38 did. 204 back over the river, which was nice.

    Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons oat & barley toasted crust, red corner yog, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.53 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about things I had no innerest in so <click>.

    I may venture out to Wilko to buy some birdseed later, if the rain holds off.

    The rain held (and still holds) off so a shopping trip to Morrisons (for stuff I forgot yesterday) and Wilko (5kg of birdseed).

    Walk (abbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine and intermittent howling gale.

    Freecell score: 86%, running average 85%.

    Tea: chicken in white sauce with rice n peas, some pear halves, a yog, 0.91*1.51 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    Entertainment: PM.

    Wheeler Dealers S9 E8 Gardener AC Cobra replica: bought: £17k5, total: £21030, sold: £23k. Passed one MOT listed on the original plate, the 2nd plate returns nothing.

    According to Pistonheads Brewer smoked the engine on the initial test drive which had to be replaced. Open loop catalyst which passed the IVA test by the skin of its teeth. There's a reason they fit closed loop fuel injection.

    Who do you think you are? Robert Rinder.

    Oak Island nutjobbery: S9 E24 "Treasure Island". They're back from Portugal. Having a look at "the paved road" in lot 15. Oh the relief: the grab just brought up some wood. Square cut wood. Gary's found some iron "fasteners" in the spoil. Gary reckons it was forged by Ancient Aliens for the Knights Templar to carry the Ark of the Covenant. . And then they hit bedrock at 160 feet.

    Oh good show, they've found another bunch who specialise in "muon tomography".

    The iron spike thing for the ark of the covenant is a rock drill according to Carmen Legg.

    Gary finds Yet another Ox Shoe on lot 15 near the cobblestone pathway.

    Feck me they're talking about the stuff found on Lot 4, Lot 8, and Lot 15. What we need now are finds on Lot 16, Lot 23, and finally Lot 42. Then the island will move again. It's the hatch, man. They'll find the Apple II and some hairy guy typing numbers into it.

    That's it for the year. Thank feck for that.

    NCIS S19 E3 "Road to Nowhere". Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs goes on a road trip.

    Morning denizens

    Very windy day out, with showers too from time to time; big shimmy on the conifers

    It's also very cloudy, but mild at 9°C with 13° expected later. And the barometers are well down at 973/981mB

    still very anemic, abdomen swollen more than yesterday and breathing is fast, but she moved her head and has looked up at me.

    Earlier viewing was the usual New Zealand traffic cop stuff. And later, S1E1 of Saving Lives in Leeds on iPlayer, including a remarkable double hand transplant, among other procedures

    And then a bit of bedtime reading: Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John D. Clark

    Goodnight all

    No TW, but a very sleepy old lady who doesn’t want to move anywhere. At least she seems comfortable right now and her abdomen doesn’t feel as tight.
    Hope she's OK
