    Afternoon denizens

    Another grey day, though not rainy, or not at the moment. It’s supposed to be a bit breezy but the minimal motion of the trees suggests that they may be exaggerating when saying the present 7°C, which is the high for the day, “feels like” -2°. The barometers are down a little more at 973/981mB

    Afternoon all

    Dull and damp again. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 9 expected. Sunshine and showers apparently. Barometer down to 985 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:52; Sunset 16:35 GMT

    So much for a quiet day today. I was hoping to clock off about now but, no, more actual work required.

    WTF?

    Morning.

    Friday.

    Wet.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 12.9 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 10.5 in the leanto.

    977 mBar, 28.85 in Hg, 732.8 Torr, 14.17 psi, (down from 981 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

    And now the 13th of March 2020 will remain a mystery.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling about alcohol free wines & beers. Someone else waffling on about trust.

    Book.

    Foyle's War S4 E2 "Bad Blood": the anthrax one.

    Walk (abbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.

    I see we're about to have Yet More ******* Windmills. Obviously someone's crossed someone's palm with silver in the talking shoppe in Cardiff. And there'll be another 32 of the ******* shortly. The Sirius Cybernetics Marketing Executives solution sounds like A Good Idea.

    Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Entertainment: PM etc.

    Vanished Wales: Criggion transmitter site, Powys: back up for Rugby: 1942 to 2003. Guildford Crescent, Cardiff: swimming baths, Thai Restaurant, Gwidhw etc. demolished for redevelopment. Deganwy Bathing Pool (open air, sea water).

    Taggart. S6 E1,2,3 "Evil Eye".

    Morning all

    TFIF, etc
    Full wet weather gear earlier as it was raining and windy. The first 45 mins of the walk were like that, but as we turned for home the rain eased. There are some breaks in the ominous low clouds revealing higher clouds that look a smidgen less ominous.

    Tonight’s major motion picture wasn’t a premiere, but it was Watchmen (2009), and the full three and a half hour version to boot. I first watched this a couple of years ago, but I think I might even buy the book because it’s a very good film but there’s probably bits in the book that they missed out

    And then a couple more episodes of Hijack which is also very good

    Goodnight all

    Nahjongy thing this morning. Really tired earlier after another *** night's sleep but felt much better after a brisk walky.

    Managed to copy that occasional odd CUK thing at top:
