Afternoon all

Sunny, clear sky. Cold. Currently 3 degrees ('feels like' 1) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.

Sunrise 08:06; Sunset 16:06 GMT

Didn't go to visit Mum today. I just really wanted a day on my own before work tomorrow.

The darts final beckons. I skipped the majority of the waffle and preamble by watching something else for the first half hour of the coverage. It should be actually getting underway in the next few minutes.

Morning all
Scrambled maps completed (nothing special happened at the end)
£75 interest in the January draw. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

About to venture out for a walk now, and later will be back up a ladder pruning apple trees. Spent 5 hours yesterday on the biggest cooker, still maybe another 2 hours to finish it, but I’d really like to start on the old cider tree as I didn’t prune it last year.

Morning denizens

It’s a clear blue sky out there again, which means all the heat is getting out: it’s -3°C now, and that’s after warming up a little; the high will be 1° for two or three hours this afternoon. It’ll get down to -5° tonight, and there’s a 25% chance of a short period of precipitation this evening, which will presumably arrive in the form of sleet or snow. The barometers are up a bit at 1001/1009mB

Morning.

Sunday.

White.

Sunless.

Cold in here at 10.8 deg, 8.5 in the kitchen, 6 in the leanto.

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.692 psi, (unchanged), 53% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 9th of March 2020 WTFH was having problems cancelling stuff, it was drizzling on me, it had gone grey with LM, SimonMac was having problems with online banking, and NF posted the Monday links as is only right & proper.

Next door's kid(s) were excited to see the snow & went outside to make snowballs earlier.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus. Still snowy though it's melting a little.

Book. Other book.

Tea: beans on toast. Nice enough. Entertainment: "What happened to progress" on R4. Nothing good from the sounds of it. Cue Skynet etc.

Sergeant Cork. S2 E6 "The case of the silent suffragette". Odd one.

Bollox on Blaze: ship emerging from the sea on Iwo (the landing beaches are now 50 feet higher above sea level than in 1945), some tedious stuff about the Maya, some ancient footprints off the east coast made about a million years ago by Antecessor, stuff found off the Orkneys from the neolithic. Mildly inneresting apart from the Maya thing.

Book.

[NickFitz]

We got a modicum of wildlife stuff today, which I supplemented this evening with E2 of Planet Earth III

And this evening, I got back to reading The Confessions of Samuel Pepys. He isn’t getting any better. Getting worse, though: he’s definitely managing that

Goodnight all
