Tea this evening was a haddock supper from the chippy round the corner. Exactly what I needed.
Twas getting frosty out at 8pm; rivers have probably frozen over by now.
At the Freelance Friday drinks, I tried to get some dour Scots to come on the 13th but to no avail.Comment

Just popped out the back to check the main gate (which some idiot had left open, again) and somebody has been sniffing around Mystery Bike. I’d left it behind the Super Monkey Car where it was originally deposited, with a few inches of the back wheel poking out due to a branch of the buddleia preventing it going in any further. But it had been pulled out, such that all of the back wheel was exposed - which is, of course, just as far as you’d need to extract it before realising it has no chain.
So it was a lazy person, who didn’t want it badly enough to push it home and repair it
Next Tuesday is the 28 day mark, after which it graduates to “my new bike” status. I’ll see about making room for it in here and getting it inside tomorrow as, given the (moderate amount of) trouble I’ve been to over it, I think I deserve it more than some passing miscreantComment

Yeah, right.
Didn't know they recreated the Uranium bomb as a backup when they ran into problems with the Hanford reactors in the late 40s just in case they couldn't make more plutonium.
Just got to the appalling results stage of the programme.
The lucky ones simply left shadows on the ground.
The unlucky ones are indescribable.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Tonight’s movie, following on from Batman Begins last week, wasCarry On BatmanThe Dark Knight (2008) - IMDb. Good stuff
And then back to The Wire S3: E5 "The Wire" Straight and True (TV Episode 2004) - IMDb, E6 "The Wire" Homecoming (TV Episode 2004) - IMDb, and E7 "The Wire" Back Burners (TV Episode 2004) - IMDb
You know how a minor irritation will stop and you don’t notice for ages? There used to a group that wended their way past here any time between three and five in the morning who were really noisy; couldn’t walk down the street without shouting at each other constantly. They weren’t even arguing, they just seemed to shout as their normal mode of conversation. Anyway, I just realised that they don’t come past any more, or if they do, they do it quietly. Probably stopped in early summer and I’ve only just noticed they’ve gone
