Ground is damp. Feels colder than it did this morning. Clear sky with fluffy clouds. Nice looking sunset but my photo of the airfield was crap so not sharing it

Not sunny any more.

Grey.

Lunch: baked beans on Morrisons multiseed toast (crust), 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Tea: M&S breaded haddock (not cooked to death version), orange segments & custard (because I felt like it), 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

I think the evening's entertainment is to be "A Perfect World" with that Keven Costner chap.

I downloaded it from BBC iPlayer

BBC Four - Timeshift, Series 16, Bridging the Gap: How the Severn Bridge Was Built

First aired in 2016 but has 25 days left to view it so must have been recently repeated somewhere

Just saw it - many thanks.

The picture of Bob Dylan was awesome....

I met you and thought you were nubile. But then I am easily pleased....

My grandfather was Irish.

Liverpool Irish. Which means he got pretty upset with the Irish during WW2.....

My grandfather joined the British army in WW2 so I suspect he wasn't particularly popular back home

My grandmother married into Liverpool Irish. I think she mainly got upset with the Germans during the war, as they kept bombing the docks while my grandfather was working on them (not to mention having left some of their shrapnel in him during the previous war)
