    It definitely seems to wait for me to emerge before prostrating itself before me

      Tea has been M&S non-chunky breaded haddock, with chips and beans. I tried the thing of snapping one of the fillets in half to make a bigger portion, and it worked out just right

        Entertainment (continued): HSB S3 E20 "Spotlight on Rico".

        HSB S3 E21 "Buddy, Can You Spare a Heart? " wherein LaRue buys a calf's heart for nefarious reasons.

        HSB S3 E22 "A Hill of Beans " being the end of S3 wherein the precinct payroll gets stolen. And recovered. And a naughty policeman meets his end.

          Another TV-free night (apart from Ambulance during dinner), as I continued reading They Thought They Were Free. It's an interesting exploration of the attitudes, beliefs, motivations and so on of ordinary Germans under Nazism, based on spending a year or so in the early 1950s getting to know a number of them from a small town well enough that they would speak freely, or fairly freely, about their lives between 1933 and 1945.

          The rain continued here for a while, but seems to have moved on now

          Goodnight all

            Morning all

            Overcast here but fairly bright. There is a slight dampness from the overnight rain. Current temperature is 17 degrees with a forecast high of 21 later. The sun isn't expected to make much of an appearance. Low chance of further rain fall. Barometer has fallen to 1015 mBar. Light northerly breeze.

            First coffee being drunk. Very tired after a second night of poor sleep interrupted by not nice dreams.

            Bins (normal and recycling) have been taken out and placed in the communal bin store.

            Discovered evidence on the kitchen door mat of a slug creeping in under the kitchen door so measures will have to be taken to deal with that.

              Just came across this YouTube channel (courtesy of the comments on an El Reg article) that I think will be of interest to some of our longer serving IT brethren:

                Light rain overnight has given way to a pleasant morning

                  Thin high cloud, of the kind that lets direct sunlight through but in a diluted form; I think it's expected to thicken later, and the current 16°C is unlikely to be improved upon much, if at all

                      Morning all

                      White sky.

                      Sunless.

                      No current precipitation.

                      Damp.

                      Dreary.

                      1017 mBar.

                      Tuesday.

                      There's a couple of songs about Tuesday.

                      I wonder why.

                      And a film:
