[eek]

Nice thread you've got here, shame if anything were to happen to it...

NF has a plan for that - although I'm seriously tempted to set up a discord Test Please delete server.

Morning all

Feeling a bit under the weather today. Very tired and could do with going back to bed.

Talking of the weather, it's bright-ish (for the time of day) and dry. Quite a bit of cloud cover but doesn't look very thick. Currently 4 degrees with a forecast high of 7. Cloud cover will increase with a 50/50 chance of rain this afternoon. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

First coffee awaiting its fate.

Goodnight all

Morning

Chilly out. Lots of traffic. Where are they going?


Today's high is 7 degrees and tonight's low is 3 degrees. It is currently 2 degrees.

it's going cloudy

[WTFH]

Morning all

Nice walk earlier.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Grey/white sky.

Gloomy.

Not currently precipitating as far as I can tell from here.

Cold. 14.7 deg in here.

1019 mBar and 63% RH.

Walk walked.

Nice enough.

Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (crust, very thick), bramble jelly sandwich on Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt bread, yellow corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

<hiatus>

More potching done on the tin shed during which a 3mm HS drill came to grief.

Oh, the expense.

And a can of PU foam got foamed to variously stick stuff together & fill assorted gaps that needed filling.

I think a fillet of concrete duly applied tomorrow should see that bit done & dusted.

<hiatus>

Tea: Liver and bacon with onion gravy, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea, and the last mango (Morrisons, reduced).

Very nice.

<hiatus due to power cut>

Oddly whilst cooking tea I thought to myself how inconvenient a power cut would be.

Just as I was starting to wash the dishes, waiting for the kettle to boil, and typing this tulipe on here, out went the lights.

Entertainment:

Tudur Owen's TV flashback, being a collection of ancient clips from BBC Wales.

Probably followed by another tulipe Man from Uncle "film".

Why ever did I think it was "good".

We must have been starved of good stuff.

<hiatus>

Tudur was amusing enough.

The 2nd power cut, not so much.

"The Helicopter Spies (1968)" was slightly more amusing than yesterday's offering.

Dr Pimplepopper on Really.

Abandoned Engineering on Yesterday.

Reith Lectures started this morning.

When I worked at the BoE, he came around to visit each floor and his opening statement was "Please call me Mark".

Very well presented so far, starting with Economics 101.

BBC Radio 4 - The Reith Lectures, 2020: Mark Carney - How We Get What We Value, From Moral to Market Sentiments

Very well presented so far, starting with Economics 101.

Too many meetings today, will be catching up on BBC Sounds later

Morning denizens

Grey gloomy day out

Only up to 6°C so far. But the rain expected this afternoon has been pushed back to early tomorrow, so there's that I suppose

[NickFitz]

Chilly out. Lots of traffic. Where are they going?

I wonder about that. In the initial lockdown, the road outside was virtually deserted; lately, it's been much as it always was. Whatever people are doing, they don't seem very locked down

[WTFH]

Time to light the fire.
