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.Comment

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.
<hiatus>
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.

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.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment
