Morning.
Dry.
Sky blue in parts with pink white clouds.
Sunny.
Cold at 14.3 deg in here.
1003 mBar and 62% RH.
Tuesday.
<hiatus>
Garden path unexpectedly icy.
TV Times & the Xmas Radio Times purchased from the post office.
Walk walked.
It's chilly out there today in the glorious sunshine.
Chem trails evident.
<hiatus>
Lunch: Heinz lentil soup with Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed bread, bramble jelly on Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt crust, red pippy corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Oh, and the Ginsters vegan Moroccan pasty that was lurking unregarded in the fridge.
In other news I had a zombie apocalypse dream last night.
I hope it's not one of those prescient dreams I have from time to time.
In other news, the sun's really out now.
<hiatus>
Some mild potching about done to secure the tin shed wall a bit before I pack some concrete down the slot.
Afternoon Entertainment: "Ride Lonesome (1959)" with Old Stoneface (rather more stonefaced than in yesterday's epic wherein he smiled a lot, most disturbing) Randolph Scott, Pernell Roberts, Lee Van Cleef, and James Coburn.
It was rather good.
Directed by Budd Boetticher again.
<hiatus>
Tea: Tesco chunky breaded haddock, stewed Granny Smith's apples with custard, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Evening Entertainment: Abandoned Engineering on Yesterday at 20:00.
Engineering Mistakes on Quest at 22:00.
Something else TBD: in the event a thing about Robin Hood on Sky Arts at 19:00.
Oh, and while I remember, it's rained a little.
Engineering mistakes:
Oooer, nasty:
Cheesegrater bolts and ‘hydrogen embrittlement’ – what you need to know – Construction Manager
Cheesegrater bolt saga finally comes to an end
Only cost £6M to fix.
Next: what happens if you build an autobahn on a peat bog.
i.e. nothing good.
Ah. A new untried technique: mini friction piles.
Next up: the roads in Portland Oregon.
Caused by the way they cover existing asphalt with new asphalt, which then cracks up.
Change the asphalt by adding fibre from bulletproof vests.
Apparently.
Landslide entire Greek village Ropoto.
Ah. EU funded development.
And water diversion was stopped.
