      Morning all

      Overcast and there were some spits of rain as I trundled the bins. Currently a chilly 3 degrees and it'll get up to 4 today. There will be rain pretty much all day, in varying levels of enthusiasm. Barometer up a smidge to 1019 mBar.

      Coffee had, need more.

          Morning denizens

          Had a long but ultimately refreshing sleep

          It's sunny out, though there's still frost on roofs that the sun hasn't reached yet

          Currently 3°C and heading for 4° before falling back; slight chance of a brief snow shower in the early hours of tomorrow too. Barometer is 1013/1021mB, which I think is about the same as yesterday.

          The barometer app requires me to go into its settings screen to change between actual and adjusted-for-height-above-sea-level readings. And when you interact with the settings, it takes the opportunity to pop up an ad; easy enough to dismiss, but still mildly annoying. So I can either keep putting up with that, pay whatever it is to get the ad-free version, or write my own to show both figures on one screen

          Or just stick to the adjusted one, as I gather that's the "official" version.

            My barometer is the one I got from my Nan's things after she passed away. It seems to roughly match my weather app but that doesn't tell me if it's sea-level adjusted or not.

            I like that it has a little marker on it so you can see how the pressure has moved. I set that at the time I take my readings each day so I can tell you all the next day whether it's up or down

              Temperature and humidity are useful in the house but what is the point of checking a barometer?

                Fish finger bap (wholemeal, red sauce) for lunch. Lovely stuff

                    Some left overs have been foraged from the fridge for lunch. Some bits of chicken, pork belly and rice with veg by the looks of it.

                      my landlord is insisting i let an engineer into my house for a gas safety certificate.
                      I've told her i'm not letting anyone in at present, due to the high infection rates.
                      she'll get a surprise if she turns up expecting to get in.
