Watching stuff on Dave.
I keep noticing how close together people are.

Morning denizens
Extended family Zoom call done
Grey day out, and it was -1°C when I got up, though now it's 0°C. It was only 15° in the living room at 8am, but it's up to 18° now. Pressure: 985/993mB. There's a 70% chance of snow for the rest of the morning, then 60% for the afternoon, gradually tailing off through the evening; the weather radar suggests the front is just about to arrive, with the snowiest part getting here around 11am

Feeling quite peckish. I'm not used to being up at this time on a Sunday
Might have a fry-up… after all, weekend calories don't count

Morning.
The forecast snow arrived earlier.
CBS.
Sunny.
Cold in here at 15 deg C.
995 mBar, 29.38 inHg, 54% RH.
Sunday.
<hiatus>
Walk walked wearing the long passed their best walking boots which at least have some grip in the conditions.
About 2 or 3" of snow, which is melting well.
Insufficiently cold to freeze much of the mud.
Lunch: Heinz Lentil soup with Morrisons multiseed bread, blackcurrant jam on crust of same, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Front path cleared, the rest of it can stay.
Was very grey but it's brightening up now.
<hiatus>
Even greyer now and it's raining.
Afternoon entertainment in the overwhelming grey: "84 Charing Cross Road (1987)" with Ann Bancroft and Sir Anthony Hopkins.
I do like that film, the contrast between the bright shiny New York and the bombed to tulipe & gone London is quite moving.
<hiatus>
Tea: roast chicken breast with cumberland sausage and thick cut rashers of bacon, a yog, and 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment:
That weird Welsh prog "Am Dro" which I find reasonably amusing: today: Llyn Peninsula, Carreg Cennen, Penarth, and somewhere in the north east: Loggerheads country park, Mold.
the Oak Island nutjobs at 21:00, with the WWWC's avatar doing his take on Oak Island at 22:00.
Results in for the geotechnical investigation: new location indicated by a "teardrop" on the scan results giving a new location to drill, slightly off the H8 can of last year.
While the treestump they found in the eye of the swamp may be a cork oak, native to Portugal, and different from the other oak trees "canopy oaks" on the island.
The Restalls are back on the island.
They're looking at the recent objects that have been discovered.
And they've brought an oak leaf & some acorns that Restall Pater found in an excavation on the beach.
The shack the two boys lived in back in the 60s still exists though it's been moved.
It's going to be restored as a historical object.
It was also pissing down when they visited.
The botanist is taking a look at the oak leaf & acorns.
The Restalls are having the can named RF1 in their honour.
And they're starting the machine doing the digging.
And guess wot: it's bringing up shedloads of wood.
They metal detect then take it a wash table & look for stuff that stands out.
This week's find: a chunk of pottery.
Followed by Gary finding a pickaxe brought up from 90 feet deep.
Coming up: More wood.
Big Wood. Hand cut wood. Doweled wood.
Hand cut doweled wood with Roman numerals. Spooky.
Next week: they find More Wood. Odd that.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 24 January 2021, 21:58.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Rarely have nightmares but had one last night where I was trapped in a small space. Felt a bit anxious when I woke up so went downstairs to watch TV for a bit. When I turned it on it was showing news about those Chinese miners!bloggoth

Morning all
It's dull out but dry. Overcast. Currently 2 degrees ('feels like' -1) and my weather app says it's snowing (it isn't). Snow due until lunchtime when it will switch to rain and then back to snow around sunset. So, some form of precipitation due all day.
Taking HWMBO to the airport in a couple of hours or so. Freezer nicely stocked up.
