It's raining steadily outside now, and according to the weather app will continue to do so through the night, possibly having a little break in the morning before resuming for the rest of tomorrow
Overcast but quite bright. The ground is damp from overnight rain. It's 9 degrees at the moment, forecast high of 12. The sun is expected to make an appearance before the clouds come back and rain resumes early evening. Barometer steady at 994 mBar.
I forgot to report the trundling of bins last night, which have been collected.
Slept better last night, very heavy though so was still tired on waking and had an extra 20 mins snooze time.
Today's Kantar diary fact is:
Egyptian archaeologists discover a Pharonic tomb containing 50 mummies dating back to 323-30 BC in Cairo, Egypt 2019
Lunch: Heinz pea & ham soup with Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed bread, bramble jelly sandwich on same, red pippy corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Dunno what to do this afternoon, it's not very inviting out there.
<hiatus>
Freecell score: 92%, running average 84% (83.64ish).
Very dark out there.
Took a look in the tinshed, water still blowing in around the door.
Garage: rather drier than lately, the internal guttering not collecting a lot overnight.
Next door's shed: very damp. Potched about sorting various bits of antique electrical plugs & sockets (round pin, 5A & 15A), assorted bits of wire sorted, door locks & brass door knobs sorted.
It eventually got so dark in there and so cold & draughty that I gave up and came back into the house.
<hiatus during which I read more of the current book>
Tea: Tesco breaded haddock, yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Due to operator inattention the haddock was rather darker on one side than the other.
Entertainment: Thing about tanks on PBS.
Bad Skin Clinic on Quest Red at 22:00:
A welsh woman with bad skin on hands & feet with yellow pustules, destroyed nails on feet: palmoplantar pustulosis.
Ooops: stop smoking. Oh dear (tm).
And change the beta blocker she's on.
Chemophototherapy: tablet and UV light to hands & feet.
Treatment in Cardiff. There's tidy then.
PUVA treatment.
Take tablet 2 hours before exposure & wear sunglasses until the sun goes down.
Hasn't stopped smoking, the beta blocker stopped.
Next a woman with a bump on her head.
Pilar cyst: this may be fun.
Yup. It burst & ejaculated.
Now a lady with a red rash.
She's had a heart transplant at 9, followed by Burkitt's lymphoma.
Grey out and still damp from last night's rain, though that hasn't carried on as forecast. Officially it's "foggy" out (though it isn't in any meaningful sense) and the rain will be back at teatime. Currently 8°C and rising to 10° later, with barometric pressures of 982/989mB
