Walk briskly walked in the Simpsonesque 23°C evening, red and green rings closed

I was thinking of popping up to Sainsbury's but on reflection, I don't really need anything. If I change my mind, I'll pop up tomorrow instead

Further viewing was S7E5 of Hospital covering the appalling state of mental health provision along with a bit of bone sawing for light relief

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Another grey 17°C start, with a high of 21°C expected and a small risk of sunshine mid-evening; barometers showing 1010/1018mB, so down but not to any meaningful degree - about 1mB IIRC

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Overcast but dry. Feels humid. Currently 18 degrees, forecast high of 24 later. The sun may poke its nose out but it's going to stay cloudy with a low chance of rain all day. The barometer continues to mark the slow decrease in air pressure, now down to 1020 mBar.

I omitted to report last night that bins were trundled before bedtime.

Today's Kantar diary fact is:
Christa Tybus of London sets record of 24.5 hours of hula-hooping 1978

Me, weeks ago: "We shouldn't really do it that way, it's against GDS guidelines and it also makes the whole thing vastly more complicated."

It was decided we'd do it that way

Them, today: "We shouldn't really do it that way, it's against GDS guidelines. Can you change it to the other way?"

Me: (but on mute)
