It brightened up a bit here towards the end of the day, and there's a nice just-turned-gibbous moon out
Summer Solstice in the morning
Evening telly has been some Trucking Hell just to pass the time. Now, an early night so I can make an early start on client work, which in turn means I'll have some time to sort out tomorrow's links before teatime
It's cloudy with little gaps out, meaning the level of illumination goes up and down slightly on a fairly short cycle, like a rather sedate lightshow. Currently 12° with 17° possible by lunchtime, but cooling down again in the afternoon with a chance of showers around teatime; barometers on 1005/1013mB, which I think is up very slightly
Dull and overcast, with some light drizzle. Currently 12 degrees with a forecast high of 14. Rain expected all day. Barometer up a touch to 1010 mBar. Not weather befitting a solstice but I suppose those loons down at the 'henge are impervious to such mundane considerations.
Having a quick coffee and then taking the car to the garage for its MOT.
Today's Kantar diary fact is:
The first 'Ferris Wheel' opens to the public at the 'Chicago Columbian Exposition' 1893
My right ear, which is the one with the more severe wax problem, is feeling very blocked today. I'm hoping this means the olive oil spray is doing its job of loosening the wax
And the mundane laundry that I forgot to do at the weekend is on
Have a feeling that the telex machine is very very shiny this morning.
Walk walked.
It's quite chilly out there but I'm sweating now I've come back inside.
Lunch: poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons oat and barley toast, bramble jelly sandwich x2 on same, red pippy corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
