Lunch, by the way, was zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup with wholemeal bread

Lunch was a chicken and rice concoction cooked up by HWMBO.
Lots of left overs that will keep me in meals for a few days if the kids don't hoover it all up.Comment

After what felt like a fair bit of faffing about but was only really about thirty minutes, a chicken casserole is in the oven
And a mundane wash has been done too which finished during that process, so I'd better get it out and hang it up

The chicken casserole turned out inordinately nice, accompanied by chips and peas
I often use a packet casserole mix from Sainsbury's because it's nice, but I forgot to get any, so I improvised with what I had in the cupboard. It turned out so well, I may just stick to doing it this way in future

Tea, and after, was accompanied by an episode of Trucking Hell featuring a lorry that had crashed into an electricity substation and a boat that somebody wanted lifting into their back garden many miles from the sea, among other things
Better get to sleep I suppose, as it seems like the morning may offer the best chance tomorrow to get a walk in while it's not raining
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Current conditions outside: occasional light drizzle tending towards showers
It's quite mild at 17°C but not expected to get past 20°, with rain predictions ranging from 100% in the next hour to 30% for one hour this evening, but generally between 60% and 90% with the occasional gap. Barometers slightly down at 1000/1008mB. So quite a nice day really, when you bear in mind that hot sunny weather is horrid

Morning all
Dull and overcast this morning but no precipitation at this time. It's currently 18 degrees with a high of 19 expected. It's due to rain from lunchtime onwards with warnings on the radio that with little wind, cloud will not move much and so rain could be in the 'deluge' category. Barometer steady at 1010 mBar.
Didn't want to get up this morning, but managed to drag myself out of bed eventually.
