The last of the left over curry was eaten for dinner. FTAOD, the bundle ordered for NY comprised four different curries plus various side dishes and accompaniments, hence why it's lasted so long.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been gammon, fried eggs, chips and beans. Very tasty

The rain's back, though tapering off to drizzle now.

[ladymuck]

It's been raining here too. It would seem that the overnight temperature will remain above freezing so the pavement shouldn't be an ice rink in the morning (not that I'd be going outside)

[NickFitz]

Much of a muchness on the telly tonight, starting with some US Customs stuff and then the rest of Traffic Cops while I ate.

Then the concluding part of Dopesick. That really is very good

And finally a couple more episodes of Chernobyl.

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all
TFIF, etc

Very heavy rain (or maybe hail) overnight, but the sky is clearing now.

Quantum Leap S3 E18 "": the bounty hunter one.

NCIS S11 E2 "Decoy". Turns out E3 & E4 are on this evening at 00:00 to 02:00 which is a bit odd.

"The search for the Tesla Files" on Blaze (makes a change from Ancient Alien Researchers): apparently he invented cell phones in 1901. Which seems a bit early to me.

Ah: his stuff was held by the Custodian of Aliens Property.

Oh feck, The Orange One's uncle was involved in this back in the day. John G. Trump.

This guy: https://www.nytimes.com/1985/02/26/u...er-was-78.html

A Trump who wasn't a complete & utter dickhead unlike his nephew.

NCIS LA S11 E4 "Yellow Jack".

Morning all

Blue sky, things seem to have dried out after the overnight rain. Currently 4 degrees ('feels like' 1) with a high of 6. No rain expected until this evening. Barometer down to 1011 mBar.

Better sleep last night, thank goodness. HWMBO returns this afternoon, wherein there will be a mild flurry of washing and packing activity before we go to Malta on Sunday.

Busy day at work, as everything I've been waiting on other people for has conspired to arrive today so I have much to do that I could have spread out over the week. Plus more work needed on a project I thought I'd gotten rid of due to some crafty manoeuvring by the PM who took it over four months ago (and did nothing with it).

Morning denizens

I awoke without alarms again, and it's definitely better that way

Having done so, I realised that it's Bin Day and I might already have missed my chance to get us back a decent recycling bin, so I quickly threw on my clothes and headed out the back. There was a bin wagon just moving on up the side road when I got out there, but I think that was general waste. Anyway, I was able to locate a Good Bin and get that trundled back in, after which I came inside, had a shower, made coffee, and took it back to bed to prepare for the real start of the day

It's still a bit damp from the rain we had and there was a mild frost last night, but it's a bright sunny day now. Currently 4°C ("feels like" 0° but it didn't when I went out) with 6° promised for later when it gets a bit cloudier; barometers are down a little at 999/1007mB

[NickFitz]

Lunch: roast beef butty on multiseed bread

Mainly because when I took the two chicken drumsticks out to defrost for yesterday's lunch I thought I'd found a third wrapped in foil and was going to have that too, but after it had thawed, it turned out to be roast beef

[NickFitz]

Walk briskly walked, green ring closed

I wasn't going to bother because firstly, it's cold - nominally 4°C but "feels like" 0°; and secondly, I'm lazy, so that seemed like a good excuse not to. But I eventually realised I'd just keep trying to guilt myself into it if I didn't get it done, so I did

Rain is now forecast for the next couple of hours so, should it arrive, it will have been a good thing I got it out of the way
