Food-accompanying telly was another episode of the Warship thingy.
Then Only Murders in the Building S1E5, Twist (TV Episode 2021), which continues to be very good
That was followed by an episode of the Norwegian Trucking Hell equivalent. They had both a cable and a chain snap in separate attempts to get a lorry out of the snow high in the mountains this time, but luckily nobody was decapitated - though the cable didn't do one of the little cameras they'd fixed in position to give a view from the top of the winch much good
And finally the Air Crash Investigation into XL Airways Germany Flight 888T, an acceptance flight intended to prove the subject A320's airworthiness preparatory to it being handed over to Air New Zealand, but which instead proved that it was distinctly not airworthy as it plummeted nose first into the sea

No current precipitation.

I think it's the calm before the storm out there - currently 13oC, overcast, dry, no breeze…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning denizens
Sunny and cloudy out, depending on which minute you have a look, though it seems the cloudy is going to win. Currently 14°C with 15° possible, but pretty windy making it "feel like" 12°C. Showers due later, and the barometers are down again at 985/993mBComment

(checks clock) Morning all
Blue / cloudy sky but rain expected this afternoon / evening. Currently 15 degrees ('feels like' 13) and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 999 mBar.
Hectic start to the day and I've only got about 50 minutes left before I have to clock off and head to Heathrow. Hopefully my flight to weegieland won't be too bumpy.

Lunch has been leftovers from the Chinese, to wit, refried chicken chow mein
The sun seems to have retreated behind clouds for the rest of the day, and the trees are stirringComment

Walk briskly walked, green ring closed
No extra leg added today, as I was head-in-the-clouds at the corner where I need to deviate from the usual route and followed that instead
But I did make the detour to the pharmacy for more LFTs, which I was able to get this time. Not that I needed any more, having an unopened box at home, but I'm stockpiling while they're still free
Rather windy out but the breeze itself is fairly warm. And there was a bit of not-quite-even-drizzle throughout
Now waiting for the results of an LFT; as there are now two cases in the family, I figured I might as well checkComment
