    It's always a plus when Mr Nimoy turns up. .

      A family lunch, mostly cooked by HWMBO, with dessert cooked by his youngest. Stuffed!

      Antipasti with homemade focaccia
      Fresh tagliatelle with ragu
      Turbot with clams and ratatouille
      Pannacotta sponge cake

        Tea has been beef scouse with a mix of wholemeal and seedy bread

        Soft items only as last night a filling and part of the adjacent tooth broke. No pain, but I don't want to put excessive pressure on it until I'm sure more of it isn't going to break off

        I wonder if the dentist will be willing to see me? I was due for a checkup just after lockdown started, so of course that never happened. Then I phoned about a year after that, and they still weren't seeing any but "serious" cases. Perhaps this will be serious enough for me to get in? Maybe not, though

            Yes, that is curiously disturbing in a very strange way.

              After a day gardening (including wheelbarrowing a tonne of horse manure from a neighbour’s paddock into our rose garden), I am officially Billy buggered. TFBSZ

                Telly whilst dining was an episode of The Repair Shop, and then afterwards another one - both new, full-length episodes

                Early night now, for Monday lies in wait like a ravening beast

                Goodnight all

                  Morning denizens

                  Grey and drizzly morning out there, which might make it a little milder: 7°C at the moment with 13° predicted for the afternoon; though there's also a breeze making it "feel like" 4°

                  Barometers are down rather again, at 1002/1010mB

                    Morning all
                    Achy joints today.
                    Light rain overnight will help the manure to soak into the ground and release all its unctuous goodness.

                      Hope the tulip was well rotted. .

                      In a turn up for the book, went to bed 2 hours later than NF. due to Yet More UFO Foo Fighter bollox, thankfully less millenarian than the septic bollox that preceded it which just about avoided mentioning 666 and the mark of the beast.

                      Morning.

                      Grey.

                      Wet.

                      Damp.

                      Dreary.

                      Sunless.

                      Cold in here at 12.8 deg.

                      1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi (down from 1019 last night), 66% RH.

                      Monday.

                      Telex machine glowing particularly brightly in the gloom.

                      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

                      It's alleged to be milder but it didn't much feel like it.

                      Thankfully it avoided raining on me.

                      Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toasted crust, bramble jelly sandwich, a red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                      Freecell score: 100% (of 13), running average 84%.

                      I should be doing something, in fact quite a lot of somethings but the will to do anything whatsoever seems to have departed and hasn't returned since last December. .

                      Freecell score (this box): 100% (of a lot), running average 92%.

                      Tea: the last of the roast chicken fillets, stewed apple and custard, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                      Entertainment: Discovering Helen Mirren.

                      Farscape S1 E1 "Premiere": never saw this back in the day.

                      Neanderthals: Meet your ancestors.

                      NCIS S18 E14 "Unseen improvements". Rather better than the recent run of things.

                      "The Challenger Disaster (2013)" with William Hurt playing Richard Feynman.
