    Morning denizens

    Another grey day out, currently 7°C and apparently 12° is the best we'll get; barometers up a bit more at 1024/1032mB

        Morning.

        Grey.

        Sunless.

        Colder at 14.9 deg in here. Brrr.

        1029 mBar, 30.386 in Hg, 771.8 Torr, 14.924 psi, (up from 1027 last night), 70% RH.

        Thursday apparently, the recycling engineers making their usual racket at sparrow fart this morning.

        Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom & chill wind.

        Lunch: leek & potato soup with Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt bread, bramble jelly sandwich, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Freecell score: 100%, running average 84.49%.

        More spring cleaning, even including Moving Stuff to vac where stuff was sitting.

        It strikes me that there's far too much stuff in this house.

        Moved something & the router thingie fell over (not physically, the lights went orange which is never a good sign).

        Entertainment: No Discovering instead HMS Pinafore PM.

        Tea: chilli con carne with rice, some pear halves, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Entertainment: Farscape S1 E19 "Nerve": the first sighting of Scorpius.

        Sherlock Holmes vs Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on Sky Arts.

        Discovering Sidney Lumet.

        UFO thing on Blaze: all about the big black triangles.

        Then Ancient Aliens clipshow came on with that Greek nutter with the fright hair, so that rapidly went <click>.

        Movies on Sky Arts: movies of the 1980s. Mildly inneresting.

          Another day being wasted with innumerable meetings, but I managed to find time for herby chicken, tomato and lentil soup with multiseed bread for lunch - didn't have time for anything more complicated

          Oh, and I then popped down and trundled forth the recycling bin in the remaining few minutes before the next meeting, that being the extent of my access to fresh air so far today

              Walk briskly walked, green and blue rings closed

              Still feels a bit parky out there, and it's very grey

              The car bloke has got a different mechanic

              And also a Ford Escort RS Cosworth - wrong-hand drive, no less

                    Tea has been one of those nice steak and caramelised onion burgers in a sesame bun with sweet chilli sauce, with fries. Delicious
