Morning denizens
Up very betimes, so walk briskly walked, green ring closed
Quite pleasant out there, currently 11°C which is what it was when I went a-walking, bit cloudy at the moment but clearing up later, when there's a chance of reaching 20°; the barometers are steady at 1009/1017mBComment

Morning.
Dry.
Grey.
Sunless.
Chillier at 16.6 deg in here.
1017 mBar, 30.03 in Hg, 762.8 Torr, 14.75 psi, (up from 1016 and a bit last night), 73% RH.
Friday. The Thirteenth. Abandon hope!
The dairyman's toffeenosed & stuck up grandson is on Today shortly, so the very predictable <click> is imminent.
Smalls in the WM.
Smalls out of the WM and into the TD.
Shirts in the WM.
Entertainment: Fiona Hill on Desert Island Discs: her opinion of The Orange One is much the same as any sensible person's.
Smalls out of the TD and airing upstairs.
Shirts out of the WM and into the TD.
Cottons in the WM.
Dunno why everything seems to be happening so quickly this morning, other than getting up before 08:00, which might have sommat to do with it.
Glad I didn't listen to the dairyman's grandson & his toffeenosed voice and fake uppercrust attitudes.
Shirts out of the TD. It seems unusually efficient today. This does not bode well.

Walk (abbreviated due to it being Friday the fecking 13th & putting my back out halfway through which slows things down a tad) walked.
Cottons out of the WM and into the TD.
Shirts iRoned and airing upstairs. The curious pong of unuse remains with that one white shirt.
Entertainment (in quotes): Archive on 4 all about something called Ok Computer apparently.
Something I've never listened to and judging by my response to this, something I won't be listening to again.
Still it occupied the ears during the iRoning.
Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt toasted crust, a yellow corner yog, bramble jelly & marmalade sandwiches, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: TWAO followed by the thing about the 1990s.
Cottons out of the TD & roughly iRoned & airing over the banisters. Which completes this week's washing frenzy.
Freecell score: 92%, running average 85% (84.54 something).
I was thinking of more potching in the garage but the current lack of mobility seems to have knocked that idea on the head.
More ibuprofen gel applied to back.
I suppose it's doing something. .
Tea: Tesco battered cod, some pear halves, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: Discovering Jodie Foster.
Farscape S2 E7 "Dream a little dream": the flashback one that should have been S2E1 until they chickened out since it doesn't clear up the cliffhanger from S1 E22.
Vanished Wales: the village of Groes* that disappeared under the M4 in Margam, pier & theatre in Rhyl, POW camp, Capitol Cinema Cardiff.
*Pronounced "gross" by the locals. . I think I fixed a telly there back in the day. Before they knocked it all down.
Weatherman Walking: Crosskeys to Felinfoel. Well there's tidy then. Along what used to be a railway line.
Freecell score: 95%, running average 85% (84.5 something, but I've forgotten quite what).
Gardener's World (FFS, desperation was setting in) to find they were talking about carniverous plants.
Followed by some lune growing a jungle 18 floors up in a Manchester tower block. I was a bit concerned about stuff falling off and killing some unfortunate down below.
Now some prog on S4C about guitars in Welsh rock music: "Gitar yn y To". Stone me, some of them are ancient.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 13 May 2022, 22:23.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

I see the Valiant Ladymuck left ESPDM last night and is now en route to Manuel's home town, due to arrive at… 6am yesterday?

Quadrifoglio Verde (or QV) is a green 4-leafed clover, the symbol of the Alfa racing team.
Personally, I prefer the ones from the early 60s.

As to the "Alpha" part, who knows? The EPG is long gone now. Like as not it was my typo.
I've seen much funnier ones than that on the EPG. .Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 13 May 2022, 09:12.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
