Which posting returned me to 20th November 2018 where I was having difficulties with some electronicky theory and it was getting colder and wetter outside on the trudge to and from Ye Newe Sloughe of Desponde.
Sun's out.
Just had a helicopter fly up the valley. Maybe someone's fallen off a waterfall again. Hope they flew high enough to get over the electricity pylons a bit further up.
AW189: went up to what appears to be
It's now at zero feet over the sea off Porthcawl. WTF is it up to?

Might make a trip to Tesco shortly, though I could put it off until tomorrow.
Walk (abbreviated) walked. Nice enough.
Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons oat & barley toasted crust, bramble jelly & marmalade sandwiches, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: Y&Y about some unfortunate lady who was declared dead by her bank, then declared undead by her bank (Barclays) which reinstated all the DDs apart from the one to SSE, now the even more incompetent Ovo, leading to a 4 year hiatus in payments due entirely to their incompetence.
Freecell score: 90%, until I played another and it went down to 81%, running average 85%.
After which the house got vacced with some considerable irritation. .
Tea: chicken in white sauce with rice n peas, some peach slices, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: PM until the MP for the 18th C came on whereupon it went <click> with some extreme prejudice.
Wheeler Dealers S10 E10 FSM Syrena: a car that goes from 0 to 60 in 36 seconds, is a 3 cylinder two stroke, and, instead of a distributor, has 3 ignition coils.
The 34bhp of this car is a slight contrast with the 300bhp of yesterday's.
So that's how they reline brake shoes. Who'd have thunk it?
The Soldering of the wires to the new alternator made my toes curl. Stone me, these people do all this stuff but, specifically in general, they can't solder for toffee.
I'd have crimped the wires instead, it's a better way to make the connection.
Yesterday's Car SOS was a 1970ish Datsun 240Z. They (Tim) blagged a "free" EFI upgrade which I've just costed at about £3k if you have to shell out for one.
Alias S3 E13 "After Six": The Covenant loses some members.
Freecell score: 96%, running average 85%. That's a bit better.
No aliens bollox on Blaze this evening and I can't find anything else that appeals. The paranormal crap is too crap even for me.
