Morning.
Damp with intermittent precipitation judging by the noise from the leanto roof.
Grey.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 20.9 deg.
1001 mBar (or a tad less), 29.559 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (unchanged from last night), 73% RH.
Wednesday. Already. Where does the time go?
Meanwhile on 19th December 2018 (continued) I'd been up & about since 04:00 (really? seems unlikely), had managed to step on a nail in next door's garage piercing a brand new shoe and puncturing (slightly IIRC) the ball of my foot (no doubt slathered with antiseptic & alcohol to prevent gangrene), MS was still
whereas NF seemed reasonably ok, with WTFH having "high level talks" about sommat or other.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the intermittent sunshine with occasional deluge.
Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toasted crust, bramble jelly & marmalade on slices of toast, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: Y&Y: the usual assortment of whines & whinges & frauds & illegal camping.
Freecell score in the intermittent deluge: 89%, running average 85%.
Potched about a little in a fairly aimless way & found Yet More Buttons (one of Strangelove Mater's little collections thereof, the big collection is down in the garage), a box full of half crowns, a tin of hapennies and pennies and farthings, another tin of what appear to be foreign coins, and several rolls of sticky & masking tape that now resides with the other sticky tapes.
Tea: meatballs with rice n peas, stewed apple (the last of that container I thought was lentil soup & turned out not to be) with custard (which I made sure didn't boil over today), 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
There was one of those very intense bursts of rain just as I started the washing up & the racket on the leanto roof nearly gave me a heart attack.
Entertainment: Wheeler Dealers S12 E7 VW Type 181 Thing: or the factory version of the beach buggy. Bought for $8k & they spent $4.5k on new side screens, bits of carburettor, parts for the petrol fuelled cabin heater, and a disc brake conversion kit.
The Sweeney S2 E1 "Chalk & Cheese": the armed robbers: one a toff the other a might have been boxer. Along with Lesley-Ann Down.
The Repair Shoppe: Olympic (Special) Torch, stuffed toy cat, jukebox that let out The Magick Smoke during the owner's wake, sign.
That's a novelty, servicing an amplifier with an angle grinder.
And why not put a bit of fresh solder on the battery soldered connections to make it work like solder again?
The Sweeney S2 E2 "Faces":
Mach a Seo! Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument: "Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!".
Dr Pimplepopper.
That National Park Mysteries on Blaze: bollox about the Grand Canyon, Egyptian relics in a cave, followed by bollox about a plane crash in some National Park swamp that led to haunted airplanes when salvage parts from the crash were used to repair other planes.. Who knew that was a thing?
