Sunny spells out and quite mild at 18°C, while the barometers are unchanged at 999/1007mB
Energy bill came through, based on yesterday's readings. They've been underestimating quite a bit, so it's a good thing I'm getting to pay it off at the old rate, I suppose
This morning I thought I would go and get gardening supplies. So I jumped in my car and was at the garden centre 15 minutes after it opened. I got some soil which I will use to sort out the grass. I saw some bulbs and brought some but the choice wasn't that good.
So I drove to a supermarket where I knew they would have better choice. They did. Some old man decided to stand behind my car in the car park and beg with a sign. I honked and he moved.
On the way back I realised my tank was less than half full and seeing a petrol station with 159p I thought I would fill up. However that petrol station was clearly running out of fuel and people were queuing for the two pumps that were working, so I went to the next one. It happened to be the same price and I didn't have to queue.
Then I decided to drive home. I got stuck in traffic because of the bloody rail strike.
Did some gardening.
And now doing nothing.

Thing on the telly now about snow leopards eating mountain goats
Before that there was something about a bunch of obstreperous macaques that live on an island somewhere. And before that it was the orangutan school, and the New Zealand wildlife rescuers
Day at beach at Rottingdean was nice. Very windy but quite warm & sunny. Only downside was the traveling. Impossible to go anywhere these days without long traffic jams and diversions.
