Whilst back on 20th Feb 2019, Doggie & I were reviewing some of The Duke's films, and I was celebrating the cancellation of the repeat visit to Carmarthen to undergo the hearing test they forgot the first time I went there, plus I celebrated getting rid of the Dutton Phaeces of immortal memory, a car I was glad to see the back of about 30 years earlier.
House roughly vacced with some escaped peas duly removed from the living room.
Entertainment: Wheeler Dealers S9 E1 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupe, roughly 1970ish, bought for £12k5 (15k euros), total: £14k4, sold: £15k5. Well that was a fair amount of effort for £1k1.

Entertainment: R4 news. Any Questions. Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? Just askin' like.
It's still wet, grey, gloomy, sunless and cold, so it looks like the walk is not happening any time soon.

There's some inneresting pictures of Edd China's road legal sofa on the interweb. Not sure how it's road legal but there you go. It's MOT ran out a couple of years ago.
It was hammering down out there just now, but it's lightened up a bit.
Sun came out: walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.
Much wetness and plenty dampness observed.
Tea: not so fiery bol with far too much spag (portion control out the window again), stewed gooseberries & custard, 0.91*1.5 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Maigret S4 E5 "A man condemned". 1963. A man awaiting the guillotine. And not the one that gives you paper cuts. With that Philip Madoc before he became a Nazi U boat captain.
Raining and set to continue all day. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer up to 1015 mBar.
Off to visit Mum today. Down on the coast it's raining more enthusiastically and is expected to reach 14 degrees.
Hopefully she'll remember I set up a higher earning savings account for her and won't accuse me of stealing all her money after I've done the transfer. I will need to write down notes for her about it. She's changed her internet banking log on details again which is annoying but the banking app still pings me when she uses her debit card which is still useful. Only two more months to go before the LPA should arrive, hopefully.
We’re waiting for the rain here. It’ll come in the next half hour.
