Tea: sausages (the nice oniony ones) and bacon with chips and beans

There was a repeat of the combine harvester company's big car, and the gold diggers are coming to the end of their season, which might mean they go back to the start of another repeated season, or they start repeating the opal hunters again

Then the Australian customs filled the time while the antiques chap was doing his thing.

And then the NEW! opal hunters, having returned to their claims after the summer when it's too hot to work, found them flooded by unprecedented heavy summer raining thus unworkable

Finally, the sapphire people, many of whom seem a lot more amateurish and disorganised than even the most useless of the gold and opal hunters

Feeling quite tired today for some reason, so getting an early night now.

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all

The Wife^TM has gone out to deliver a course, so we’re all up early. Current temp -2^oC, feels like -6.3. Might give it a few minutes before doing any outside jobs.

Morning all

Partly cloudy with bits of blue sky poking through the fluff. Dry. Frosty. It's -5 degrees with a high of 3 expected. Barometer up to 990 mBar.

Ents last night was 24 Hours in A&E, Skin A&E, and Digging For Britain.

Morning denizens

Sunny start out with clear blue sky, but not exactly warm at -3°C; not getting that much warmer either, with an expected high of 2°. Frost graces the cedar and the Victorian outbuilding roofs outside my bedroom window, and the lawn and the cars parked around it out the front. Barometers are essentially the same albeit very slightly up, at 976/985mB

[WTFH]

Warmed up to -1.1, so I ventured into the garden. The pond is frozen and the ground, which was muddy yesterday, is rock hard today.
Might wait a bit before starting outdoor jobs.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Shower showered.

Poor night's sleep: started off cold in bed then ended up sweating towards 05:30.

Sunny.

Dry.

Very very cold. 11 deg in here, 10 deg in the kitchen, 4 deg in the leanto, 0.1 deg in the saltinghouse where I turned the lights on to inject a little (100W) of heat for a while.

989 mBar, 29.2 in Hg, 741.8 Torr, 14.3442 psi, (up from 988 last night), 73% RH (GDR hair), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 15th of April 2015 NF posted the links for the 485th time but no one was listening.

Walk (abbreviated) walked in the bright sunshine & freezing cold.

Lunch: baked potato with cheese and baked beans, red corner yog, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.59 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about rescue dogs. TWAO or TWATO.

The anthurium has been on its travels today following patches of sun and warmth in a no doubt pointless attempt to save its life. The self planted ferns, on the other hand, look stunningly happy & healthy.

Trip to Halfords (for some lead acid battery terminals), B&M, Morrisons (for a dozen large eggs), and Wilko done, dusted, washed, dried, sanitised & put away.

House roughly vacced ready for tomorrow's visit from Strangelove Sis & Strangelove Niece..

Hair washed ditto.

During which the sun disappeared and it began to snow, said snow sticking where the sun hasn't warmed the ground. One was quite surprised.

Noticed that him next door (in the other half of the semi not the idle pair in the deceased parents & grandparents' house) is in. Don't see him very often. Mike next door but one reckons he's nesting with his girl friend over Ponty way. Which might mean he sells the house once it's done. .

Tea: boring battered haddock, some apricot halves, a yog, 0.91*1.63 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: PM.

Wheeler Dealers S16 E15 "Mustang V6, 2007": clip show. There was one funny bit.

10 minutes of Fred Dibnah on rolling steel rails at the Corus steelworks in Workington. Which isn't there any more, of course.

Joy of Painting The power of was strong in this one: 19:43 .

Watched the Maigret before quite recently: it's the trawler one.

Walking Britain's Roman Roads: York to that Scotland (which was full of Picts at the time apparently).

FBI S2 E11 "Fallout". No nuclear weapons were used in the making of this programme.

FBI S" E12 "Hard Decisions" deadly safe deposit box.

The Repaire Shoppe: spinning wheel: probly watched this before IIRC. Then again, one could say that about Wheeler Dealers with knobs bells & whistles on.

The sun has finally moved round far enough to be shining on the car. Give it thirty minutes or so and it'll have saved me the trouble of scraping the frost off

[WTFH]

+1^oC out, feels like -1.5.

The Dog^TW has been walked. I’ve procrastinated and can’t put off doing a bit of pruning any longer. Can’t promise I’ll do much, though.
