    Morning denizens

    Another sunny start, but frosty in the expected places. Currently up to 0°C from -2° earlier, but expected to reach 7° by this afternoon before plummeting again tonight. The barometers are down a bit but still high, at 1030/1039mB

        ^^^ WNFS.

        Morning.

        Monday.

        Dry.

        Sunny.

        Frosty.

        Cold in here at 11.5 deg, 11.5 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto, 2 deg in the saltinghouse.

        1039.5 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (down from 1042 last night), 69% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

        Telex machine doing its thing.

        Smalls in the WM which wasn't frozen up, which is good.

        Entertainment: discussion on witches on the wireless.

        Meanwhile back on the 23rd of April 2019 MS was still counting down whilst WTFH was doing a hen count.

        Smalls out of the WM and pegged out on the line in the frost.

        Shirts in the WM.

        Shirts out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

        Cottons in the WM.

        Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised and put away.

        Timing was out this morning so, rather than a bus, it was shanks' pony all the way home. Jiggety jig.

        Cottons out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

        Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about something.

        TWATO: waffling on about earthquakes & such like for 25 minutes.

        Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toasted crust, red corner yog (not that red, the other red), 2 x marmalade, 1 x bramble jelly on slices of toast (to get rid of the last slice), 0.91*1.57 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Almost not cold out there.

        Shirts in off the line & into the TD to finish off.

        The religious bed sheet and two pillowslips moved to the top line now that's free of shirts.

        The rest of the stuff seems to be drying nicely in the sun.

        Shirts out of the TD, roughly iRoned & airing upstairs.

        Smalls in off the line & finishing in the TD.

        Socks and towels in off the line & finishing in the TD.

        Religious bedsheet & roller towel in off the line & finishing in the TD.

        The TD had about a cup & a half of water when emptied.

        Tea: meatballs in chilli sauce with rice & peas, a yog, the last of the peach slices, 0.91*1.57 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Entertainment: PM. More earthquake.

        Wheeler Dealers S7 E3 VW S2 Camper Panel van. Bought: £2k5, Total: £8465, Sold: £9k4 (allegedly). I knew it would end up painted orange. Edd likes orange. And yellow. The gofaster goodies were mildly inneresting.

        MOT ran out in August 2020. It's had a lot of advisories since they did it up, and not a lot of miles put on it.

        No Joy of Painting. I'll have to stay awake now.

            Bed linen being laundered.

            The bed was stripped, aired and remade yesterday but the laundering part didn't really happen.

                Oh - that makes what was already something incredibly difficult way worse.

                If you have children make sure everyone knows the plans for if the worst happens.
