        Tea has been a thick-cut ribeye steak with fried onions, chips and beans

        Accompanied, as is traditional, by an episode of Trucking Hell. In this one, Merry's mighty truck was unwell and she had to venture forth in a lesser vehicle

        Earlier, the car was a Ford Escort Mk. I which ended up bright yellow and sold rapidly. Taxed until September

        And the gold hunters were hunting gold, but TBH I didn't pay much attention as I'd seen it before, and then I went to the kitchen to sort the food out

          In better news, the cameras have picked up a hedgehog that has emerged from hibernation - and where it appeared in the garden implies that it was using the wine box house I built for it.

              Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Fall (2022) in which a couple of rock climbing gals ascend a derelict 2000ft high TV tower for YouTube views, but are unexpectedly deprived of the route of descent once at the top. It does make use of several tropes commonly found among the "lost with no way out" genre, but all in all, I thought it was pretty good

              And then a rewatch of The Fugitive (1993) which, it seems, I first watched back in June 2017. The train crash is still very good, as is the film as a whole

              Finally, a couple more episodes of The West Wing. They're getting into the campaign now, which TBH tends to be a bit dull if you aren't American and can therefore see how ridiculous presidential campaigns are over there rather than taking it for granted as something Serious and Important

              Goodnight all

                  Morning all

                  Sunny with lumps of fluff. Currently 20 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Back home it looks like it's cloudy but dry with a high of 13 degrees.

                  Hungover. Had a lovely dinner out and too much wine. HWMBO says the buffet breakfast is excellent. I just had some fruit and coffee.

                  Flight home is delayed by 90 mins.

                    Morning.

                    Saturday.

                    Knackered.

                    Spotted the first flat hedgehog of the year the week before last.

                    Wet side of Damp.

                    The wind seems to have dropped from the semigale level of yesterday.

                    White sky.

                    Sunless.

                    Grey.

                    Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12.5 deg in the leanto.

                    1002 mBar, 29.589 in Hg, 751.561 Torr, 14.533 psi, (up from 997 last night), 74% RH (GDR hair), 75% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Meanwhile on the 14th of May 2019 NF had assembled a pile of PCW mags that was 3 or 4 feet tall, whilst I'd forgotten to fill the bird feeders and WTFH had missed a shot at a rat.

                    Entertainment: Wheeler Dealers S12 E4 BMW 2002 tii. Again. . Ah yes, the one with the ancient guy fixing the ancient mechanical injection pump. Bought: $7750, total: $21450, sold: $35k.

                    Sun's out.

                    Walk (abbreviated) walked. Not particularly warm & it's windier than I'd thought.

                    Lunch: baked potato (with black bits) with cheese & baked beans, red corner yog, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                    Entertainment: yesterday's ep of the R4 thing at 13:45 coz I was busy at the time.

                    Freecell score: 89%, running average 85% (85.179%).

                    Tea: spag with some bol spiced up with extra chilli, some mango slices, a yog, 0.91*1.51 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                    Entertainment: precious little.

                    The thing about Skunkworks is on tomorrow which explains why I couldn't find it in the EPG today.

                    "Fortress Britain" with that Alice Roberts: E1: Henry VIII. . This isn't cutting the mustard it must be said. Then again, very little seems to do that these days.

                    The first half hour of T3.

                    Conspiracies Decoded on Quest: Escape from Alcatraz: did they make it to the mainland?

                    The Lindbergh baby. Lindbergh was slightly right of Attila the Hun and good mates with a fair number of the leading lights of the National Socialist Party, being a believer in eugenics. Which might have turned out rather badly for his disabled son. Lindbergh ran the investigation into the kidnapping and patsy went to the chair.
