    It appears a brewery in Surrey has produced a beer in memory of The DogTW . So far they have made a firkin of it. One pin (36 pints) has been given to me, which should be ready in a couple of weeks. It might go in to production.

        They didn't deign to give us a repeat of a car today, as they were repeating recently-shown opal hunters for much of the day

        Then the gold hunters carried on as usual.

        And later, NEW! gold hunters, including the return of the guy who destroyed his marriage through his obsession a few years ago and who hadn't been seen since

        Better get to bed I suppose, as they expect me to work tomorrow

        Goodnight all

            I'm up and about. It's raining. The construction around us has just restarted.
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              Morning denizens

              CBS and sunny start, after some overnight rain, but it's due to get windy, cloud over, and start drizzling by teatime. Currently 6°C, rising to 12° later, and the barometers are up a bit at 999/1007mB

                Morning.

                Tuesday.

                Damp.

                Wanly sunny.

                White sky.

                Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12.5 deg in the leanto.

                1009 mBar, 29.7957 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (down from 1010 last night), 74% RH (GDR hair), 72% RH (Lidl electric).

                Meanwhile on the 22nd of May 2019 NF had consumed the final portion of very nice bol, followed by a viewing of "The Enforcer" being the 3rd outing of Dirty Harry, while I was watching the thing on tv about rockets & nukes.

                The guru thing on R4 is currently waffling on about some Canadian nutjob who drinks his own urine.

                Pissing down out there now. There, that didn't take long.

                Following on from some halfhearted cleaning: Freecell score: 95%, running average: 85% (85.21%).

                Lunch: baked potatoes with cheese and baked beans, a red pippy corner yog, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.53 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                Entertainment: the last 10 minutes of Y&Y waffling on about holidays. TWATO waffling on about Biden, the CBI debacle.

                Still pissing down out there.

                Some of the kitchen cleaned in places that haven't been touched in a while judging by the amount of filth.

                House roughly vacced.

                Tea: battered cod, the last of the fruit cocktail, a yog, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                Entertainment: PM with the presenter having kittens when someone used the world "crap". . FFS.

                Wheeler Dealers S10 E12 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with a 390 cu in V8. Bought: $5k, £3k, total: £19,550, sold: £25k.

                Well he made a silk purse out of that pig's ear, air suspension, paint job, new interior, some welding on the C pillar. Forgot to note the reg.

                Freecell score: 91%, running average: 85% (85.27%). Last game was a bastard so I stopped after solving it.

                More of the Shatner book "I'm working on that". 2002 is a looooong time ago. I bought it 2nd hand in the Oxfam bookshop on the 24th of March 2012.

                The rain has stopped but it's blowing a gale.

                S2 E4: Maigret on Trial.That was rather good. Not a story I'd seen before.

                  It's happening again

                  Taken one of those Clarityn things, as I vaguely recall a pharmacist telling me they were OK to take along with my usual stuff

                    Lunch: Scotch broth with a crust of wholemeal. Very tasty

                    The Clarityn thing seems to be helping a bit

                      Evening all

                      Today started off sunny and then turned cloudy before a very strange noise that I thought might be wind but was actually very heavy rain (and wind too, judging by the angle of it). I didn't check the temperatures but the barometer was up a bit this morning to 1014 mBar.

                      I have been poorly today and not ventured far from my bed. I did get up long enough to cover a meeting and answer some basic enquiries. Finally, more than 12 hours after waking up feeling queasy, I have expelled what was ailing me and I'm on the mend.
