The car earlier was an Audi TT; SORN, last MOT expired in August 2020, so possibly another victim of the plague
And then the usual malarkey with the gold diggers.
After that, I didn't feel like watching any more telly, turning instead to learning a bit more SwiftUI, in particular how to get it working with the storage APIs known as Core Data
Somewhat overcast outside, but in the streaky way that suggests it'll thin out soon and start turning sunny. Currently 6°C, 12° on the cards, and the barometers are unchanged at 1006/1015mB
I must have slept well last night as the glass of water by the bed seemed completely untouched when I awoke. Still feel tired though
Chilly in here at 13.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12.5 deg in the leanto.

Much dreaming of dreams. The gold plated handgun was mixed in there somewhere, along with car thieves.
Meanwhile on the 30th of May 2019 concern was rising over my lack of posts.
Lunch: poached tomato (two rather wrinkly ones) with scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast, bramble jelly and marmalade on slices of toast, red corner yog, 0.91*1.53 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Not going for a walk today due to pollen count.
Entertainment: about 10 minutes of TWATO.
Freecell score in the afternoon avoidance of pollen: 92%, running average 85%.
<taps screen> Is this thing on?
Tea: leek & potato soup with Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin bread, bramble jelly on slice of toast, yellow corner yog, the last of the peach slices, 0.91*1.51 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: PM. Well it lasted 5 minutes more than TWATO but went <click> when the irritating presenter & lying tory bastard debated the plod recruitment figures and the Commissioner of the Met's reply to some other lying newly tory bastard in the Home affairs committee. Other lying political bastards are, of course, readily available.

The Bad Skin clinic S5 E2 on Really. Woman with 100s of seborrheic keratosis. Woman with a lipoma on her shoulder. Chap with a white patch on his head that they tattooed back to his original colour: discoid lupus erytherythematosus. Lady with a cyst on her neck.
Dr Pimplepopper S5 E2. ditto. Woman with an enormous lipoma on her shoulder. Chap with a basal cell carcinoma close to his eye. Well that was grim. Mohs surgery. Woman with a pink seborrheic keratosis which is a bit awkward since she's brown.
Gosh. Some pimp has found my CV from 4 years ago on his/her/its/their system. It's Agile. I don't do Agile.
Abandoned Engineering: another one I haven't seen before: Berlin Wall special: the joys of the Stasi, the island of Vis, Croatia, an underground fortress built by Tito in case the Soviets invaded, an underground hypobaric training facility built by the GDR when their extensive doping of athletes became rather too obvious, Wunsdorf: the Soviet army enclave in the GDR, abandoned in 1994.
Our new developer started yesterday, so while he gets on with his mandatory training, I'm having sort out stuff - mainly working out what I need to ask other people to sort out, in fact
Lunch was zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup with a bit of wholemeal
And a towel wash is done and drying
Despite the forecast, it's remained fairly cloudy here for most of the day
