      Morning denizens

      Another grey start out, once again 10°C with an expected high of 18°, once again the barometers down a sliver at 1015/1023mB

        Morning.

        Thursday.

        Sunny.

        Bright.

        Blue sky.

        Cool in here at 19 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

        1020 and a tad mBar, 30.129 in Hg, 765.288 Torr, 14.798 psi (down from 1020 and two tads last night), 71% RH (GDR hair), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 12th of June 2019 the weather was unborked so it was grey, dismal & damp, while there was discussion of red kites, the A14, Colin Dexter, and EBILs at exam boards.

        Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine and cool breeze.

        The gulley sucker seems to have ignored the blocked drains & cleaned the unblocked ones. Should be inneresting when the deluge returns.

        Lunch: baked potato with cheese and baked beans, a yog, bramble jelly & marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about professional snagging companies, Sliced Bread waffling on about nappies. . TWATO waffling on about something. The Inconvenience thing waffling on about something.

        Much strimming of front lawn, or the bits that the bees ignore. It's gonna be a bitch to cut. Not sure this No Mow May is a good idea.

        More strimming in the back garden & along next door's garden path. 3 or 4 very large, very spiky, thistles removed. Why would you leave those get so big? That's rhetorical, it's coz they're fecking idle.

        Tea: chilli con carne with rice, some pear halves, a yog, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

        Entertainment: Wheeler Dealers S13 E1 Mercedes Benz 560 SL V8: bought: $6k (that's $5k less than asking), total: $13,930, sold: $21k. Changed the timing chain, tensioner, guides, fuel injectors, front valance & lights, rear bumper, removed the stainless steel spats on the wheel arches, changed the suspension springs and shox, changed the rubber subframe mounts, changed the wheels. MB was in excessive motormouth mode for this ep, and subtitles plus mute came in very handy. Don't understand how changing those federal bumpers and lights makes it road legal but there you go.

        UFO bollox on Blaze.

        More UFO bollox on Blaze with Craig Charles. All about Oumuamua, the 2017 interloper from the far beyond.

        Utter indescribable bollox on Blaze: Skinwalker Ranch. Stone me I must be desperate. Last week they fired off more rockets.

          Morning all

          Dull. Overcast. Windy. Currently 11 degrees ('feels like' 9) with a high of 19 expected. Cloud cover set to lift as the day progresses. Barometer down a touch to 1025 mBar.

          Another day of people complaining beckons.

              Cool start to the day with the promise of the sun returning later.

              Might start job hunting. Might not. Time will tell.

                Roast beef bap (wholemeal) for lunch

                Comment


                  Yup, definitely got warmer through the day. Now absolutely roasting.

                  I'll maybe look for work tomorrow... maybe.

                  Burgers and buns for tea.

                    Tea here has also been a burger in a bun with fries, this time a lamb one containing garlic and rosemary; very nice, though I'll probably stick with the beef and caramelised onion ones

                      The car earlier was a Mercedes thing in America, a repeat of course, to which I didn't really pay attention as I was trying to decipher Apple's documentation on share sheets

                      And the gold diggers seemed to be doing OK, while I was making some, though not much, progress with share sheets

                      Later, S1E3 of Slow Horses: Bad Tradecraft (TV Episode 2022) in which the plot thickens, as plots will

                      And then I read a bit more of Attack Warning Red!

                      Early night again now, as last night's seemed to help

                      Goodnight all
