Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan. Very nice
An ice cream van came by earlier and stopped on the road just outside (the public road outside the grounds, not the private road outside the flat). Sadly, I was in the throes of cooking, so no 99 for me
Other notable achievements of the day have been putting loads through both the dishwasher and the washer dryer, the latter being currently in the drying phase
And I spent a bit of time working on the prototype of a SwiftUI app as there was no unrepeated car or gold mining to watch
Though that reminds me that I forgot to watch the NEW! gold mining on Monday, so I'll have to try to remember the repeat on Sunday
Viewing whilst dining has been a new Traffic Cops which I'm now watching the rest of
In the post today, a card exhorting me to "Save the Date" of my oldest niece's wedding in September next year
Hardly seems any time since her christening
Though her christening was on the fiftieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, so I suppose it was a while ago. They don't seem to have bothered with selecting a similarly notable date for this occasion
Sunny start again, just like the olden days (i.e. last week). Currently 18°C with 24° prognosticated, and the barometers are on the way back up at 1007/1015mB. Some rather Simpsonesque clouds hanging around as decoration, too
Cool in here at 21.9 deg, 23 deg in the kitchen, 20.5 deg in the leanto.
1014.5 mBar, 29.958 in Hg, 760.94 Torr, 14.71 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 67% RH (GDR hair), 65% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 20th of June 2019 it rained on NF, whereas MS was in proud mummy mode when her wee boy got a 1st in his degree, and I failed to watch more than five minutes of "Catch 22" yet again (even if it was the non Alan Arkin version).
Walk (very abbreviated due to accompanying dog walker & dog) walked. Made a change to have a conversation though the level of exercise achieved was moot. Nice list of local murders duly ticked off.
Lunch: baked potato with cheese & baked beans, a red corner yog, bramble jelly & marmalade on slices of toast, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: TWATO.
Some gooseberries picked, washed, topped & tailed, & in the freezer. Not quite fully ripe but they'll do.
Trucking Hell S1 E9.
Tea: chilli con carne with rice, some peach slices, a yog, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment: PM.
Wheeler Dealers S13 E 1916 Cadillac. The last of the Edd eps.

The Pekin to Paris Rally: it didn't happen. Edd bought the cars apparently.
Joy of Painting made up for it by falling asleep earlier during Trucking Hell.
Trucking Hell S7 E2. Inneresting enough. Merrie had to remove some clothes.
Some UFO bollox on Blaze that was too much bollox even for me.
Gone terribly gloomy here and started raining heavily. Looks like there's some lightning over in the direction of Rutland, so that might arrive soon too
