Om.

Morning all

Sunny, dry, blue sky. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses but should remain mostly sunny. Barometer up to 1020 mBar.

Yesterday's tyre shenanigans turned out to just be a valve which Kwik Fit replaced for a mere £5.50. As I was already out and in the car, I then drove down to see Mum. She was in the garden and put me to task helping her with a bit of hedge clipping and mowing the front lawn that hadn't been done since I last did it.

Back to work today.

Well England's just won on penalties.

Links are finally up

Lunch today was Heinz oxtail soup with white toast. And tea has been the rest of the Turkish mixed grill & chips from Saturday

[NickFitz]

Back to the opal hunters this evening, after what feels like a long hiatus. The usual: equipment failures for some, lucky for others.

After which I started doing a bit of Swift app work, but just got a few bits done before I stumbled across a bit that will take a less tired frame of mind to understand properly (async calls to an Objective-C API)

So I watched a new Police Interceptors instead

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Sunny start out again

The truly hot weather hasn't arrived yet though, it being 12°C with an expected high of 19°; but it should be warmer tomorrow, and distinctly hot on Thursday with 26° predicted. The barometers today are down a bit though at 1003/1011mB

Morning.

Tuesday.

Wet. Very wet. The kind of wet generated by that very fine very very wet drizzly type wet.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 20.5 deg in the kitchen, 18.5 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 2nd of July 2019 it was not, there were irritating oiks in the library attempting to access email, and I had two chicken Kievs for tea, having found them at the back of the fridge.

Sun came out very wanly.

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

Entertainment: something on R4 waffling on about some architect or other.

Someone next door scraping away at something not far from the party wall.

Sun's gone: it's raining again.

Freecell score: 95%, running average: 86% (85.552%).

Entertainment: Trucking Hell S3 E12. Oh good. More Michael. .

Tea: soup with Morrisons sunflower & pumpkin seed bread, a yog, the last of the peach slices, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Colonel March of Scotland Yard: The silver curtain.

Scotland Yard (1956) "Destination Death". More of Edgar Lustgarten. And Roger Delgado.

The Four Just Men 1959 "The Judge". Watched it before.

Dick Barton Special Agent. Made by Southern TV when that was a thing.

And now we're off to the Bavarian Alps to look at The Eagle's Nest.

The Human Jungle (1965) "Solo Performance".

Maigret on trial 1993.

A cool, but reasonably bright start to the day with patchy cloud cover. Hopeful for a bright afternoon.

Watched a gentle, if somewhat melancholy, tale called "Living" on Amazon Prime last night... old man reflects upon a life not lived in his final months. Followed up with a couple of episodes of "Unforgettable" to lighten the mood. Series 2 isn't much better that the first and the sameness is beginning to grate a bit, but I shall endure.

One week until the boy goes back to school.

Morning all

Dull, damp, overcast. Very fine rain falling and expected to do so all day. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

First day back at work wasn't too bad yesterday.
