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 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)
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
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.
1010 mBar, 29.825 in Hg, 757.56 Torr, 14.65 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 72% RH (Lidl electric).
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.
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.
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.
