    Lunch has been sausages in finger rolls

    Very sunny out, and up to 25°C

    Comment


      Very warm, but overcast today. Muggy might be the word for it.

      First interview in a while out of the way. Quite please with how it went, but one is never sure of these things. Needed the practice though.

      Quite bored now... you might be able to tell... :innocent face:

        Muggy here too.

        Popped out at lunchtime to drop a check off from HMRC into my Mum's bank account. She got a £23 income tax refund. Why HMRC can't pay these things direct into people's bank accounts is beyond me.

        Apparently the micro-managing from the 'agile delivery coordinator' is because that's how you work as a team.

        I think I might pop to Tesco later and see if I can get a shelf-stacking job.

          Just treated myself to a jam sandwich (blackcurrant, thanks for asking). Lovely, not had one for while.

                Morning denizens

                Patchy cloud out, but still warm from yesterday at 18°C; it's expected to remain rather cloudy, but get up to 24° later. It'll also be quite windy this afternoon. The barometers are down a little at 1004/1012mB

                    Morning.

                    Friday.

                    Damp.

                    Grey.

                    Dreary.

                    Wanly sunny.

                    Cool in here at 20.9 deg, 22.5 deg in the kitchen, 21 deg in the leanto.

                    1012 mBar, in Hg, Torr, psi, (up from 1011 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 77% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Meanwhile on the 2nd of July 2019 Xogg was attempting to decypher some messages he'd left himself & disposing of ancient spices from the spice rack, whilst there was discussion of assorted drugs of addiction.

                    Lunch (half an hour after doing the breakfast dishes): scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toasted crust, bramble jelly & marmalade on slices of toast, yellow corner yog, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                    I lied. It's S11.

                    My big lawn duly mown in the heat of the afternoon, along with the lawn belonging to the magnificently embosomed one next door but one, feck me it was hard work with the mower bin being full after one half stripe coz the grass was ridiculously long.

                    Entertainment: Trucking Hell S3 E15, no Rory.

                    Tea: soup with Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed bread, a yog, the last of the pear halves, 0.91*1.55 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                    PM. It's waffling on about the pub that burned down weeks after being sold. . Wonder where that pile of rubbish blocking the access came from. .

                    Joy of Painting. . Curiously we've gone from S12, not to S13, but to S6.

                    First it's there, then it isn't.

                    Got a bottle of beer and a pot plant for mowing next door but one's lawn. Which was more than I've got from either next doors this year.

                    1 bucket of apples (that's 50.5 now) and a third of a bucket of pears, now that the jackdaws have moved on to the pear tree.

                      Nice and warm out. Had a potch about in the back garden while waiting for my mini baguette to bake and cool down enough to eat.

                      Lunch has been baguette with cheese, ham and tomato. With a touch of mustard.
