Grey and rainy out today. Not even that warm either, being at its peak of 9°C. The barometers are heading back down at 952/960mB

Monkey Life is back later!

Morning all
The Wife can see!
well, she can see colours really clearly, but the focus isn’t great yet

Once the rain had finally stopped, I ventured forth to the kebab shop, so tea has been kebab and chips

Darn it, forgot to go to the village firework night. Still, it was pretty wet anyway and had quite a good view from my bedroom window.

Lots of wildlife stuff on the box this afternoon, not least Monkey Life. It's a repeat of the series shown earlier in the year, but I missed most of it that time as I was going down to see my Mum in hospital on Saturday afternoons.

And later, an old-but-new-to-me Police Interceptors

Then to reading; I finished off The Possessors and then got started on Tom Holland's Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age

Goodnight all

Morning all
CBS, etc.
a brief power cut overnight, no idea why.
The Wife can see better this morning

It seemed inclined to be quite a bright day not long ago, but seems to have clouded over now. Brighter conditions expected this afternoon, it seems, but a bit windy too. Currently 8°C with an expected high of 11°, and the barometers are making their way back up again at 968/976mB

That's wierd. Got a cheap little flash drive recorder by the bed that I can mumble ideas into. Found I couldn't delete the files, so tried turning on the little record switch. All the file names have turned to Chinese!

Anyway, loony lady 2 wander later.

Meanwhile on the 25th of July 2019 it was universally hot hot hot, DaveB was happy with his newly arrived aircon, while Xogg received various recommendations for cookery, whereas I was searching the interweb for photos from the current book of the time, "Austerity Britain 1945 to 1951" by David Kynaston.

It's been hammering down here for half an hour, which curtailed the Battle of the Somme which appeared to be transpiring outside.

Lunch has been a moderately-sized fry-up

It was supposed to be getting sunny by now, but it hasn't
