    And after the gloomy start, it's turned into a sunny day with an almost completely clear sky here, at least for now

        How much F'ing KFC did you buy?

        Still I guess not everyone is MF and would eat a Party Bucket as a starter.

              The opal hunters were doing OK tonight, with one lot making a quarter of a million (their estimate)

              And around that, I watched a chunk of S1 of the Emergency thing from C4. One game you can play while watching this is spotting any medical staff who've previously appeared in 24 Hours in A&E as I think that's been filmed at all of the London Major Trauma Centres at one time or another

              Goodnight all

                  Morning denizens

                  Fairly cloudy out, but not overcast as such, with a fair few bands of blue. Slightly colder though: 9°C, with a high of 12° later, when it'll also get a bit sunnier. The barometers are bouncing back again at 988/996mB

                    Morning.

                    Tuesday.

                    Grey. Very very grey.

                    Dark.

                    Dank.

                    Intermittent deluge with added murrain of beasts.

                    Chilly in here at 14.9 deg, 15 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

                    Meanwhile on the 28th of July 2019 I had random bits of stale pork pie & a Ginsters pasty for tea, while Brillo made one of his lengthy contributions to the thread.

                    Freecell score: 94%, running average: 86% (85.84%).

                    Sun came out

                    Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

                    Lunch: baked spud etc.

                    Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about private parking scum.

                    TWATO. Guess wot that's waffling on about.

                    13:45: Post Office Horizon scum scandal.

                    Beginning to wonder if Fujitsu wrote the board software too.

                    Walk (abbreviated) walked in the sunshine, with a brief appearance of a rainbow.

                    Freecell score: 94%, running average: 86%.

                    Tea: soup etc.

                    Bits of Crocodile Dundee II.

                    Maigret "Death of a Harbour Master (1995)".

                    Massive Engineering Mistakes. Elliot Lake (yes, Uranium City) Ontario: mall collapse due to salty water ingress from rooftop parking corroding steel girders. Taum Sauk pumped storage reservoir collapse, Profit Mountain Missouri due to the settling of the dam walls leading to overtopping washing the wall away since the HighHigh sensor was higher than the dam wall & didn't go off. Melbourne Australia highrise fire: ACM again: caused by a cigarette but in a yogurt carton on floor 8. Everyone got out of that one. Mayflower crude oil spill from a cracked weld in a pipeline. "Low frequency welding" used back in the day.

                      Afternoon all

                      Much rain. Levels varying between lots and deluge. Currently 11 degrees and it might make it up to 12. The rain may stop early evening for a while. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

                      Busy morning. Writing some kind of strategy document.

                      Lunch was a bacon and tomato roll.
