Morning all, local time 1152

Cloudy, damp. Currently 10 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain forecast all day.

Lazy day today but go the concierge to book us a restaurant for dinner this evening.

Edited to add: Just checked the temperatures in my house and all rooms are down to 10 degrees Did a quick heating boost and will have to remember to warm it up before I head home on Tuesday.

The snow came, but due to some cockup they'd delivered too much in Cumbria, so we didn't get a huge amount. It's started to thaw, and now drizzle is moving in to wash the rest away. Currently 3°C so a little warmer than the last few days, but it's not getting any warmer than that. The barometers are back down a little at 998/1006mB

Lunch: sausage and bacon and white toast butty

And breakfast earlier was a couple of croissants with strawberry jam. Going to be a high calorie kind of day

Tea has been quite late, so is better described as supper: herby chicken, tomato and lentil soup with a crust of wholemeal

Fresh monkfish tail with a fennel, garlic, absinthe and breadcrumb crust served with broccoli and potatoes for dinner, after writing a few Christmas cards and drinking sherry. (One must drink cherry when writing Christmas cards, apparently it’s a family tradition.)
Currently blowing a hooley with driving rain down here. You northerners will get it later, I suspect.

There was some (repeated) Australian border stuff on this afternoon, though I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it. Tonight: several old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E

Raining a bit here but I suspect that WTFH is correct and a lot more is on the way, which the rainfall radar seems to confirm

Penultimate working Monday of the year tomorrow

Goodnight all

Morning all
Filthy weather here, to the extent that Max looked at me and went into the garden for a poo, then wanted to come back in again.
Will take him out later

Grey and rainy start to the day, and it's expected to continue in that vein right through to this time tomorrow, which is as far ahead as the detailed forecast looks. A bit warmer than it has been, though: 4°C now and aiming for 5° later. The barometers are predictably down, at 984/992mB

Meanwhile on the 2nd of August 2019 WTFH described cyclists as "Too chewy", NF confirmed he'd seen the twatter feed of Pepys' diary & that it had wrapped around to the beginning, whereas I had located the wasp's nest in the garage & decided to leave it alone since they weren't bothering me so I wouldn't bother them. Live & let live but you wouldn't like me if I got angry. .
