Morning all

Damp, windy and overcast. Currently 12 degrees ('feels.like' 9) and it'll stay that way all day. Rain expected mid afternoon onwards.

Mum and I are having a quiet, lazy day today as it's just the two of us. Presents will be done tomorrow when we see my brother and his family

Have a good day, whatever you get up you!

Might open the tin of Quality Street in a bit

Mum bought.a tub of Roses a few weeks back and I went looking for them yesterday. Only found the empty tub! She claims she didn't eat them but, if not, where the heck are they??

Well played her

Right, time for me to head south! Hope you all have as good a one as whatever circumstances you find yourself in permit

Morning Afternoon.

Monday.

Wet.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Drizzly.

Not so chilly side of chilly at 13. 8 deg in here, 13 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.81199 Torr, 14.5763 psi, (unchanged but a tad then the tad unchanged back), 76% RH (GDR hair), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

Walk (unabbreviated & extended considerably) walked in the initial undrizzle replaced by drizzle which continues even yet. A Cunning Plan to avoid the relatives next door. Which worked until the bastards came back later.

The morning was ruing when some heartless bastard wished me a merry xmas. It had the potential for one of xogg's stabbity stab moments but I controlled myself.

Meanwhile on the 9th of August 2019 NF had found that Sainsburys had rebranded his freetrade blah blah blah coffee after it had disappeared some weeks earlier whilst wearing the old packaging. I hate it when they do that. Whereas in glorious Neath it was raining old women & sticks again.

Today's dream before waking involved testing the well known* DG129 LODC + 4*NC analogue switch. Quite why that particular one, I really don't know, other than its propensity for turning itself off in the dark & cold.

*And incredibly obsolete along with so much of the Siliconix back catalogue.

Filthy walk to the pub, a pint of water and a couple of beers, then a walk back home. Didn’t manage the full 14km at TheWife decided to pick me up.

Evening denizens. Hope it was a good/tolerable one. Highlight here was my excitement at including babybels on the side plates with the bread rolls, purely in order to be able to make a bad pun about remembering the real meaning of Christmas when someone asked why they were there. I was not disappointed, and at least two people at the table appreciated the humour. £2.65 well spent.

Haul includes chocolate and gin, as well as a weird wooden duck.

Glad to hear yours went well

I've got books, and a goodish amount of chocolate. Also socks

Morning denizens

I seem to be the first up here. But I have things to do: I'm popping down the road to the parents' home shortly to pick up some boxes for transportation back to mine, they being my stuff. Some are books I retained but felt I didn't have room for previously; I suppose I'll have to find room now. And some, it seems, may be old toys and such

It's fairly cloudy here and getting cloudier, and not so warm at 6°C with an expected high of 9°. But back home, where I'll be heading once be-boxed, the high will be a mere 8°C. The barometers seem to be very much on the way up at 1009/1017mB
