Volunteery thing planting trees this morning. Wish they'd stop taking photos and emailing them to us. Who's that miserable old git on the left?

If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
John Wayne (My guru, not to be confused with my beloved prophet Jeremy Clarkson) -
Tea has been a nice fry-up
After the giddy excitement of their rebranding exercise last year, the telly people have come to their senses and restored the default Sunday afternoon viewing: North American borders (Canadian at the moment), and New Zealand roads policing
All of them have, of course, been repeated multiple times. I might think of something better to do with my time if they don't find some new ones soonComment

Later viewing was a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E
And then I read a bit more of Eon
Monday tomorrow, again, so time for an early night
Goodnight allComment

Morning denizens
Not a very warm start, nor rest of the day: currently 0°C and getting no higher than 3°, and that only for an hour or so around lunchtime. The barometers are up yet more at 1022/1030mBComment

-2°C on our walk earlier. Good news is that the roads have dried out, so it wasn't slippy, and the fields were crispy.
Now in warming up.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning.
Monday.
Dry.
Blue sky.
Sunny.
Perishingly cold: 10 deg in here, 9 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto, 1 deg in the salting house. May have to put a heater in there to stop stuff freezing up.
1031 mBar, 30.4454 in Hg, 773.313 Torr, 14.95339 psi, (up from 1029 last night), 76% RH (GDR hair), 58% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 15th of August 2019 WTFH wasn't rained on & went out hunting with a knife, returning with 600g of mushrooms. Magic.. PPI claims were discussed.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. I wondered why it was so heavy to carry then realised it was at least 10kg. Shanks out shanks back.
Walk (abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom. Cold wind.
Freecell score: 88%, running average: 86%.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: PM.
Wheeler Dealers S10 E5 Morris Minor 1000 traveller. I wonder if they get death watch beetle.. Unsurprisingly it has no current MOT (probly a classic) but the MOT history indicates exactly why MOTs are A Good Idea. Even more inneresting it seems to be used, 6k miles a year in some cases.
Oh good. It's fecking snowing. I thought those clouds looked promising.
"Panic in Year Zero (1962)": that good old Neath boy Ray Milland. It went <click>
