Now got it working with a random arrangement of different emojis

No further telly because clearly rings of emojis are a more important way of wasting time. But I did read a few more pages of Julia

Early night now, as I'll probably be woken early by that there sunlight again

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Bright sunny start with a clear blue sky, except for some tiny wisps low on the southwestern horizon. The open sky overnight has let temperatures drop rather, though: only 4°C right now, though creeping up to 10° later, assisted by expected cloud from late morning - though that'll be accompanied by something of a breeze, so the "feels like" score might end up much of a muchness. The barometers are up a bit at 1004/1012mB

Cold but pleasant walk earlier, same distance as yesterday, but 11s per km faster

Dry but picking with rain.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Not sunny.

Overcast.

Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto, 11 deg in the saltinghouse.

1015 and a tad mBar, 29.9788388 in Hg, 761.46 Torr, 14.724 psi, (unchanged), 77% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Trip to Swansea to pay the CC by cheque at the counter which is what I do for the foreseeable future since they pissed me off.

X7 bus down, X5 bus back.

Shopping trip to Morrisons.

Lunch: what I normally have for breakfast since I don't have breakfast before the trips to Swansea.

Meanwhile on the 19th of September 2019 there was much discussion of seeded breads, including Morrisons "The Best" thick cut sunflower & pumpkin seeded variety, while LM was in that Glasgow busily drinking the remains of the bottle of Bailey's that had sat in the fridge since (presumably) the previous Xmas.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the cold wind & increasingly black clouds. It didn't rain on me but by 'eck it was cold out there: scarf & gloves employed today.

Entertainment: Veronica Mars S1 E12 "Clash of the Tritons". The secret society one wherein our heroine is falsely accused of forging driving licenses and ID cards.

Tea: chicken breast, some random sausages, and some bacon etc. Nice enough.

Turned out the bag of flour (BBE Jan 23) had started growing maggots so it's just met the compost heap. Memo to self: buy the small bag next time, it's no saving if it starts living.

What with the toaster and the cat munchies, and the fatballs I found this morning, there's a lot of life around here.

Entertainment: The Mentalist S2 E15 "Red Herring". The poisoned chef one with Calamity Jane out of "Deadwood".

Lunch: pâté on toast

Been quite sunny, but it's clouding over now

Just spotted a couple of magpies going into the foliage of one of the dark green fir trees, next to the light green one that a pair nested in last year. Might be the same pair. I'd assumed they were nesting elsewhere this year, but maybe they've just been very circumspect so I hadn't spotted them before

Afternoon all

Sunny with lumps of fluff hanging about, some grey flecked. A light breeze that isn't disturbing anything. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer up a smidge to 1015 mBar.

Uneventful morning, then had a meeting, then had some soup for lunch, now contemplating what to do this afternoon. I have a dashboard to work on which will keep me occupied; although I might do that tomorrow.

[NickFitz]

Tea: chicken madras with rice and naan

Nice evening out there now, though we did have enough of a shower for a rainbow to make a brief appearance

[NickFitz]

The only telly tonight was the Brighton police thing

On the other hand, my 3D emoji rings now rotate. Might turn them into a fruit machine

And I finished Part One of Julia in which the plot thickens, as plots do

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Sunny start out even though the weather app says "cloudy", though perhaps that means it'll get cloudy later. Open skies leading to chilly starts again though, at 2°C albeit with 12° expected by this afternoon. The barometers are bouncing back at 1011/1019mB

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky with the odd tiny cloud present.

Chilly in here at 12.4 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto, 5.4 deg in the saltinghouse.

1021.5 mBar, 30.164 in Hg, 766.188 Torr, 14.815 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Shirts & smalls in the WM.

Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Cottons in the WM.

Meanwhile on the 19th of September 2019, those halcyon days before the plague, the bus pass site was still down so the library computer room was quiet enough to watch the final ep of "The Mighty Micro" which was made after the sad demise of the original presenter, leading to a number of talking heads, NF found it warmer outside than it had been, whilst SimonMac's client offices were menaced by A Giant Badger, for reasons that remain undisclosed.

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

Washing line broke: not the line itself, rather the ancient bit of galv wire that's been there for decades.

Ho very hum.

At least the grass was dryish. And it wasn't down for long, about 5 minutes before I noticed.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Gap Finders about lady tradespersons, Toast about the demise of Mothercare.

Tried to log on to my yahoo mail: eventually gave up after n capchas and other bollox. Not worth the effort any more.

Got in eventually. Not that there was anything in there of any consequence.

On the old bt email there were rather a lot of emails from pimps, all of which were deleted tout suit, along with shedloads of emails from the IET attempting to get me to vote in some election or other. Took ages to delete all the crap.

And lo! the BBC sounds thingie required reentry of the password & stuff. Just as well I have a vague recollection of doing it all those yonks ago & wrote down the password but not the yahoo email it references. . The piece of paper now includes the yahoo mail reference as well.

The shirts are in off the line & have met the iRon & are now airing upstairs, along with the tea towels and a pillow slip.

Entertainment during the iRoning: The Infinite Monkey Cage S18 "The Immune System" continued from the previous iRoning session, plus part of S18 "The Human Voice".

Veronica Mars S1 E13 "Lord of the Bling": the "kidnapped" daughter of the rapper one.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the cold breeze and grey gloom. It seemed rather colder than this morning.

Everything in off the line & those that needed it met the iRon.

Tea: spag with the rest of that Tesco bol much enhanced by the addition of hot smoked paprika and some chilli powder. It was almost not unpleasant, whether due to the chilli enhancement or the vigorous nuking is difficult to determine. I won't be buying anymore of that from Tesco.

Entertainment: PM.

The Mentalist S2 E16 "Code Red": the escaped virus in the CBW facility one. It must be said that the resulting death seemed quite calm compared with many in such circumstances.

Trucking Hell: S7 E3: repeat.
