    There has been much rain this afternoon and evening. I drove HWMBO to Heathrow as he's taking an extra case up with him filled with my clothes ahead of our holiday at the end of June. Just in case I end up with my life packed in boxed in a storage unit, at least I know I have something to wear in Barbados.

      I watched the second part of the cold case thing earlier

      And some time was spent mucking around with SceneKit, again

      Then, in the continuing mission to have as many books being read at the same time as possible, I started reading Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany by Norman Ohler. Having invented methamphetamine, they then sold it without prescription, including boxes of chocolates containing 14mg of meth each. These were aimed particularly at housewives, who were advised to eat three to nine of them at a go so as to make undertaking the housework easier

      Goodnight all

          Morning.

          Meanwhile on the 1st of October 2019, there were blue skies for LM, whereas WTFH was waiting for the deluge to abate before going for a walk, it was grey for NF, and I managed to walk down to town & back without opening the brolly, while WTFH was caught in a downpour & got his dressings wet.

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

          Lunch: Scrambled egg etc.

            Morning all

            Raining off and on and in varying levels of wetness. At the moment it's that fine 'mizzle' type that looks like nothing but gets you very soggy, very quickly. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Barometer down to 1006 mBar.

            Most effort this morning has been spent on job hunting and flat hunting. The former has been fruitless and the latter has been mostly about what I can compromise on. I have a load of viewings booked in for tomorrow and there's one this lunchtime too.

              'Afternoon all.

              Poppin' in to doff my cap and scrounge some gen from the assembled masses.

              Been a while. Hope all well. Will pop back soonish... I know; you can't wait.

              Laters...

                Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

                When I cooked these cutlets the other night, I sprinkled some harissa spice on them, mainly because I was wondering if that would go well with pork, which it did. I'd forgotten about this, and the added flavour was a very nice surprise when I took my first mouthful

                    Here's a thing I learned today. The first three numbers on a diplomatic license plate means something:
