    Morning.

    Thursday judging by the racket the recycling engineers made.

    Dry.

    Grey.

    Wanly sunny.

    Chilly in here at 16.9 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 16.5 deg in the leanto.

    1008 mBar, 29.766223 in Hg, 756.06 Torr, 14.619 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 9th of October 2019 some chap turned up & started washing the front windows when he should have been doing that two doors up, (sudden flash of memory of ladies back in the long ago when sash windows were a thing, sitting on the upstairs windowsill cleaning the outside of the windows), whereas NF had sausages in finger rolls for lunch & his ears had come out in a rash due to the cleanser stuff on his earbuds.

    Raining.

    Freecell score: 100% (of 25), running average: 86%. Seemed to be in the zone today.

    Lunch: beans on toast etc.

    Entertainment: that bottom line thing again, Sliced Bread about ultrasonic repellent devices.

    Veronica Mars S3 E9 "Spit & Eggs". The end of the rapist arc.

    Tea: soup etc.

    Entertainment: PM or Morse, decisions decisions.

    Dan Do (repeat).

    Thing about place names in Cardigan Bay. Portmeirion was visited without mentioning The Prisoner. .

          Afternoon all

          A dull day with a bit of a breeze. The weather app says it's raining but observations with my eyes disagree. Rain is forecast for the rest of the day. Currently 16 degrees and the high was 17. Barometer is down to 1012 mBar.

          My run at ConsultantCo has come to an end, with the contract finishing at the end of the month. Sadly I couldn't wheedle my way in to another team at ClientCo.

              Wondering whether to go shopping in a bit. Viz isn't out until next week, so it's not urgent. But I suppose I could get some other stuff, like bread and meat

                As there's no new Viz to worry about, I went to the closer but barely adequate Sainsbury's, where I only forgot a couple of things because of the layout

                The route home from there doesn't go near the chip shop unless one makes a detour, so I did; but as I was earlier than usual, it was very busy and there was nowhere to park close by. As it had just started raining quite heavily, I took this as a sign and came home instead to have something I've already got

                  Something turned out to be gammon, fried egg, chips, and beans

                  Still rainy out, and looks like it's settled in for the evening

                    One does need to pay for such indulgences
