    Morning denizens

    Patchy cloud out, more patch than not it seems, but very bright when the sun finds one of those gaps. Warm again too: 16°C now, and heading for 24°. The barometers are up again too, at 1009/1017mB

      Morning. .

      Wednesday apparently according to the Lidl(tm) clock.

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Dark.

      Dreary.

      Cool in here at 20.5 deg, 22 in the kitchen, 20.5 in the leanto.

      1015 mBar, 29.973 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (down from 1016 last night), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 25th of October 2019 there was more discussion of "Das Boot" and its various versions, BR14 had a lurgie, maybe he was Patient Zero , and there was discussion of the differences between cardiac arrest and a heart attack, some clown was wittering on the wireless about cashless & cardless society, whereas xogg had found a wasp in his attic & was contemplating the implications of wasp nests etc.

      Drizzle.

      No drizzle.

      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

      Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

      Entertainment: Y&Y.

      TWATO. <click>

      The Mentalist S2 E9, E10.

      Tea: chilli con carne (tinned) etc.

          Afternoon all

          It's been bright but cloudy today with patches of blue here and there. Currently 24 degrees and the high was 26. There's a chance of a shower this evening. Barometer up to 1017 mBar.

          Today I have been working on Service Now and TOGAF BA trainings whilst job hunting.

            Tea: chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

            It's quite gloomy out now. There was a very brief shower or two earlier, and the wind's been getting up since this afternoon

                Tonight's viewing was Hell Jumper on iPlayer. It's a documentary about foreign volunteers who evacuate civilians from front line areas in Ukraine, particularly a young British chap who ended up being killed by the Wagner mob

                Still windy out

                Goodnight all

                  Rather a gloomy grey start, and still windy out there. Mild enough though, being 16°C with a target of 22°. The barometers are back down again, at 999/1007mB

                    Morning all very misty out, but equally warm, so quite unpleasant on the walk.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      Morning.

                      Thursday.

                      Drizzly.

                      Damp.

                      Dreary.

                      Sunless.

                      Grey.

                      Cool in here at 20.3 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 20 deg in the leanto.

                      1005.5 mBar, 29.692 in Hg, 754.2 Torr, 14.583 psi, (down from 1010 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

                      Meanwhile on the 25th of October 2019 there was discussion of English Mustard, wasp's nests in the loft causing damp, 3 frankfurters in a bun with said mustard, and, curiously enough, cardiac arrests and heart attacks.

                      Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the humid grey gloom with added drizzle.

                      Lunch: baked spud etc.

                      Entertainment: The Bottom Line (calm down xogg): waffling on about the good & the bad of this that & the other.

                      Sliced Bread: vacuum cleaners.

                      Some half hearted weeding done: nice pile of stuff to burn when next I get a chance.

                      Leanto, kitchen & living room roughly vacced, more stuff moved than usual & the furniture polish was pressed into action, all this in a vain attempt to reduce the moth population: plainly futile since I just killed another one.

                      Tea: soup etc.

                      Entertainment: PM waffling on to itself.
