Tea has been a roast beef dinner

I still don't know what's going on with the freezer that made like Lazarus, but for the past week it's worked perfectly - a tad colder than expected, if anything

The thermometer I have in there is one of those that records maximum and minimum temperatures, and the only time it dipped below its set temperature of -18°C was when I put some stuff in it after shopping, and then it got back down to the correct range within a few hours. I'm still not putting anything that's risky if it thaws out in there, like meat, but it's coping for now with bread, Yorkshire puds, and the like

Loads of Monkey Life seems to have disrupted the rest of the schedule, leading to bits of Australian borders and New Zealand roads policing scattered at random times through the rest of the day

And this evening, as there isn't a new one, a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E

Monday again tomorrow. It may be the day we finally learn the fate of the project, though it also may not be

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Sunny start to what promises to be a hot day: already at 16°C and expected to get to 27° this afternoon as the first salvo in a warm week. The barometers are, perhaps unexpectedly, down a little at 1011/1019mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc. Hot.

Is it nearly the weekend?

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Monday.

Discussion of fava beans on today, next chianti, then liver. .

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Cool in here at 19.9 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 19 deg in the leanto, 16 deg in the saltinghouse.

1015.5 mBar, 29.9876 in Hg, 761.68 Torr, 14.728 psi, (down from 1018 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of October 2019 Farmageddon had proved suitably amusing, NF had some M&S variety of special sausages, and I had some long forgotten bol I found in the freezer compartment of the fridge.

Bedding wash in WM along with a random white shirt.

Out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable heat.

A400M flew down the valley. Must have been going to the beach.

Lots of butterflies today: nearly a dozen small browns, might have been a brimstone, couple of whites, maybe a peacock.

Jeans & cords in the WM.

Jeans & cords out of the WM and pegged out on the line.

3 lawns mown in the unbearable heat, more to mow if the fecking mower decides it will start again.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about countdown timers and wowcher, whatever that is.

TWATO. waffling on about Jnr doctor's pay. Nothing about pay for doctor designers of weapons of mass destruction. Bastards.

The remaining 5 lawns were mown: when the petrol mower flooded I used the electric, then when the petrol mower unflooded I used that.

Defence in depth innit.

Tea: soup: too knackered to bother with anything else.

Even the cold shower wasn't cold enough today. Phew wot a scorcher.

And the backs of my hands are sunburned.

Abandoned "Engineering": TB hospital in Bulgaria, Septic fort in Panama protecting the Canal, some mad bugger's castle in Italy, the chap who invented electrohomeopathy, something else so inneresting that it now completely escapes me.

Entertainment: The Mentalist S3 E7, E8, E9, E10, E11, E12.

Rambo: First Blood.

Links are up (at the second attempt)

Afternoon all

Hot. Blue sky. No cloud. Currently 29 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

A morning of rejection emails. Still, that's better than being ghosted, I guess.

[NickFitz]

Warm, innit

I remembered that among the stuff I've inherited are a couple of those tall fans, so I took one into the study and it makes things a lot more bearable

[NickFitz]

Tea has been KFC leftovers

I was thinking of making spag bol, but couldn't be bothered. I'll have to do it tomorrow though as the mince is out of the freezer

[NickFitz]

Tonight's viewing was the Gloucestershire police night shift thing

Too hot to do anything else. I had a fairly crap night's sleep last night too, probably because it was too warm, so I'm knackered

Goodnight all
