      The walk has been walked - a rather short one, as I was sweating like a ... actually, most of the analogies I might use would be highly inappropriate... sweating like a very sweaty thing at the world sweaty contest.

        Morning denizens

        Sunny start again. By dint of opening windows, I slept a bit better. There's also a very light breeze this morning which has already got the living room temperature down to 24° in the space of half-an-hour or so via the small side window, it being 17°C out there with a predicted high of 27°. The barometers are down again though, at 1006/1014mB

          Morning.

          Tuesday.

          Dry.

          Sunny.

          Blue sky.

          Coolish in here at 21.1 deg, 23 deg in the kitchen, 21 deg in the leanto.

          1012 mBar, 29.884343 in Hg, 759.06 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (unchanged), 72% RH (Lidl electric).

          Meanwhile on the 27th of October 2019 it was getting cold with much condensation on the bedroom window, whereas I had watched BTVS "Dopplegangland", NF had watched much of MI, to whit: III & IV, and it transpired that it was clock changing frenzy day again, LM was taking a train an hour earlier than the one she'd booked, and NF also found it chilly.

          Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable heat of the day: remembered the sunblock today.

          Lunch: beans on toast etc.

          Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about cash, 60% of bank branches having closed, looks like D. Adams opinion on the Galactibanks is coming to Earth.

          Some poor sod drives from Brecon to Cheltenham to withdraw cash from Barclays.

          The Mentalist S3 E13, E14, E15.

          Tea: chicken in white sauce etc.

          Entertainment: PM. 18 o'clock news <click> enough of that.

          Scotland Yard: The crossroads gallows: the nasty German ex POW blackmailer.

            Lunch: pâté on toast

            Not getting any cooler but there's still occasional traces of a breeze coming through the front windows

              Afternoon all

              Hot. Sunny. No cloud. Currently 31 degrees with a high of 32, which is lower than the high of 34 I saw when I looked at my weather app this morning. Barometer is down to 1015 mBar.

              Last night HWMBO and I watched Blade II (2002). HWMBO realised he'd never seen it before.

              Today I was supposed to pop some extra bits over to storage and take out a drawer unit that I can now fit in and could do with using. However, after a very uncomfortable night's sleep, I decided that I couldn't be bothered. I feel it was a wise decision to not be lugging about boxes in this weather.

              Applications for any sort of role continues, no bites yet.

                Tell me about it - I have 2 roles ready to go but both are in holding patterns...
                merely at clientco for the entertainment

                  As foretold yesterday, tea has been spag bol. In fact, I took a little time out this afternoon to get the bol on the go so it had about four hours on a gentle simmer, which developed the flavours very nicely

                  And that was accompanied by Secrets of the London Underground which had a good segment on the Brunels' original Thames tunnel

                    Only Wednesday tomorrow? Heavy sigh…

                    Very warm in here tonight - about 26°C in the bedroom, and the very light breeze is coming from the other side of the building so leaving the window open hasn't helped much

                    Goodnight all

                      Too. Damn. Hot.

                      This evening's entertainment has been the last of the Blade trilogy, Blade Trinity (2004). This one features a very baby faced Ryan Reynolds who displays the same wise-cracking attitude he brings to all his other roles that he's now more popularly known for.

                      Apparently, there will be a new Blade fillum next year as part of MCU Phase 6.
