Bacon bap for lunch, as the bacon needed finishing off - and lo! the pack of six contained a hidden seventh rasher, making for a very well stuffed bap indeed!

Afternoon all
Sunny with occasional lumps of fluff interrupting the blue sky. A nice breeze is wafting in the window. Currently 24 degrees with a high of 25 expected. Barometer at 1012 mBar.
This morning I checked out the front and all the boxes had gone!
That is, so far, the only positive of the day. The fruitless search for work continues.Comment

Ambled round to the chemist's for the monthly drugs. It's warm out, but not intolerably so. Been cloudy since mid-morning and there was quite a strong breeze, judging by the trees, but that seems to have died down a bit now

I discovered two new (to me) episodes of Trucking Hell series 8 which appears to have restarted airing on 25 July.Comment

Tea has been Nando's leftovers
Accompanied by an old Police Interceptors - but not old enough, as I remembered the bit at the end with a van stuck under a road sign, so I need to find even older ones

Getting windy out by the sound of things
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Grey start, and damp too after some overnight rain. No more of that is expected but it'll be a mild one for August, being 17°C now but not getting any warmer than 22°. The barometers are down a bit at 996/1004mB
Bin Day today, and I believe one or other of the wagons has just arrived

Morning all
Walk has been walked.
Overnight rain has done a good job of topping up the water butts and giving the plants a perk. Not so great if you're expecting delivery of a new mower and have left half the lawn to cut.
Awaiting delivery of coffee (ordered yesterday) and a mower. Did I mention I'd ordered a new mower? Last time I bought a new one, it was electric, probably cost about £40 in 2002. The more recent purchases have all been second hand.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning.
Tuesday.
One might observe that the existence of Trucking Hell S8 E11 & E12 was mentioned previously.
.
I'd have mentioned the arrival of "new" car fixer programmes if I hadn't stopped watching it due to the fat git.
Dry.
Blue sky.
Cool in here at 20.7 deg, 22.5 deg in the kitchen (once I'd put the battery back in the thermometer), 20 deg in the leanto.
1003.75 mBar, 29.64 in Hg, 752.87 Torr, 14.558 psi, (up from 1002.5 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 29th of October 2019 there was discussion of BTVS being fiction, the BTVS/Angel crossover complexities, Dr Pimple Popper, Bakeoff, and NF had ribs for tea.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in wan sunshine, enlivened by the A400M which did a low half circle over Neath & then buggered off back up the valley. Couldn't find it on FR24 by the time I'd got back home.
Lunch: baked spud(s) etc.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about exercise.
TWATO.
Thing about asbestos in talc at 13:45. There's six kinds of asbestos. Only one of them is a pretty blue colour (or color).
More cleaning in theofficejunk room. Almost done, though I am wondering if that bookcase could do with a bit more under one end of it to even it up.
Entertainment: The Mentalist S5 E2: the one where he hallucinates seeing his daughter all grown up after taking some "tea" by mistake.
The Mentalist S5 E3. Bank job. Not very inneresting.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: Scotland Yard.
The Mentalist S5 E4, E5, E6.
Bits of "Come home to a real fire, buy a cottage in Wales".
Bits of "Nobody". I like that film for some reason.
