Morning all
The dark clouds from a couple of hours ago that were threatening to move this way have chosen a more northerly route, and so we are back to CBS.

Morning.

Wednesday apparently.

Was dry: now raining.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Black side of grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 20.7 deg, 22 deg in the kitchen, 20 deg in the leanto.

1005.5 mBar, 29.692 in Hg, 754.18 Torr, 14.583 psi, (up from 1004.5 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile onthe 30th of October 2019 WTFH had a phone call from a pimp, NF found it sunny but chilly, and recalled the days when the phone used to ring off the hook with keen & enthusiastic pimps ringing me up. .

Odd dream this morning: something to do with being a POW in the jungle in 1945 and bulldozers falling into sinkholes or something. Quite peculiar. Haven't even been watching World at War to inspire it.

Raining.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked very slowly due to being knackered.

Raining again so I timed that right.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about booking.com whatever the feck that is.

TWATO.

The asbestos talc thing at 13:45.

More cleaning of the junk room. Found some old paper to throw away.

Entertainment: The Mentalist S5 E7, E8.

Tea: the rest of the tinned chilli: still meh but less so due to added chilli powder.

Entertainment: PM <click>

The Mentalist S5 E9, E10, E11. There's someone in this lot that resembles the Chief Autist in many ways. .

Enough of that for today: read book instead.

Morning all

Blue sky with lumps of fluff. A gentle breeze. Currently 21 degrees with a high of 22 forecast. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Just had a very delicious bacon sandwich with the bread fried in the bacon fat, as is right and proper.

[WTFH]

New mower has arrived.
It's bigger, faster, more manoeuvrable, better colour scheme (Orange/Grey rather than Red/Black), and they even delivered it with half a tank of petrol.
Oh, and pile of instruction manuals that total 7cm high when stacked on top of each other.

There's a little bit of drizzle in the air, so I've parked it up in the mower garage.

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a Pukka steak slice

Cloudy and windy out now, as it was foretold

[ladymuck]

A towel wash was done, draped over airers and put outside.

Moments later, the wind got up and it came over all dark so the airer was brought inside.

It didn't rain but I've left it indoors anyway.

[WTFH]

Oh, and pile of instruction manuals that total 7cm high when stacked on top of each other.

The pile of manuals has been whittled down from 28 different languages to 4, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
Page 17 of the English version, and we're not allowed to start the mower yet, but have to download the app.

If I register an account, does this mean Big Lawnmower will monitor my every move? Are they linked to Big Pharma? Will my mower only work in future if I've had all my Covid jabs? Anyone got a 7 3/8ths tinfoil hat?

[NickFitz]

Tea: sweet and sour pork and fried rice

My homemade version may not be as good as from the Chinese, but it's nice enough and it makes a change

[ladymuck]

Someone will hack the app and use your mower to carve crop circles in the local farmers' fields

Sounds like a good reason to use the app to me
