    Morning denizens

    Quite a sunny start but still very breezy after a blustery night. Already up to 16°C on its way to 23° while the barometers are down a bit at 998/1006mB

    Friday!

    And as I seem to have neglected to record the fact, yesterday's tea was chunky breaded cod with chips and beans, meaning it was quite a day for breaded fish products

      Morning. .

      Friday.

      Bonfire mostly consumed. It would appear there's much gardening to be done since I can only just get into the green house.

      Dry.

      Dampish.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      Cool in here at 20.4 deg, 22 deg in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

      1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1004.5 last night), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 30th of October 2019 there was discussion of making rice pudding in the microwave, mundane washing, when the Rover P4 changed from Whitworth bolts to AF (whatever thread), the fairly mediocre BTVS "Beer Bad", WTFH was having a quiet day with the dog, his Mrs was off on a spa day, while LM was watching Lucy Worsley followed by a prog about weasles, whereas NF was watching something about Lehman Brothers.

      Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

      Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

      Entertainment: some twaddle on the Y&Y spot, TWATO, and the thing about asbestos in talc.

      Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

      The remainder of the box room duly vacced.

      Entertainment: The Mentalist S5 E14.

      Tea: soup etc.

      Entertainment: The Mentalist S5 E15, E16, E17, E18.

      Bits of "The Hitman's Bodyguard".

        Morning all

        Bright and breezy with lumps of fluff scurrying across the sky. Currently 21 degrees with a high of 24 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer down a snifter to 1012 mbar.

        The gardener finally got back to me yesterday and Mum is now booked in for Thursday next week.

They actually showed the exhumation, which isn't something I've seen on telly before - French gravediggers scooping up handfuls of bones and dumping them in a new coffin to be taken to the lab
          That sounds interesting, I'll give that a watch this evening

            A somewhat busy morning delayed me, but I managed a lunchtime dash to the closer Sainsbury's for various bits. That one doesn't have a hot food counter, so lunch instead has been a cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps. I do like a bit of cold roast chicken in warm weather

              Lunch was a bacon and egg sandwich.

              Following NF's discovery of a 7th rasher I thought I'd check to see how many were left in the packet bought from the farmers' market. I too had 7 rashers! Only three left now which will make for a well stacked sandwich.

                After me morning walky went to a local pub and sat in garden gnoshing a cheese toasty. Very fat topless bloke sitting nearby with jeans way down showing me his bum crack. Why is it always blokes who do that??

                  Another week done, so let the weekend commence!

                  I'm heading south for a BBQ tomorrow, with my siblings and also our cousins from our father's side

                      Tea has been a Sainsbury's special offer from last week, being assorted barbecue beef bits: short ribs, brisket, and burnt ends. Nice enough with chips, though those generic BBQ sauces all seem much of a muchness to me

                      It said it served four so I assumed it would serve two, as in one now with one portion left over, but maybe "serves three" is nearer the mark. Plenty to go in the fridge, at any rate

                      And it was accompanied by Trucking Hell
