    Morning all
    Blue skies, sunshine, very humid. Glad to be back at my desk to recover from the weekend.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Morning.

      Monday.

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Cloudy.

      Misty enough to conceal the mountains across the way.

      Sunless.

      Warm in here at 21.8 deg, 24 deg in the kitchen, 22 in the leanto.

      1001.5 mBar, 29.574 in Hg, 751.18 Torr, 14.5255 psi, (down from 1004 last night), 77% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 31st of October 2019 xogg was buying sweeties in case trick or treat happened, LM was watching a thing about castles the Norman English invading bastards built in Wales, whereas NF was watching yet more "I, Claudius".

      Walk (unabbreviated) walked. Very close but cooler than yesterday by far.

      Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

      Tea: soup etc.

        Morning all

        Sunny, a mix of wispy and lumpy cloud but plenty of blue sky about. Currently 24 degrees with a high of 32 expected . Barometer down to 1007 mBar.

        Bed stripped and is airing, with the first load in the WM. The whites and cottons cycles don't work with the time saver option, I notice.

        Today's task: more fruitless gig searching. Maybe I should search for a fruit-based gig.

            It's warm out! First load of bed linen is out in the garden draped over airers. At some point I will figure out how to put up a washing line.

            I need to go to the post office and pick up a few things from the shops. I have been trying to work out which items to get from which shop in order to pay the least. Tesco and Morrisons are a bus ride away and Sainsbury's and Lidl are around the corner. This feels like multiple trips required to get everything.

              Thunder!

                Lunch: ham toasties

                Not a huge thunderstorm, and it's moved on towards Melton Mowbray now

                  Gotta say, despite the heat, it's great drying weather. Load 1 of bed linen was dry by the time load 2 was washed.

                      Tea: sausages, chips and beans

                      The air conditioner is doing a good job of keeping the living room at a tolerable temperature this evening
