And this evening I started reading To Catch a Spy: How the Spycatcher Affair Brought MI5 in from the Cold by Tim Tate, which is hot off the press, having been published two days ago. It promises to cover the whole nonsensical business around HMG and Peter Wright's book in greater detail than any previous account, as lots of official documents and court transcripts that had been kept secret have been released to the archives in recent years

No doubt The Great She Elephant will have a starring role.

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Cool in here at 19.8 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 18.5 deg in the leanto, 16.4 deg in the saltinghouse.

1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.6343 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 2nd of November 2019 NF was washing towels, later reminiscing about Ye Fosse Way and Wot did the Romans do for us? while wondering about the crash by the pedestrian corssing whereas LM was getting wound up by some prog about training pickup artists, and I noted that Kilvey Hill FM came back roughly 12 hours after the Cracke of Doome in the early hours.

There is a phrase or saying: "some poor bastard catches his death at a funeral". . Ho hum.

Morning all

Bright and sunny. A touch of cloud that is set to dissipate as the day progresses. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer remains at 1012 mBar. Gave it a firm tap to make sure it wasn't stuck.

Off to see Mum today and inspect the gardener's handiwork. Down in Sussex by the sea, it looks like it'll be a bit cloudier and a couple of degrees cooler. That's what you get for being on the coast.

Buttered bacon bap (white) for lunch, again

Just remembered I need to do the mundane laundry, so I'd better get that sorted out

[NickFitz]

Mundane laundry done and dried

The gardener had indeed shorn the meadow that was the front lawn and generally tidied up nicely.

Uneventful drive there and back. Tried a new route and I think I've found a winner. Simpler with better traffic flow than the nonsense Google comes up with.

Tea has been bits of the Big Chicken, reheated, with chips and ketchup

Accompanied by the remaining half of an old 24 Hours in A&E that I hadn't finished watching last week, and then another old one as there doesn't seem to be a new one this week

[NickFitz]

This evening, I've been reading some more of To Catch a Spy, covering the early part of Peter Wright's career at MI5 up to the point in 1964 where Anthony Blunt admitted to being a Soviet spy in return for not being prosecuted

Monday again tomorrow. Maybe there'll finally be a decision over the fate of the project

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Wondered if someone had stolen the moon as haven't seen it for a while, so went outside to look last night. It was about full but quite red and dim. Turns out it's due to wild fires across the Atlantic.

Morning denizens

Cloudy start out, or perhaps smoky? Anyway, naught but the wannest of wan sunshine getting through the occasional thinner bit. It's 13°C now and won't get past 21° later, while the barometers are up a little at 1005/1012mB. They haven't got much higher than that for weeks, IIRC

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast and murky here, but not raining.
