    . Someone always catches his death at a funeral.

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Horrendous night's sleep. .

    Had to put the electric blanket back on the bed to control the violent shivering.

    Dry, currently.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Cool in here at 19.5 deg.

    1009.5 mBar, 29.81 in Hg, 757.18 Torr, 14.64 psi (1012 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 3rd of November 2019 I ventured as far as the viewless point, and NF had toasted muffin and a nice mug of tea.

    No breakfast other than tea.

    Entertainment: The Good Place S2 E7, E8, E9. E10, E11, E12, E13.

    No lunch other than tea.

    Entertainment: The Good Place S3 E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8.

    Tea: scrambled egg.

    Entertainment: The Good Place S3 E9, E10, E11, E12, E13.

    I have no recollection of any of S3. I wonder if it was ever broadcast on E4 back in the day.

        Lunch for a cloudy day: Heinz tomato soup and white toast

          Afternoon all

          Cloudy, dull, a light breeze. Currently 20 degrees with the high of 21 still to come apparently. Feels a lot chillier than the temp would have you believe. No rain forecast but I have a hunch there'll be a shower of some sort, judging by the grey in the clouds. Barometer is up a bit to 1013 mBar.

          This morning I have been doing my year end accounts and Q4 VAT return.

            Getting quite windy here - currently 18mph with gusts up to 31mph

            There was supposed to be a shower earlier, but no discernible rain resulted. Chance of some more later though.

            No news on the fate of the project because the senior person who will inform us wasn't in today, and the other senior folk who might know have been maintaining radio silence

            So we all have to continue doing stuff as if there's a point to it, though there almost certainly isn't

                I was going to read some more of the book about Spycatcher, but I got distracted by some Swift stuff I've been playing with and got that working instead

                Getting very windy out now, and blowing directly at my bedroom. I may shut the window so the blind doesn't fly off and smother me as I sleep

                Goodnight all

                  Morning denizens

                  Sunny start, but with patchy cloud and still quite breezy. Already at 16°C but not getting any higher than 20°, while the barometers are down again at 995/1002mB

                    Morning.

                    Tuesday apparently, though the Lidl(tm) clock is convinced it's Monday with the moon half full.

                    Still .

                    Wet.

                    Dark.

                    Dank.

                    Dreary.

                    Sunless

                    Cool in here at 19.7 deg, 20.5 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

                    1003.5 mBar, 29.63333 in Hg, 752.6868 Torr, 14.5545 psi, (up from 1003 last night), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Meanwhile on the 3rd of November 2019 there was discussion of crumpets, pikelets, and scrambled egg, while LM attended two church services, one on R4, the other in person at a christening, whereas I was watching yet more BTVS as is only right & proper.

                    Lunch: breakfast.

                    Entertainment: The Good Place: remainder of S3. S4.

                    Tea: soup etc.

                    Entertainment: Sledge Hammer S1 E1 to E6. Mildly amusing.

                    Bit of "Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017)".

                    Bit of "A month of Sundays (1989)" aka "Age old Friends": the joys of living in a nursing home.
