Afternoon all

Dull and overcast. Damp. There was a thunderstorm around 0530 that seemed to comprise a couple of lightening flashes and some rumbles and a good while later, rain. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Will remain cloudy all day but no further rain forecast. Barometer down to 1007 mBar.

HWMBO appears to have picked up my cold, just as I'm recovering.

Afternoon denizens

Home again!

The lack of USB outlets in such of the hotel's rooms as I stayed in, combined with my own forgetfulness in the matter of chargers, led to all my sundry devices dying overnight

Anyway, breakfast was nice again, and the bill wasn't too painful; and with those matters settled, it was time for the 150 mile journey home. No stops this time

It's sunny here, and warm too at 24°C with a high of 25° expected shortly. The barometers are either up, down, or steady at 999/1006mB but I don't know which as I wasn't here yesterday

Despite no rain being forecast, rain happened.

HWMBO and I went over to the nether regions of one of the many trading estates near Park Royal to pick up some Mexican ingredients he'd ordered to take back home on Monday.

I have a reasonable parking space secured as a result of the drive. I opted for ease of parking over proximity to my front door.

Apart from an old Traffic Cops whilst dining, I didn't bother watching anything tonight as I'm very tired. It's possible that I'm feeling some lingering effects from drinking champagne and other wines for about eleven hours yesterday

Early night now, and I daresay I'll feel a bit better in the morning

Goodnight all

Morning all
CBS, etc, pleasantly warm.

Hotel breakfast starts at 7:30. I need to leave for the airport at 7:45. Time to get this show on the road.

Morning denizens

Grey and overcast start to the day, with even a hint of fog in the air. Rather mild with it though: already 17°C, reaching 22° later. The barometers are about the same at 999/1007mB

Vague feelings of lurginess this morning, which I imagine is the same one as early in the week. I suppose I didn't notice it quite as much when I was busy, but it's also had the opportunity to marshal its forces due to my condition being weakened by booze, fatigue, and the stress of having to socialise

Mind you, it's also possible I caught something else while there! Covid test is still negative, so it's probably not that

Morning.

Saturday apparently.

Damp.

Dreary.

Grey.

Misty.

Cool in here at 18.9 deg, 20 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

1005.5 mBar, 29.692 in Hg, 754.18 Torr, 14.583 psi, (unchanged but a tad), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 9th of November 2019 NF went to the Chinese and was disturbed to find two other people waiting for their orders, one of whom broke into conversation, this always being disturbing, though the meal was very nice, much BTVS and Angel were watched, along with bits of MI and The Wire, and some obscure Chinese film had a mention.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the greyish gloom.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: more Kung Fu S1 dvd 1: at least this dvd played, dvd 2 & 3 not so fecking much, even after the toothpaste treatment.

More gardening: I hacked some of the accursed honeysuckle off the forsythia and the other two bushes: the pile of stuff to burn is now enormous.

Fringe S4 E22. Finally got to the end of this. At least it played.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: more irritating Kung Fu S1: one side of the dvd plays, the other has problems. Which is Really Irritating. Especially since I paid £12 for this. In 2009.
