The lurgy is still lurging; sore throat, feeling muzzy. I didn't have a particularly good night's sleep, being plagued by vivid dreams involving peculiar situations, which woke me several times

Sounds remarkably similar to my last couple of lurgies, though both of which required me to get up & take cough mixture during the night. The weird dreams were disturbing, one particularly so.

Morning.

Damp.

Dreary.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 18.8 deg, 20.5 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto.

999.5 mBar, 29.515 in Hg, 749.686 Torr, 14.496 psi, (down from 1003 last night), 79% RH (Lidl electric),83% RH (GDR hair).

Meanwhile on the 10th of November 2019 I cooked a lot, NF cooked stuff, LM was on a plane again coming home from hols, WTFH's Mrs asked him to go out for a walk 3 times, and it was Remembrance Sunday.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom with the rain commencing a third of the way through.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: nothing much.

Switched on an ancient Win98 box for the first time in yonks: it still works (fingers crossed) though the monitor seems fairly unhappy.

Freecell score: 95%, running average: 74%. Obviously haven't played on this box very often.

Heavy rain.

Tea: beans etc.

Entertainment: Kung Fu S1 dvd 3: the side that works.

UFO bollox on DMAX.

The Ancient Dead bollox on Blaze.

Morning all

Still cloudy. Damp. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 19 expected. The sun might make an appearance later this afternoon but there's also a chance of a thunderstorm. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

Last night, well about 2.15 am, there was a big thunderstorm overhead and much rain. Lots of thunder and lightning. I thought it was moving away as the thunder wasn't so close for a while and then a huge crash bang startled me.

Not visiting Mum today but I will give her a call this afternoon.

Lunch: cold sausages in a white bap with red sauce

The expected rainy grey continuation of the day appears to have been cancelled, as it stopped raining and rapidly brightened up by mid-morning and is now sunny and Simpsonesque out there

[ladymuck]

The sun has indeed come out and it's a lovely afternoon. Temperature has reached 22 degrees.

The 2pm thunderstorm was postponed to 4pm and then cancelled.

My bedroom here has a "wardrobe" with sliding mirrored doors taking up one whole end. But within, it's just got a bunch of metal frames with baskets and rails, which are quite rickety and don't really make good use of the space. So I went looking round the IKEA website and found one of their design tool thingies, and have now planned out a bunch of units to go inside that will make much better use of it and generally be nicer

Not going to order them yet though, given I haven't actually checked how I currently use the space. I may need to adjust the number of drawers and so on

Meanwhile, the lurgy continues to not improve, though I don't think it's got any worse

[NickFitz]

Tea has been chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

I was going to have oniony chicken casserole, but there isn't any left. So that'll need to be made again soon

Sounds remarkably similar to my last couple of lurgies, though both of which required me to get up & take cough mixture during the night. The weird dreams were disturbing, one particularly so.

I found them very unpleasant, though I can't remember all of them now. I'm going to remember to take some paracetamol before bed tonight, with the vague hope that it makes them less likely to happen again

[NickFitz]

Lots of Monkey Life this morning

And there was some US borders and Antipodean policing in the afternoon. This evening, a new Saving Lives in Cardiff and then several old 24 Hours in A&Es

Monday tomorrow, but no work!

And maybe the lurgy will be a bit better too

Goodnight all

Meanwhile on the 10th of November 2019 Brillo bag a century, NF stated that he likes paprika in his bol, and vetran fitted a lavatory and was sufficiently unwell to spend 14 hours in bed from 18:00 to 08:00. Well there's a thing.

Good to see it's started the week well.

Just realised that the dream before waking was probably inspired by The Looking Glass War.

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

The annual horse/hiring fair is arriving. I wonder how long it is since horses and hiring were a thing, rather than tat and rides.

Cottons out of the WM and pegged out on the line.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine and bracing breeze.

Shirts in off the line.

Lunch: there was.

Shirts roughly iRoned & airing upstairs.

Smalls in off the line & airing upstairs.

Remaining cottons in off the line & those requiring the iRon met it.

Tea: egg sarnies etc.

Read books.

Meet the Ancestors on BBC4: from 1998. Who'd have thunk it was that long ago?

Oak Island nutjobbery: travel to that England, Royston. Some docs about ships taken as prize. Boring. <click>

Fringe S5 E1: not in the mood: <click>

Kung Fu S1: the one with Chief Dan George: not in the mood: <click>

Looks for other dvds: nothing appeals: <click>
