Lunch: Heinz tomato soup with white toast

In fact, there aren't many other options left which is one of the reasons why I'd like to go to Sainsbury's this afternoon, assuming the occasional waves of tiredness permit

Need to get the new Viz too, as that came out a week ago when I was at the wedding

Busy morning. Was lazing in bed around 9am when the phone rang. I have an interview! Lots of prep therefore ensued while I wait for the date/time to be confirmed. The role focus has been rejigged so I need to make sure I give the right spin to any examples.

Also got a call from the consultancy I was working with earlier this year, asking me if I'd go back on a part time basis. They will have to await the outcome of this interview but it's good to have a back up option.

Good luck!

Afternoon all

Sunny with simpsonesque fluff. A chilly start to the morning (the heating came on). Currently 14 degrees with a high of 15 expected. It might cloud over for a while but no rain is forecast. Barometer up to 1016 mBar.

Sainsbury's has been gone to, so I am now OK for food again

I usually am, but I'd been deliberately running down stocks on the basis that I'd have plenty of time to go shopping and cook stuff once I was on holiday, with vague plans to try a number of new recipes. Being too ill to do so until now meant that I've been left eating mostly the same old stuff in dwindling supply

Anyway, I got the latest Viz which was the most important thing

And on the way, I stopped off at the self storage place. My previous unit was away down a passage towards the rear of the place, whereas the new one is high up at the front, so the way to it from the lift takes one along a glass frontage which offers excellent views right across the city to Charnwood Forest and Bradgate Park beyond. I can see myself dawdling around up there admiring the scenery for a bit whenever I drop a box off

Despite the forecast, a smattering of rain fell. Now there is more on the forecast for this evening.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been that Turkish chicken, potato and tomato tray bake thing. Very nice, but it didn't seem quite the same as last time, though I'd hewed more closely to the recipe. As I recall I added sumac last time, so maybe that's what makes all the difference

We had some torrential rain between about five and six, followed by some less extroverted showers. But we got a nice rainbow for a while by way of a bonus

Another old Traffic Cops was watched

Despite this, it looks like I won't get all the way through S6 before it disappears from My5 tomorrow

Bedtime now as I'm absolutely knackered. But I don't feel particularly unwell, just deeply tired; for which much thanks

Goodnight all

Morning.

Friday.

Sunny. .

Blue sky.

Dry.

Chilly in here at 15.2 deg, 15 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

1024 mBar, 30.238 in Hg, 768 Torr, 14.851 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of November 2019 I'd been to Morrisons to buy some stuff only to forget what I wanted. Apparently it was cheese.

The right arm has now reached the stage where it needs the assistance of the left in order for me to drink my tea. Should I worry? .

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away despite the chaos in town due to the Fair.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Lots of chem trails today.

Lunch: there was.

Jeans, cords, shirts, smalls all in the wash.

Jeans, cords, shirts, smalls all pegged out on the line in the sunshine.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 74%. The mouse on this ancient box is irritating the crap out of me but the laser one doesn't work.

Shirts roughly iRoned & airing upstairs.

Freecell score: 84%, running average: 74%.

Tea: Morrisons breaded haddock etc. I rather fancied some fish so I (over)cooked some.

Entertainment: Due South S1 E0 (pilot), S1 E1. I needed a bit of a change from "The Bridge" and this was it.

If there's anything on freesat I haven't found it yet. Couldn't be arsed with the Ancient Aliens bollox on Blaze yesterday.

Morning denizens

Sunny start out, though it continues to get cooler: only 8°C now, maybe getting to 15° later. The barometers are up though: 1016/1024mB is the highest they've been for a while

I had a good night's sleep and woke feeling quite refreshed rather than seriously diseased, which made a nice change

Still feel somewhat run down though, so it's a shame I need to do physical stuff involving boxes and furniture. I may pop south and see what I can fit in the car today, as I suspect I'll need two trips, though I might get away with one depending on how it all fits, what can be squeezed into gaps in other things, what can be taken to bits first, and so on
