Tonight's major motion picture was War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) which is, of course, excellent. And with the trilogy rewatched, I am able to embark upon the new one, sure in the knowledge that the back story is clear in my memory
And then S6E2 of The Wire
Still not feeling 100%, so I'm not sure I'll be heading south tomorrow. It occurred to me that the new owners have accepted our offer to leave the conservatory furniture for them, so any bits I want can be stored in the conservatory as the clearance people shouldn't be going in there anyway. That makes getting stuff slightly less urgent, though I still need to pop down and get some of it and put the rest in there. It means it's less of a rush job though, so I'll probably go down either Sunday or Monday - they won't start clearing stuff until Monday afternoon anyway
Meanwhile on the 13th of November 2019 WTFH was off to the dentist, I was in with the hoi polloi in the old Library computer room expecting it to be raining by the time I left, whereas NF was watching "Edge of Darkness (BBC version)".
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Warmer than yesterday.
Lunch: there was.
Entertainment: Moneybox, The News Quiz.
Read bits of assorted books: mostly the one about David Douglas, he of fir tree fame. Turns out he died at the age of 34 by falling into a bull pit on Hawaii, blind in one eye & partially sighted in the other.
Sunny again, occasional wisps of fluff here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 19. Barometer up a smidge to 1027 mBar.
A chap came to look at the guttering and cleared a load of junk out of it. Also mentioned there were some minor issues that needed fixing, brackets and such, which my landlady and the lad upstairs need to agree to between them.
Popped to the farmers' market. Usual suspects there. Picked up some tomatoes and goats cheese. Also got some black pudding and tomato sausages from the Grasmere butcher stall. They are very tasty and I have become a bit addicted to them.
Lovely morning out there, perfect temperature, so I have come back indoors.

Patch cloud and sunny spells out, overall more scenic than gloomy. A bit milder again too: 16°C with an expected high of 19°, with the barometers up a touch to 1017/1025mB
Today saw lots of Monkey Life, in which Oshine, the orangutan due to come from South Africa, made her first appearance; and later, assorted other wildlife things
Not much done other than that, though I knocked together a quick and, so far, untested implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm for the maze stuff
Early night now: there's more Monkey Life first thing and as soon as that's done, I have to drive south to collect stuff
Cool in here at 15.8 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.
1022 mBar, 30.18 in Hg, 766.56 Torr, 14.8228 psi, (down from 1023 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 13th of November 2019 WTFH went to the dentist for the first time in a decade, NF consumed a sausage roll, LM had a jacket spud, and Morrisons had changed the tills to those unergonomic crap things that are there even yet.
