Unlike yesterday, I survived today's trip south without being overwhelmed later by utter weariness, which I hope is a good sign. Looking back, my holiday so far seems to have proceeded roughly along these lines:- Disease;
- Disease easing off but wedding in the far north;
- Disease made even worse by the stress of traveling to and from the far north;
- Disease continuing worse due to conveyancing;
- Disease easing off, leading to moving stuff, leading to revenge of disease;
- Moving stuff again, but disease finally at bay.
I therefore decided to rewatch Galaxy Quest (1999). It's excellent
And as Alan Rickman is so good in it, I decided to follow it with his last film (well, he did voice a character in one more but the last one he appeared in): Eye in the Sky (2015) which I think is also excellent but which, as I've said before, no one ever seems to talk about
Meanwhile on Twitter, lots of people I follow seem to be excited about the new series (or season) of Slow Horses, which reminded me that I watched the first few episodes the other year. So I returned to where I left off (S1E5) and once I'd recollected what was going on, it too was very good. So I may carry on with that, now there's some catching up to do; I'd rather be in the position of being several seasons behind than get to the end of what there is and have to wait ages for the rest of it
Goodnight allComment

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.
Bedding out on the line, shirts being dry awaiting the iRon.
Lunch: there was.
Shirts roughly iRoned & airing upstairs.

Tea: soup etc.
The cottons requiring the iRon in off the line & iRoned, airing upstairs.

Finished off "TLGW". Started on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".

A bit cooler earlier, I had a light jacket on over my t-shirt on our perambulation…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Sunny with only minor wisps interrupting the blue. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer has crept up a little to 1027 mBar.
Refuse and food waste bins have been emptied.
The new fourth plinth on Trafalgar Square will be unveiled tomorrow morning. Someone I know has been involved in its creation and I might stroll along at the unveiling time to say hello. The Fail and its average readership will, no doubt, be horrified by it.Comment

Morning denizens
Sunny out with an almost completely clear blue sky, at least from where I'm sitting. Quite mild again too, being 13°C with 19° coming along later. And the barometers are resurgent at 1022/1030mBComment
