    Luch was half of Pizza I brought home from restaurant in doggy bag. No way I could eat all that, it was supposed to be a lite portion. Sister ordered kid's portion of fish and chips and the fish looked like a beached whale. No wonder so many people are obese!

      Much brouhaha down on the lawn where one of the squirrels is having a barney with the two crows, while an innocent pigeon gets caught in the crossfire - well, cross scampering

      No idea what's happened to get them riled up, but neither the squirrel nor the crows seem willing to back down. It's been going on for about ten minutes now

        You should set up a FitzCam and live stream the shenanigans, perhaps with live commentary like wot Big Jet TV does

            I have thought about that, but I'm not sure what the neighbours would think about having a camera trained on them, with their comings and goings streamed to the world

              With The Wife away, this morning Max and I went for a walk. Came back in, hung up the washing and went for a walk.
              Walked 6km to a hostelry, consumed some of the guest ale (Exeter Avocet), then walked back home.

                Tea was brought to me from KFC

                The additional stuff from the perennial special offers means I'll probably be eating the leftovers for a couple of days

                  Today's entertainment was the usual Monkey Life plus other wildlife stuff. It's all kicking off between the various otter clans of Singapore

                  And I've read a few more chapters of Falling. Some good twists in the tale

                  Early night plus the clocks going back means I can have a lie in and still be up in time for tomorrow's early Monkey Life session

                  Goodnight all

                    Morning.

                    Sunday.

                    The clocks went back an hour at 02:00 just to screw up everyone's body clock.

                    Dry.

                    Sunny.

                    Blue sky.

                    Chilly in here at 15.9 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

                    1018 mBar, 30.06 in Hg, 763.56 Torr, 14.76 psi, (up fro 1011 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Freecell score: 75%, running average: 79%.

                    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.

                    Lunch: there was brunch.

                    More gardening: the pile of crap for incineration gets ever larger.

                    Getting dark earlier now. .

                    Tea: beans on toast etc.

                    Entertainment: some bolloxy poetry thing on R4.

                    NZ Highway Patrol: S1 E4: the one with the nutter with a meth lab in the boot of his car.

                    Some bollox or other on Blaze: "watching" being a considerable exaggeration.

                    "The Final Appointment (1954)" with Sam Kydd and Arthur Lowe (the latter in a bit part).

                      Sunny day out and expected to continue thus, though getting dark an hour earlier according to the arbitrary and capricious temporal labelling conventions presently in use. The open skies are letting the heat escape though: currently 8°C and only reaching 13°. The barometers are up a chunk at 1010/1018mB
