      Morning all

      Gloriously sunny morning with only a few wisps and chemtrails breaking up the blue. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There might be some rain in the wee hours overnight. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.

      Just having a cuppa before heading down to see Mum. Apparently on Friday she turned the heating thermostat down and then complained the radiators weren't getting hot. My brother put the thermostat back up and she's now back in tropical levels of warmth.

        Morning all
        Someone forgot to tell Max the clocks were going back.
        Misty walk on very dewy ground, but pleasant none-the-less

          Early lunch, although it isn't really, of reheated KFC hot wings and popcorn chicken with ketchup

          People forget that the extra hour from the clocks changing means lunchtime happens later, so if you're feeling peckish "earlier" than usual, that'll be why

            Done a bit of mucking around with the forum, trying to work out why it can't use memcached for cacheing, which I'm hoping will ease the pressure on the database and make things run a bit more smoothly. Turns out vBulletin requires an old memcached PHP library, and the server is only configured with a more recent one. So I've had to ping the people who run the servers with instructions for how to add the missing library

              Took Mum to big Tesco. My brother and I made an executive decision to replace her boiler, which he's going to organise.

                  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).

                    No further telly tonight, but I read some more of Falling

                    It's turned windy and just started raining here. Going to carry on that way for a while, it seems

                    Monday again tomorrow

                    Goodnight all

                      Morning denizens

                      Grey and windy start after a rainy night. The insulating layers of cloud are working though: already 12°C and expected to reach 16°. The barometers are back down a little to 1006/1014mB

                      Monday again. Just got to make it through seven more weeks before I start my extended Christmas and New Year break
