    Lunch: chicken. tomato and lentil soup (of the herby variety) with a crust or two of wholemeal

    Still grey. Nothing exciting happening on the lawn today, or not that I've seen

      My dreams of that sort tend to involve heavy calibre handguns & rifles, rather than locking doors.

        Spag bol for tea

        That was the last of it out of the freezer, so I need to make some more. I quite fancy making shepherd's pie soon too. Looks like I'll be loading up on mince

          This evening's only viewing was a new episode of Police Interceptors

          And later, I read more of Casino. Almost finished that now

          It's Tuesday night, which means I'm halfway through the week!

          Goodnight all

            Morning.

            Wednesday.

            Kiss Ukraine & NATO bye bye.

            Dry.

            Grey.

            Gloomy.

            Sunless.

            Chilly in here at 15.8 deg, 16 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

            1024 mBar, 30.238 in Hg, 768.1 Torr, 14.85 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

            Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

            Both grandparents' graves duly tidied up a bit: the maternal one needs some attention: the sides & corners are loose & no longer cemented to anything. Then again the last interment was in 1967.

            Lunch: there was brunch.

            Entertainment: there's anything entertaining?

            Weeded my parents' & my brother's grave: there were a lot of weeds.

            I'll try improving the soil a bit then seed some grass so the strimmers will have something proper to strim.

            Freecell score: dire.

            Tea: soup etc.

            Entertainment: there's something entertaining?

            Freecell score: equally dire.

            Read book.

            Freecell score: just as dire.

            Maigret: the one with the abortionist dentist.

              Morning denizens

              Another grey start, and looking a little misty too. Mild again too, being 9°C and expected to reach 14°, with the barometers back up to 1018/1026mB

              Interesting news from across the pond

                Morning all

                Gloomy here, but not quite as gloomy as in Ukraine and Lebanon this morning.

                  Morning all

                  Dull and overcast yet again. Ground was wet when I left the house. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 12 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1031 mBar according to my weather app but I forgot to check my home barometer before I left for the office.

                  Workshop at ClientCo this morning then back home at lunchtime for an interview.

                    My new Mac Mini has shipped from Shenzhen!

                    Current estimated arrival is Monday. That's mildly annoying, as I was hoping to get it on Friday and have the weekend to set it up and have a play

                      Anuvver bleedin' tired day. Ain't done me walk yet.

                      There's a tiny spider abseiling up and down in front of my monitor.
