    Tea was rack of ribs and chips, being the other half of Friday's rack - well, slightly less than half as past me chose to prioritise that meal over this one

    Comment


      Tonight's viewing was the new episode of Ambulance, and an old episode of 24 Hours in A&E - though the latter wasn't that old, as I remembered a couple of the patients

      And then a few more chapters of The Peepshow, in which Christie's attempt to convince the jury that he was insane has failed miserably, and he has thus been sentenced to hang

      Monday again tomorrow. Five more weeks till the start of my Christmas break…

      Goodnight all

        Back in the day, IIRC, a chap from my parents' church was questioned by the plod who thought he was Christie. Long Long Ago.

        Stumbled across this earlier:

        To sum up: FUBAR.

          Morning denizens

          A not-grey start for a change!

          There's still quite a bit of cloud, but enough gaps for a gold and pink show around sunrise. It's expected to clear even more later, leading to colder temperatures tonight.. Currently it's 6°C and aiming for 11°, with the barometers jumping up to 1023/1031mB

            It seems that Christie-spotting was a popular activity across the UK for the few days he was being sought, with sightings reported from all over the place

            Of course, he never actually got any further than Camden

              Morning all
              A busy weekend clearing veg beds, planting garlic, re-planting a hydrangea we had grown from a cutting and planting some spring bulbs in the grass near the quince and apple trees.
              Oh yes, and plating scrambled maps - after reading about it on here.
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                Morning.

                Monday.

                Damp (it rained overnight).

                Wanly sunny.

                High cloud with blue bits rather than gloom gloom gloom.

                Chilly in here at 15.5 deg, 15.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

                1032.5 mBar, 30.489 in Hg, 774.4 Torr, 14.975 psi, (up from 1026 last night). Don't think I've ever seen it that high before.

                Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the chill of the morning.

                Meanwhile on the 30th of November 2019 I was sat next to a mouth breathing moron in the library so buggered off for a walk instead, whereas NF delegated the duplicated post echo thingie, as pointed out by Brillo, to vBulletin. .

                Lunch: brunch.

                Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

                Sun's out: bad finger prevents gardening.

                House roughly vacced for the sake of something to do.

                Freecell score: 86%, running average: 80%.

                Tea: egg sandwiches etc. Just for a change like.

                Entertainment: read book. read other book. Sorted through late mother's recipe collection for dear Niece.

                Oak Island bollox: this week they still ain't found tulip. Who'd have thunk?

                "Secrets in the Sand" more bollox on Blaze: glyph found in Oz: made by some septic or other using GPS rather than Ancient Alien Aborigines. .

                  The Mac Mini has finally arrived!

                  Not that I have time to do anything with it right now; it'll have to stay in its box until this evening

                      Lunch: chicken, tomato and lentil soup with a bit of wholemeal

                      And in the morning post, a letter for the previous owner of the flat

                      She seems to have neglected to inform Carnforth Station Heritage Centre of her move. It's so easy to forget these things
