Afternoon all

There is blue sky and high level wispy fluff. Currently 12 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1031 mBar.

I clock off in about an hour to travel to the airport for a trip to Glasgow.

Bon voyage!

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

I still get letters for the woman I bought the house off 26 years ago: from some septic god bothers in California.

And I get letters for her next door but two, but I like her so there's no problem.

And there was a letter for someone named Smithers that I returned "not known".

Plus the council tax demand for some oik who used to live by the chip shop, but I sorted that one with the council before the debt collectors started calling.

Send it to Matt Groening, he'll know.

Greetings from the new Mac Mini!

It's really rather good! I've just got it hooked up to the telly at the moment, which is suboptimal as if I have the glasses on that let me see the screen, I can't see the keyboard, and vice versa. But I installed Xcode and cloned the Git repo for my thing that makes 3D rings of emojis, and it both compiles and launches noticeably faster

Tea has been beef and Guinness stew

This was accompanied by E1 of Lucan which was very intriguing, having an angle on the case of the disappearing earl that I didn't expect

And before that, I found time to go for a walk

Checked me netting is in place over pond to keep leaves out. Lovely little froggy sitting there.

In The Peepshow, Christie has been hanged, and public opinion is shifting towards the view that Tim Evans was wrongly executed - to the dismay of the Conservative government, which seems to be more concerned that admitting a mistake might bolster support for abolition of the death penalty than it is with righting a miscarriage of justice

Tuesday tomorrow. Get through it and I'm halfway through the week

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Similarly to yesterday, there's less cloud and more opportunities for sunshine today, though the cloud seems to have closed up a little to the east in time to prevent a dazzling sunrise. It's 5°C and won't get any higher than 10°, possibly presaging colder weather due to the open skies. The barometers are riding high though, being 1026/1034mB
