    less than 24hrs to wait now, and then (hopefully) i'll have vision restored to my right eye.
    might be able to do 6x6 maps in less than 40 moves then!
    wish me luck?
    6x6 I only do them at 5x5. Absolutely impossible on my mobile phone screen so I have missed out this last week.

    Oh and good luck!

      Shepherds pie for tea

      The dish I make it in results in three good-sized portions, so the last one is now in the freezer

        Lots of Monkey Life this morning, though the Canadian border stuff later was old and largely ignored. This evening I watched the latest episode of Ambulance, and then part one of the C4 thing about Jean Charles de Menezes

        Later, I read a bit more of Lying for Money and also some Jeffrey Bernard

        Monday again tomorrow. Four more weeks till my Christmas break

        Goodnight all

          Morning denizens

          It looked like being a bright sunrise with nice orange hues gilding the eastern sky but by the time the sun had heaved itself over the horizon, the low fingers of cloud stretching across the sky seem to have clumped together a little, so it's fairly bright out but not dazzling. Seems chilly but not frosty, with quite a heavy dew. To be precise, it's 3°C, which isn't expected to rise past 5°, so I think it'll be the coldest day we've had in quite some time. The barometers are tiptoeing down at 1000/1009mB. Oh, and rain is expected this evening and into the night

            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                Morning.

                Monday.

                Damp.

                Dreary.

                Wanly sunny to start, grey & overcast & raining now.

                Chilly in here at 14.5 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

                1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (unchanged), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

                Walk (unabbreviated) walked in sunshine to start, grey & picking with rain at the end.

                Odd dream about red squirrels and house renovation. I wonder what that means.

                Meanwhile on the 2nd of December 2019 there was more discussion of the CUK Cookbook & the sad reason for its creation (RIP doodab, is it really 10 years?), the McMillan giftaid site (now at £1575), whereas I attended a funeral in Morriston crem (presumably MV's mum) and then returned home to chop a branch off the apple tree*. It's a lot easier to get to Morriston crem by car (that trip) than by two buses (last September for my butty's funeral).

                *Never happened due to lack of innerest. .

                Lunch: brunch.

                Entertainment:

                Freecell score: 100%, running average: 80%.

                Read book.

                Tea: soup etc.

                Entertainment: PM. Bit of that pub quiz thing.

                Read book.

                Curse of Oak Island: the blob. More wood. A pipe tamper (for pushing tobacco down in a clay pipe). Some rusty right angled piece of crap. The "Roman" coin from "Iberia". The mysterious well right next to a pond right next to the sea on Lot 26. Reddit reckons it's a karzi.

                An ep of "Sea of Faith" with Donald Cupitt from 1984. Compared with the dross above it was remarkable.

                  Just back from visit to old uni mate. Not too many traffic jams by usual UK motorway standards. Out to dentist shortly. Grrrr.
