    Morning denizens

    Snow!

    Not a huge amount here; maybe a half-inch to an inch. But it's real, and it's sticking on the cars and lawns and roofs, albeit not to our drive

    It's currently 1°C ("feels like" -5°) with an expected high of 3° for the day, while the barometers are expressing their concern by dropping to 986/994mB. The snow will peter out by nine or ten after which it'll be breezy, with sunny spells towards late afternoon

      Morning all
      Early walk in very blustery conditions, but quite mild. Right coat was worn for the wind and light rain, but totally the wrong one for the warmth (11C)

        Just had 3rd call this morning, some barely comprehensible jabbering about my computer. Why is there no way to send a bomb down a phone line?

        PS That just gave me a great idea for a silly story if the little writing group I'm trying to set up ever gets going. Ta scammer!

          ^^^ An Om for NF.

          Morning.

          Tuesday.

          Wet, very wet.

          Grey.

          Sunless.

          Cold in here at 14.2 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto.

          995 mBar (though it went up from 994 when I tapped it), 29.382 in Hg, 746.3 Torr, 14.43 psi, (down from 996 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

          Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still , the weather was foul here there & everywhere, vetran had more sausages, and I ventured to the library to spread my germs about like a good socialist. .

          No walk today since it's currently pissing down & unlikely to stop any time soon.

            Morning all, Glasgow calling

            Cloudy but with sunny patches. Frosty. Currently 1 degree (feels like -2) with a high of 3 expected. Barometer at 1005 mBar.

            I'm here until 3pm when I head back to the airport to go home. HWMBO left early this morning to head to Amsterdam for work. We will be meeting in Berlin on Friday.

              The snow has stopped and is melting away as silently as it came

                  Lunch: a Pukka sausage roll

                  Very nice, but insufficiently filling. I should have got two

                    Having taken fifteen minutes or so to rearrange some of the junk valuable artefacts in the study, I've managed to liberate the exercise bike from where it's been trapped ever since it was moved over here. So I don't have to go out for a walk for the sake of exercise on what promises to be a very chilly evening

                    I remembered last night that both my cardiac episodes happened in late November during a very cold spell, which helped motivate me. Of course, I was in a very cold flat back then which can't have helped, and this place is much cosier. But you can't be too careful
