Old farty arty thing this morning. Gave an old lady neighbour lift there to see what it's like. Won't be going to me karaoke, too bleedin' tired.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was accompanied by the most recent episode of the Gloucestershire night policing thing

My diligent viewing thereof over four series was finally rewarded by an excellent view of the place where I used to live

It was down to 0°C by the time I finished work today and will dip to -1° overnight, but supposedly it will "feel like" -7°. So exercise has been taken without venturing outside, and I'll be keeping the bedroom window shut tonight

[NickFitz]

Read some more of Lying for Money, about Charles Ponzi and a number of other schemes that went to pot in the same kind of way as his

Quite tired again tonight. I reckon it's the work being so boring that does it - spending all day never really getting started means it's easier to wind all the way down early

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Some bands of low cloud on the horizon but also plenty of clear areas of sky, leading to a chilly start at -1°C. It's going to be sunny, but despite that it's not expected to get any warmer than 2°C. The barometers are up a bit though: 996/1005mB

Wednesday! Already halfway through the week!

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Grey.

Sunless (though the light was really odd earlier).

Wet: lumpy rain, so plainly on the way to sleet.

Cold in here at 12 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto.

1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1006 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still but managed a walk to the viewless point (something I haven't done for years now), whereas LM had salad for lunch (in December ), and covbob observed that it had gone grey despite being sunny earlier, and Brillo said some stuff.

Knee playing up. Must be the weather.

Snow on the hills across the valley.

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

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

Book. Finished book. It didn't end well.

Tea: beans on toast etc.

Entertainment: PM <click>

Freecell score: 55%, running average: 80%: it loves slipping an almost impossible one in to piss me off.

Maigret & the man on the bench: the one with yellow shoes. And a mistress.

Lights are doing a fair amount of flickering this evening.

I wonder if "we" are running short of power, what with it being dark & almost windless. There's a German word for it. . I think it's "Fecked".

[WTFH]

Morning all
Almost went apex going out for our walk this morning, then found that one of our gates had frozen shut so I had to go the long way round the house to get through a different one.
A proper hard frost mean walking on some of the paths was very crunchy.

Now back inside warming up.

morning people

having proper vision back in one eye is great!
just saying, like ;-)

snow here (as in white stuff, not 'sno here' as in 'it's somewhere else')
just waiting for a date to fix the other eye now.
3C (feels like -4C)
King Billy, definitely.

[NickFitz]

Lunch: cajun chicken breast in a wholemeal bap with a bag of plain crisps

Sunny out, but still chilly I reckon

[xoggoth]

Old fart group walk followed by coffee at pub. Apart from me, all old ladies as usual.

Afternoon all

Sunny but very cold. Currently 4 degrees, was -2 when I got up this morning. The high was 6 degrees. Barometer at 1009 mBar.

Busy day, trying to score the next gig, trying to do the current one. Landlady came round to look a the wall being pushed over by a tree.

Off to the theatre this evening.
