    This morning saw the usual glut of Monkey Life

    This afternoon, the Canadian and NZ stuff was all things that have been repeated ad nauseam, so I spent some time mucking about with SwiftUI and Bluesky again

    And this evening, as well as more Swift bits, an old 24 Hours in A&E

    Monday again tomorrow. Only two more weeks, or eight days, to go till I finish for the year…

    Goodnight all

      Morning denizens

      Patchy cloud out, tending more towards cloud, leading to a refulgent red-gold dawn. It's expected to remain cloudy, but no rain is expected. Currently 7°C (but "feels like" 2°) with a possible high of 10°, and the barometers are down a bit more to 997/1005mB

        Morning all
        A bit of drizzle on the walk earlier, then it cleared up and while the sun is shining, there's also menacing clouds to the north and west.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Morning.

          Monday.

          Dry.

          Sunny.

          Blue sky in parts.

          Chilly in here at 14.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

          1010.5 mBar, 29.84 in Hg, 757.9373 Torr, 14.656 psi, (up from 1007 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

          This morning's dream before waking involved designing something with a microcontroller, losing the databook, then wandering around a park where the paths were being raked. Really odd. Another nightmare job.

          Meanwhile on the 6th of December 2019 I was still after the 's flu jab, it was generally wet as indicated by WTFH's filthy dog walk, BR14 was woken early by someone starting a compressor & an angle grinder next door at the inconsiderate time of 08:30, and covbob celebrated the deluge, with LM having a slight rant at her then current client, no doubt brought on by being woken by "Today" & having to get out of bed to turn it off, whereas NF discovered that his dental appointment was in December rather than the January he'd expected. I hate it when that happens.

          Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Plenty of Glengettie tea today.

          Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine: timed to a tee since it's raining now.

          Lunch: brunch.

          Entertainment: Y&Y. TWATO, much whining about triggering women. . FFS.

          Freecell score in the grey gloom: 85%, running average: 80%.

          Tea: chilli con carne (tinned, Morrisons saver), better than some I've tried, etc.

          Entertainment: Nazi Hunter thing: commandant of Treblinka.

          Paul Sinha's pub quiz thing.

          Thing about the Bronze Age Apocalypse: what happened to all the civilisations that disappeared about 1200 BC? Er, maybe part II will inform us.

          Oak Island nutjobbery: down the hole they go. A snuff movie would make a pleasant & entertaining change.

          And this week we ain't found tulip Gary finds some weird bobby dazzler that makes him cream his jeans despite what looks like a lump of red plastic stuck through it, and two of them finally go down the garden shaft to look at... more mud. And bits of wood, and planks and stuff.

            Morning all

            Dull but there's gaps in the clouds. Damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 10 expected. The gaps in the clouds may become more pronounced as the day progresses although it'll never quite reach "sunny" status. Barometer steady at 1012 mBar.

            Three coffees had so far.

                  Darn it! Me little van failed the MOT. Hopefully will all be repaired today. Nice local walk but woods I used to wander in all fenced off now. B***ds!

                  Coffee looked/tasted bit odd this morning. I'd dropped a tea bag in the kettle. Or was it the evil spirit again?

                    More KFC leftovers for lunch

                    Turned a bit drizzly off and on here, which was not forecast

                      Funny. Had a rotten nights sleep last night and not tired at all today. Yesterday felt tired after a good night.

                      Think everything one reads about health is rubbish. Going to stop sleeping and just lie about all day and live on a diet of alcohol and cyanide. Should live to be 120.
