Another day done. I thought that I'd get to help out some other guys on something which, though possibly not hugely interesting, would at least keep me occupied. But the chaps who needed to tell me what it was about and what needed doing etc. got bogged down on some big problem, during which they weren't responding to any messages. Then the consultancy that the rest of them are with had one of their meetings. So in the end, I didn't have anything to do until mid-afternoon when one of them was finally able to get me helping with something
I read some more of Shepperton Babylon covering the exploitation films (skin flicks, often horror ones, to you and me) of the 1960s and 1970s, culminating in The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
I'm feeling a bit under the weather again; headache, runny nose. I always seem to get this kind of thing at the start of the week, presumably because I go to places containing other human beings on Friday. With luck it'll be a mild one
Dark, sun is not yet ris. Cloudy and dry. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 7 expected. Barometer up to 1021 mBar.
Do not adjust your set, the end of the world is not yet nigh. Up early to drive down to NATS near Fareham. Heard there's freezing fog in some parts of the UK. Here's hoping it's not along the M3.
Fairly cloudy start out, maybe getting cloudier later and then reverting. It's 2°C at the moment, with a balmy 6° expected for a short period mid-afternoon. The barometers are bouncing back at 1010/1019mB
Seven working days to go this year, including this one
Chilly in here at 13.6 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto.
1018 mBar, 30.06 in Hg, 763.56 Torr, 14.764 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Met the birdwatcher chap from Port Talbot. Haven't seen him for over a year. Was beginning to think he'd popped his clogs, but he looks fit enough.
Meanwhile on the 6th of December 2019 covbob was babysitting his daughter, whereas I was still recovering from the 's flu jab with added sharkness this causing the uncontrollable shivering of the previous evening, WTFH was paying off his mortgage, and NF was going shopping.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling about recycling & wheelie bins. Apparently Swansea doesn't have wheelie bins.
I'm expecting a delivery via DPD today. Just checked the map and the driver is just down the road, about fifty yards away. Despite this, he's apparently on delivery 48 and I'm delivery 111. I assume their algorithm has its reasons but it would literally take him three minutes or less to walk here, drop it off, and walk back to the van
