Afternoon.
Friday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny ealier, grey now.
Chilly in here at 13.6 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto, 7.8 deg in the saltinghouse.
1014 mBar, 29.9434 in Hg, 760.56 Torr, 14.706 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 8th of December 2019 NF was singularly unimpressed with "Octopussy" and turned it off after 20 mins in favour of more "The Wire S4", whereas I was busily coughing my lungs up at about the same time having found it necessary to get up & take two different cough mixtures and some Gran Marnier in an attempt to return to the land of nod, this being suspiciously close to the advent of the chinese bat plague on reflection
. LM was down south somewhere being Auntie LM to her oldest friend's kids, amid discussions of her Nan.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine, during which the two plod wagons that hared up the road earlier were discovered parked next to the gate of the reservoir. Asked a chap WTF was going on but he refused to say.
On my return I bagged up more of the garden detritus and stuck it all in the greenhouse to dry out a bit, ready for the next bonfire, whenever that transpires.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Nazi Hunters: about the Jewish plans A & B to poison Nazis in 1945/46. Plan A (to poison 6 million Germans) abandoned, Plan B (to poison 6000 SS inmates in a prison camp with bread laced with arsenic): worked, though the US Army busily pumped their stomachs so none of them died. Never heard of either of those plans before.

It's getting darker.
Doing its best to rain a little.
Freecell score: 100%, running average: 80%.
World's Greatest Warbirds on That's TV.
Nazi Hunters: Operation Anthropoid: so many others died so that one man could be killed.
Tea: chilli con carne (tinned, 2nd portion) with pillau rice etc.: much nicer this time.
Much flickering of the lights earlier: and a proper dip that really upset the dehumidifier.
5: 2nd part of the Dalgliesh thing.
5Action: Motorway: hell on the highway. (desperation setting in).
