Almost got me new PC all set up. Windows 11 seems ok.

Bit grey and damp but wind doesn't seem like anything special. Mind you, fairly sheltered here, never thought the 1987 storm amounted to much until I got to the top of the hill. Need me walky anyway.

Updateypoo
Above comment must have annoyed the wind, got a lot angrier now.

Just remembered that I was working with a developer who I think is about thirty years old last week, and when I said something about how you need to understand octal to change Unix file permissions, he said "What's octal?"

Rarely find anything worth watching on TV but Return to Paradise, yet another spinoff of Death In etc., ain't bad. Gawd, that DI McKenzie Clarke has such a creepy look.

Tea has been a Turkish mixed grill from the place across town

Wind got windier now. Growling down me chimney.

Lots of Monkey Life and other wildlife stuff today, as usual

This evening, I started reading Siegfried Sassoon's The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston - or rereading to start with, as it's three books in one and the first is Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, which I read about thirty years ago. Haven't read the other two though. It's an odd work because although it's fictional, it's really an autobiography with the names changed and various significant elements of his life, such as poetry, omitted. But everything in there also appears in his actual autobiographies

Early night now, ready for more Monkey Life first thing

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Branch down! A bit of one of the tall conifers along the front of the big lawn has come off and is lying at the far side of said lawn

It's still windy and rainy, though not as bad as last night. Fairly mild for the time of year, being 5°C with 7° due later; the barometers are shooting back up at 1008/1016mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
Windy out, but sun is shining. Lawnmower shed roof is still intact, but summerhouse & workshop have lost their felt.
