    Morning

    must be
    It IS getting better though, so that's something.
    however, despite these challenges: Sharypovo, Russian Federation in 31 moves! (6 x 6 map)

      Morning all

      It started off sunny but is rapidly clouding over. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast from mid afternoon onwards. Barometer at 1024 mBar.

      Yesterday was much the same. The rain started just as HWMBO and I finished putting a load of stuff into my storage unit and I just got a bit damp and windswept on the walk home from dropping off the zipvan.

      HWMBO goes home today and I am supposed to be working but have realised I need to buy three gifts before I drive down to Sussex tomorrow.

        Morning Afternoon all.

        Monday.

        Dry.

        Grey.

        Wanly sunny if you use some imagination.

        Calm. Windless (aside from me).

        Chilly in here at 11.9 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto.

        1022 mBar, 30.18 in Hg, 766.56 Torr, 14.8228 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 13th of December 2019 WTFH was packing prior to going on his hols, BR14 popped in, according to LM there was A Storm Coming, while according to me The Future Was Not Written, DaveB recommended the AK, whereas I preferred the more concealable Glock (nasty plastic thing).

        Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

        Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey. Knackered now.

          The new La-Z-Boy recliner has been delivered!

          Interestingly (for certain values of interesting), it's three years and one day since the much cheaper recliner from Wayfair was delivered to the old place. That was dropped at the front door and had to be unpacked in the hall then brought upstairs by myself. IIRC it arrived at about seven in the morning too, so I had to get it done before other residents of the property wanted to do things like come out of their flats

          Anyway, it hasn't aged well, with the release cable having had to be replaced not long after I moved here, and large and spreading cracks starting to appear in the pleather

          The new one is, frankly, huge; I need to rearrange the living room a bit so I can get past it when it's pointed towards the telly, which it will be. For now it's towards the back of the room while I ensure the space is ready for it

          At least the old one was delivered in two pieces, but the new one came assembled, and the delivery chaps made an effort at getting it in that way. I knew that was never going to work; I'd taken measurements. After a couple of minutes of shoving, they too accepted the inevitable. So then it also had to be unwrapped in the hall, and they had to work out how to detach the back, not helped by the fact that DFS have only just started selling La-Z-Boys so they don't have much experience with them. One of them had to go back to the van and fetch a long screwdriver with which they were finally ably to reach the catches holding the back on and take it off, and with that done it was a smooth enough process to get the separate bits in, then reassemble it
