Bed linen put away and smalls laundered then draped about. Jumpers and other wearables are now in the WM. I may get my jeans done today too, or maybe tomorrow, I am undecided.

One day done, three days to go
It wasn't too bad today, as it turned out. Most of the time was spent poking around at something with between two and three other people, working out why it wasn't working. We eventually fixed it with the help of a couple of other people. The general consensus among the team is that nobody can expect much of anybody so soon after Christmas and New Year, so if things take a while to sort out, it isn't really a problem

Tea: ribs and chips
Accompanied by the not-much-motorway police thing. They must be running low on wholly irrelevant dashcam clips for this series, as there were only two or three of them chucked in

No additional telly tonight, but a bit of mucking around with GameplayKit, which is being very annoying (presumably because I'm doing something wrong)
And I read up to Sunday 5 February in February 1933, during which few days various people have been killed with impunity by local Nazis, and Hindenburg has willingly signed a decree handing control of the Press and the power to suppress political meetings in the hands of Hitler and his thugs. Or putting it another way, I read what will be in the news from the USA in a few weeks
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
No snow or rain this morning, though there's some low clouds on the horizon in the southern region and rather higher ones in the northern. Currently -1°C and feeling like -6°, with an expected high of 4°. The barometers are back up to 984/992mB
The first of the bin lorries has just arrived and is tending to our bins. Nature is healing

Morning all
Dull and overcast. Snowing! Big fat lumps of fluff falling from the sky. Not settling at present. Currently 1 degree ('feels like' -1) with a high of 6 expected. The cloud is set to clear by early afternoon and some sunshine poke through. Barometer up to 997 mBar.
Sunrise 08:05; Sunset 16:10
I didn't do a jeans wash yesterday as there wasn't space to hang them out. The items laundered yesterday are pretty much dry now so that wash has now gone on. Putting away the clean stuff / draping about the wet stuff will be a good procrastination task for later this morning when I inevitably get bored.Comment

Morning.
Tuesday.
No current precipitation.
Damp.
Not frosty.

Cold in here at 10.8 deg, 8 deg in the kitchen and leanto, 4 deg in the saltinghouse.
997.5 mBar, 29.456 in Hg, 748.2 Torr, 14.4675 psi, (up from 994 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 17th of December 2019 NF had his first mince pie of the season, whereas BR14 had had a couple of dozen, and LM had had a few, I hadn't had any, and was watching Angel S5 but had to forego E8 due to needing to get up at stupid o'clock to ferry someone to Bridgend Hospital since next door only has one driver. Not amused.
Shirts in the WM & as soon as they came out it started to rain: hence they are in the TD.
Cottons in the WM.
Shopping trip to Morrisons & The Works done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away plus the new calendar up on the wall.
Lunch: brunch.
Shirts out of the TD.
Smalls in the TD.
Shirts roughly iRoned & airing upstairs.
Smalls out of the TD and airing upstairs.
Cottons & socks in the TD which is generating the usual selection of random numbers: how it can go from 8 minutes left to 37 remains a mystery wrapped in an Enigma. Maybe it's coz it's German.
It reached 3 & I stopped it. Cottons airing upstairs.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Cold out there.
Tea: Tesco battered haddock etc. Nice enough.
Entertainment: PM. Listening to the proposed annexation of theSudetenlandGreenland, Canada, Panama Canal from the Very Stable Orange Moron..
Thing about railways on PBS. Mildly inneresting. No bubble fronted dmus though.
Digging for Britain. Well it's on.
Shooter S3 E1, E2, E3. Another late night with the .338.. Curiously my Anschutz 250 is exactly the same weight as one version of that. . In other words, it's bloody heavy.
