Morning all

Dull and overcast. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 4) with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast off and on until mid-afternoon when the sun might come out. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

Sunrise 07:52; Sunset 16:35

I need to do my holiday laundry. Usually, I unpack as soon as I get home but this time I haven't and my case is just lying on the living room floor where I left it after taking out the toiletries I need to use.

[WTFH]

When The Wife was away on her work trip, 4 of her colleagues didn't get their luggage. One of them had an AirTag in it, and that bag was retrieved the quickest. The Wife has come home and decided we should get some, so I've ordered a 4 pack from JLP.
Due for delivery tomorrow. I'm wondering if tracking a parcel containing tracking devices is risking a disruption in the space-time continuum.

I use Pebblebee for a similar purpose. They're Android compatible but still connect up to the wider 'Find My' network that Apple and Google (and, I suppose, others) have kindly agreed to collaborate / co-operate on.

Suitcase has been emptied. Laundry has commenced. I am pleased only one top out of all that I packed went unworn.

Lunch: Scotch broth with a crust of wholemeal

Drizzly rain on and off for much of the morning, though there seems to be a hiatus right now. But according to the meteorologists, it'll get worse before it gets better

There was some rain and, as forecast, the clouds have parted and it's sunny afternoon with some lumps of fluff scurrying about.

The first load of laundry was done and draped about and now the second load is nearing completion.

That's me done for the week!

I was going to knock off at 3 but the developer community hour, which has been defunct for a few months, has been revived. As that's just a sitting-around-chatting thing, I carried on until that was over

Tea tonight was spag bol

This was accompanied by the next episode of C4's Manhunt, dealing with another murder. And then, as I never got around to watching much of it (mainly because it vanished from Amazon Prime IIRC) when it experienced a resurgence of popularity on TPD a few years ago, I watched the pilot episode of Hill Street Blues, and vaguely plan to watch more of it as and when I remember

Hey! Hey! Hey! Let's be careful out there!

145 to go then. .

I'd better keep going then…

Tonight's reading has been more of the Colditz book. It's late 1944, and things are getting tense as the Wehrmacht comes under the control of loyal Nazis after the Stauffenberg plot and increasing numbers of Prominente arrive at the castle, clearly intended for use as hostages

Friday tomorrow! If the lift is still working then I can finally get some stuff out of here. Either way, I need to go shopping, so that'll be something to do in the storm

Goodnight all

Morning all
Blue skies here. I can see them from inside my lawnmower shed.
Summerhouse roof remained intact, a minor leek at the french doors in the lounge, and the wind has blown through.

TFIF, etc.
