Morning denizens
Grey start out again and unlike yesterday, when it turned sunny fairly quickly, it's expected to remain so. Still mild at 4°C (albeit "feeling like" 0°). The barometers are back up a little at 1011/1019mB

Morning all
Mild out at 8C, which when you've got a long coat on makes it quite hot. Overcast and a little damp in the air.
Ate too much food too late last night, so not a good night's sleep.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning.
Monday.
Grey.
Damp.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Misty.
Chilly in here at 12.7 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 in the leanto.
1019 mBar, 30.09 in Hg, 764.3 Torr, 14.779 psi, (down from 1020 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 25th of December 2019: Bah! Humbug!
Walk (abbreviated due to hedge cutting) walked in the sunshine.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about google ads leading people to claims companies rather than their insurance company.
Freecell score: 50%. WTF?
Some electronic potching done: I wound a coil and figured out its value. Who'd have thunk?
Tea: chilli con carne with rice. Nice enough.
Entertainment: PM.
More electronic potching: got the Marconi TF2700 bridge out & learned how to use it. Who'd have thunk?
Oak Island bollox: "Roman around": the metal detecting moron comes out with his usual cry. I don't think I'll bother with this any more: I've read the comments on next season & S12 & it looks like it's jumped the whale shark.
Secrets in the Ice: 34k old Siberian graves. Iceland: Briish bomber lost on a glacier. Stone me the voice over is irritating. Dino bones in Alaska. Er, have they never heard of continental drift? Oh, apparently it was closer to the pole then than it is now. Who'd have thunk? Furry/feathery dinos? Antarctic Amery ice shelf: hole: collapsed meltwater lake.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 4 February 2025, 10:08.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Lunch was a pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps

First time in ages that I've knocked off around 5pm and not needed to put the hall light on to navigate safely back to the living room!

Tea has been pork chow mein. I put a bit of monosodium glutamate in there this time for authenticity's sake. Very nice
And this was accompanied by the latest episode of Inside the Factory, said factory being Clays of Bungay where they were printing 20,000 copies of the Penguin Clothbound Classics edition of Pride and Prejudice
Though whoever finds the old stock footage loses marks for matching Cherry describing the process of hand-setting individual pieces of type (sorts, to give them their proper name) with shots of somebody putting Linotype slugs in a galley; two very different things
