Sunny.

Cold side of chilly out, 12.2 in here, 11 in the kitchen, 6.5 in the leanto.

1003 mBar, 29.618 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.547 psi, (up from 1002 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of January 2020, it was a Wednesday apparently, LM had survived the wedding & appreciation was expressed by many for the photos, WTFH, Brillo and BR14 popped in, along with xogg, whereas NF was listing filmic experiences overnight.

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

Trip to that Swansea to donate books to Oxfam & clear the barclaycard for the last time for a long while. X7 down, 38 back.

Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Couldn't find the own brand ibuprofen gel. .

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y, thing about bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes.

Freecell score: 50%, running average: 82%.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough. Plenty fibre. Plenty farts.

Entertainment: PM.

"The sons of Katie Elder (1965)". The Duke doing his thing with Dean Martin, Dennis Hopper in an early role.

Last 5 minutes of Inspector Morse.

Weatherman walking.

Thing about toxic tips. Of which there are many: lead and arsenic being touted as "bad", I wonder if they'll mention the really nasty tulipe.

The last 45 minutes of "Ipcress" followed by "The truth about Len Deighton" from 2005.

Boring shop at Sainsburies after me walk soon. If I don't get a Viz this time I shall definitely commit suicide. Not that CUK will notice, I have trained my puppet parrot to pretend to be me.

Another working week done!

I was just thinking, soon the sun will be setting late enough that I can get to Sainsbury's and back after the evening rush hour has died down but before it gets dark. Looked up when that will be, and of course BST starts in a couple of weeks! So getting the shopping done on Thursday evening will be very much an option soon

Tea has been the spicy Turkish chicken and potatoes thing out of the freezer

This was accompanied by the RAF thing on C4. This one included the death of the Queen, which must have delighted the documentary makers as they got to film various special activities related to that

I discovered the other day, via the appropriate Reddit channel, that there is a 12th season of The Curse of Oak Island. So this evening I am watching that.

Wood. A new, previously unknown, shaft. A nail. A cut coin that's English, one of the Georges.
