Lunch: ham toasties

Still nice out, to the degree that a couple of the neighbours spread a blanket on the big lawn and had a picnic lunch

[NickFitz]

Tea has been beef & Guinness casserole with chips

Accompanied by the RAF thing on C4

[NickFitz]

More of Caledonian Road has been read. It's really very good. The twists and turns are getting very twisty now

There was another scene set over in Spinney Hill, which had me checking a couple of pubs on Google Maps. I'd vaguely thought one or both of them might be defunct. They're the kind of places I stayed away from in the 1980s as they had a bit of a reputation for being on the rough side. Turns out they're both still going, and both doing a nice line in Indian food

Another early night now, to try and make up for last night. Only eleven working days until I get a break, but this week and early next week are going to be pretty hectic leading up to the big day of the migration a week tomorrow

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Cloudy start out, with the pale disk of the sun managing to show up through the thinner patches. It'll clear up before long though and warm up when it does, going from the current 3°C to a more springlike 14°. The barometers are down but not significantly: 1016/1024mB

Morning.

Tuesday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 14.1 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.

1020.5 mBar, 30.14 in Hg, 765.44 Torr, 14.8011011 psi, (down from 1022 last night), 59% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 6th of January 2020: same as yesterday: the Great Co-op shop discussion.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y <click> TWATO.

More potching down in the garage: the ladders are now hanging from the rafters rather than tripping me up on the floor. The large cabinet is now about 35 cm shorter than it was which has dispensed with the stuck drawers full of mouse nests and enabled me to move it into the garage. At which point I stopped due to exhaustion.

Tea: Tesco battered fish of some sort (cod as it transpires, having looked at the box), nice enough.

Entertainment: PM waffling on about the Sceptics, extraterritoriality, the Orange Moron, Diego Garcia, etc. etc. etc.

The Repair shop: the one about the model boat and the multimeter belonging to a chap who died 8 days after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Why bridges fall down on BBC2: well that one did because someone hit the fecker with a ship.

Trump's Tariffs & NI.

Trump's mate Putin: Hunting the KGB Killers of Alexander Litvinenko.

Morning all
A bit of cloud, but a cold 3C earlier. Looks like it could be warming up to a pleasant day.

Morning all

Blue sky with lumps of fluff scurrying past. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 14 expected. Barometer down a bit to 1027 mBar.

Sunrise 06:36; Sunset 19:35 (BST)

Last night I watched a couple more episodes of 24 Hours in A&E followed by a Surgeons: At The Edge of Life.

Pancetta omelette for lunch

Still too many meetings

Outside, it's a clear blue sky other than some traces of vapour trails very high up

[NickFitz]

Phoned the bike shop and arranged to take it in on Friday to have the handlebars adjusted to a position that allows me to see where I'm going
