I'll take a look at that, thanks!

I think there is a new series of Ambulance on BBC starting today.

I have taken to logging my TV interests on a website called Next Episode which does a pretty good job of telling you when things are airing.

Currently watching some of today's snooker as it's nicely relaxing.

Just checked iPlayer, and there it is!

I'll have a look at the Next Episode site, thanks

This evening, I've been reading more of Story of a Murder in which Doctor Crippen's engaging in all kinds of shenanigans; definitely a bad 'un

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all
Was a bit murky earlier, but the sun is burning it off.

Watched Ambulance last night, there were a couple of the cases that looked like we had seen them before.
The "who's it going to be in this episode" game didn't even make it to the closing credits.

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 15.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto.

1017 mBar, 30.03 in Hg, 762.8 Torr, 14.75 psi, (unchanged), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 11th of January 2020 Brillo popped in & had expressed dissatisfaction with the meal his mrs had cooked, BR14 popped in, LM was dissatisfied with the iPlayer downloads being tied to hardware, NF still had a flat tyre but the Chinese had saved the evening with a delicious meal, and I was watching "Shot in the Dark" followed by "Where Eagles Dare".

Trip down to the surgery for the shingles jab: this one hurt.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine and in the reverse direction.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: R4 waffling on about the Supreme Court's recent judgement. . Feck me, this is beginning to make me appreciate some of the Orange Moron's points. The world's gone fecking mad.

TWATO. In anticipation of whatever bollox the Orange Moron has come out with overnight. Oh for another LHO.

Today's Great Spider Hunt is taking place in the box room. Feck me there's a lot of boxes in there. And books. And video cassettes of assorted types: VHS, Video 2000, and Beta.

Now taking a spell for the afternoon cup of mediocre coffee (Tesco) before returning to the fray.

Did I mention the SDS drills? (2), the oscilloscope (Telequipment: someone took the covers), 10" portable CTV & video, assorted offcuts of timber, hardboard, plastic & copper pipes, etc. Something just fell over upstairs.

It was a piles of books & Betamax cassettes balanced on an SDS drill in a case. It all fell over.

Two bookcases pulled out, polished, cleaned, and put back, the contents went back in some random order due to being past caring.

All the rest of the crap put back in there. Looked at a 47 year old photograph from 3M which shows a number of dead men (I didn't kill any of them).

Found some other crap I'd forgotten about and a pile of "Guns & Ammo" and "Practical Wireless" from 1976/1977. The PW had the "Video Typewriter" on the cover. That's all it did: it put characters on the tv screen, I don't think it had a serial i/f to do anything more useful.

Also found the fixit manuals for a selection of long obsolete computer monitors and the schematics for the Hazeltine 2000 vdu (two of which reside unloved in the tin shed).

Two pairs of M&S shoes (made in India): one pair barely worn: fell to pieces. Very impressive. I recall another pair that wore out in a month. The Chinese shoes are better. Which ain't saying much.

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Added a little too much chilli powder. .

Entertainment: PM.

Feck me, so that's how you get rid of multiquote. Who'd have thunk?

NCIS S17 E7 the cameras in the motel loft one.

Abandoned Engineering. Peter Widner: Lynnewood Hall Pennsylvania. His son & grandson went down with the Titanic. Wolf's Lair II, France: begun 1942, finished 1944 just as D Day happened. Dear old Adolph visited once then fecked off back to Berlin. Naples Palazo Davelos on the island of Procida: turned into a prison: lots of Mafiosos. Poland: Finckenstein Palace: Napoleon Bonaparte.

HIGNIFY.

Tony Robinson looking at big machines: The NASA crawler is impressive.

Strewth I don't feel too good. It's either something I picked up in the surgery or it's that damn jab. Or both.

It's the jab: full on rigor. Feck feck feckity feck feck feck.

Red Dwarf. Blob. 1991.

HIGNIFY: 2019. The Orange Moron Part I, plus the tow headed feckwhit.

Mysteries from above: more bollox on Blaze: 19km circle around an NZ volcano: caused by the Evil British making it into a park. Solomon Islands: bloom seen from above, caused by undersea eruption. Harrat al Sham, the Black Desert: lines & structures made 8k BC to trap antelope etc. Plus some of the "keyholes" are graves. Zealandia continent.

Morning denizens

The sunny start is beginning to hide behind gathering cumuli, while the conifers are being ruffled by a slight breeze. Temperatures are about standard: 9°C now, 14° later. The barometers are up one notch at 1012/1020mB

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Sunny with wispy bits. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Cloud cover set to increase then go away again. Barometer up a smidge to 1023 mBar.

Sunrise 05:44; Sunset 20:15 BST

Rubbish sleep. This time thanks to really achy legs (plus coughing). I finally snapped shortly before 5 am and took a couple of paracetamol. I then slept quite well thereafter, making me wonder why I didn't do that earlier.

[ladymuck]

Forgot to mention yesterday that ConsultancyCo have extended me for another 3 months, which is handy.

Boomed!

More shopping has been done, as the M&S Food Hall had restocked the particular sausages I wanted

I ended up getting other fancy meat while I was there, including a wagyu ribeye and a tomahawk pork cutlet. These will, of course, be served in the best cordon bleu style: with chips and beans

Then over to Sainsbury's, where I really didn't need very much at all as I was there the other day. But it gave me an opportunity to stock up on various household bits like bin liners and cleaning materials

Now to decide what to have for lunch
