Morning.
Friday apparently.
Damp.
Grey.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Misty.
NotSoChlly in here at 19 deg, 20 deg in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto.
1011 mBar, 29.854 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.6633 psi, (up from 1009 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 13th of January 2020 BR14 popped in, scruff popped in, Brillo popped in, LM had leftovers for tea, I had more chicken, the weather was grim so LM didn't put the bins out and it was making BR14 feel homesick, NF had ribs, then read his book.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked ininitially in the grey gloom, then in sunshine.
During which a gentle maiden driving a Mini Clubman went by leaving a stench of burning rubber. Fortunately she returned & I stopped her: smoke pouring from under the driver's side wheel arch: probably the serpentine belt/water pump/seized alternator (battery light on). All good clean fun on a Friday morning walk.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: some twat on R4 waffling on about gentle parenting. Gawdelpus all.
TWATO.
The thing about the Orange Moron at 13:45. The last of those.
More potching in the garage. I lost a grubscrew out of a junction box & by jingo, I found it again.
.
The workbench illumination duly installed. The next bit is fitting a switch & connecting it all up to another junction box high up on the wall. It's about as far from Part P as is possible to get.
.
Now getting outside a cup of mediocre nonBlend37 coffee. I don't ask for much, simply consistency so the instant crap does the needful doings coffeewise despite two things that would cope with ground coffee and some coffee bags, all of which is far to much of a potch.
Reminder from the dentist: checkup on the 19th of May at 15:30. Oh deep joy.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: PM waffling endlessly about the coming Reich with Farage & co.
"Calling all cars (1954)". Checking the MOT status: The Jaguar XK was "registered" in 2010 and its MOT ran out in 2012. Well there's a thing.
The News Quiz (election version: no British politics).
BTCC. I remember when this was inneresting.
The Repair Shoppe & The Repair Shoppe+1. interspersed.
Abandoned Engineering. Terezin Fortress Czech republic used as a Jewish ghetto in WWII, served as a waystation to the death camps. Memphis Police Station built by Edward Crump who ran the Democrat political machine in Memphis from the 1930s to 1954, as corrupt as they come. The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Puerto San Julian, Argentina. Where the Argies flew from in 1982 in their successful campaign to get Thatcher reelected.
Red Dwarf. DNA. The one with the vindaloo.
Mysteries from Above: Ancient civilisations: columns on some Greek island that were produced for Rome but rather too late. Viksletta Jelle burial mound, southern Norway. The Dolmen of Guadalperal, in a reservoir on the Tagus river, Spain. Square crop mark in Iraq: turned out to be a lost city at darband i rania pass.
