    Bits of leftover takeaway for lunch

      Bedding wash on

      I've fallen behind a bit on the bedding, so have two complete sets to wash. These are the warmer sets, so I'll need at least one of them for the coming rather chilly week

          Tea tonight has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

          This was accompanied by the latest episode of Ambulance

          And off and on through the day, I've been tinkering with yet another SwiftUI app. Sorted some bits out, got stuck on some others

            My flight home from Glasgow was uneventful. I haven't yet unpacked; that will be a job for tomorrow.

              I read a chunk more of Our Spoons Came From Woolworths this evening

              The Swift stuff isn't working, because I haven't bothered learning how to to do asynchronous stuff and now I have to

              But it's a Bank Holiday tomorrow!

              Goodnight all

                  Morning.

                  Monday.

                  Dry.

                  Sunny.

                  Blue sky.

                  Chillier in here at 17.2 deg, 17.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

                  1018.8 mBar, 30.08 in Hg, 764.2 Torr, 14.775 psi, (up from 1016 last night), 59% RH (Lidl electric).

                  Meanwhile on the 14th of January 2020 NF did a bedding wash, xogg popped in, BR14 popped in, Brillo popped in, LM had turkey curry for tea, and I had M&S breaded haddock (something that'll never happen again).

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

                  Lunch: brunch.

                  Entertainment: Y&Y.

                  Freecell score: 50%. Then I gave up.

                  More potching in the garage. One of the recently installed bulbs went, bet I can't get the screw out of the fitting.

                  Now having a mediocre cup of coffee, having bought replenishments this morning.

                  Much sneezing today: I assume the pollen count is rising. Chest seemed a bit tight too.

                  Tea: Brains faggots with peas & mash. Very nice.

                  Entertainment: PM <click>

                  Gosh.

                  Doctor Who "Spearhead from Space" on U+Eden.

                  The first of John Pertwee oevre: unwoke. Proper rifles: FN 7.62. Not some illdesigned wanknasty 5.56 crap.

                  The MOT on the 1927 Vauxhall Tourer The Doctor stole ran out in 2012.

                  Lucy Worsley's Blitz Spirit (2021).

                  Warplane Workshop: how a group of Scottish pensioners spent 25 years bulding a biplane. Hope they'd had their tea. . Sopwith 1.5 Strutter.

                    It's another day with sunny spells but seeming likely to become increasingly cloudy, and there's quite a strong and chilly breeze as well. As a result it's 9°C but "feels like" 4°, so the expected high of 13° might be higher than yesterday but will probably feel chillier. The barometers are optimistic though, being up to 1011/1019mB

                      I just remembered I had some beef short ribs in the fridge that need to be used, and this time they're not too big for the slow cooker. So they're in there now, with some Hobgoblin stout, veg, and herbs in the bottom of the pot, for eight hours of slow pot roasting. And the delicious aroma of fried beef, from browning them before putting them in, lingers in the air
