    Afternoon all

    Sunny day, a mere hint of a wisp from my vantage point. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer steady at 1020 mBar.

    Sunrise 05:19; Sunset 20:38 BST

    Lots of work to do. Lacking the enthusiasm to do any of it. I'll get a round tuit eventually as I also like getting paid.

      Lunch: leftover pork belly (from the chow mein the other night) in a white bap with apple sauce

      I seem to have run out of wholemeal baps, but I'm not going all the way to Sainsbury's just for them. Might pop round to the bakery in the morning; I need to go to the chemists anyway, and they're only a couple of doors apart

          Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan

          Accompanying it, E1 of The Warship: Tour of Duty about the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth pootling around in the sea.

            I managed to get some useful work done on the Swift app during the course of the day

            And this evening, I read more of Porno

            Early night now, so I'm ready for the journey south (and back) tomorrow

            Goodnight all

              Morning.

              Saturday.

              Dry.

              Sunny.

              Blue sky.

              Chilly in here at 16 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

              1013.5 mBar, 29.929 in Hg, 760.188 Torr, 14.699 psi, (down from 1015 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

              Meanwhile the 15th of January 2020 was much the same as yesterday: NF blamed the wheel nuts for being too tight.

              Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable sunshine. Heard a cuckoo. Several times.

              Many more people up there this morning.

              Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Moneybox. News Quiz.

              Spy thing on PBS. Atomic Spies. Aerial Spies. Doubled spies.

              Doctor Who: Inferno 3, 4, 5.

              Whatever other bollox I can find: there's a thing about Skinwalker on later. Should be utter bollox. Along with the Ancient Aliens bollox preceding it.

              Too much bollox even for me. The skinwalker thing is in Louisiana.

                Morning denizens

                Sunny day out with no clouds to be seen, at least not from this angle. It's already 16°C with a stated goal of 20°, though the barometers are down a bit at 1007/1015mB

                I ended up having a nice sleep in this morning. Just need to get ready for the off once I've had coffee; all I need to take with me is Easter eggs for everyone

                  Morning all

                  Lovely sunny day, with occasional fluff. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

                  Sunrise 05:17; Sunset 20:39 BST

                  At the GP this morning then off to Canary Wharf to meet friends for some kind of scavenger hunt.

                    Gawd, walk with ll3. Don't think I can take that woman anymore. Later to little local art exhibition, know a few people there.

                      Home again!

                      It turned out we were having lunch at the pub near the old parental home. Very nice meal; I had ham, fried eggs and chips, which was all the better for a grilled pineapple ring that hadn't been mentioned on the menu

                      On the way down, Google Maps seems to have become a little confused, as when I arrived it proudly announced that the journey had taken 20,618 days and 11 hours, which it hadn't

                      And coming back it was telling me it would take longer than seemed likely to get home. Once I'd arrived, I discovered that it had somehow got the impression that I wanted to go to the Build-a-Bear Workshop in town. I'm not averse to the idea in principle, but not today thank you
