Lunch: a fish finger bap (white) with lashings of ketchup

It's brightened up a lot outside but there are still huge cumuli hanging around

[sadkingbilly]

lunch was port salut with prosciutto on seeded soda bread.
very nice, too.

[WTFH]

Grass cut. Guttering replaced on 2 sheds. Garlic pulled (it has rust but otherwise it looks good, might blitz and freeze it). Photography student coming round later hoping to get fox pics.
Some of the eBay stuff is about to sell (can’t believe that a 12 year old Olympus underwater camera is getting more watchers than a BT Smart Hub), broken camera is also getting a few bids.

Tea has been leftover spicy chicken and potatoes from the other day

Accompanied by the latest episode of Ambulance

Further viewing: the latest episode of 24 Hours in A&E. Again, some very interesting backstories

And in Blood, Sweat & Chrome the first draft of Mad Max: Fury Road was not a script, but a storyboard of several thousand images. Though it then took about ten years to get the project funded, going through three studios, they continued refining the story. And with the success of the dancing penguin movie Happy Feet, it's been possible to get things moving again and the film has been cast

Monday again tomorrow. Weirdly, our delivery manager leaves this week, as his contract is up on Tuesday and they've decided that with just one migration still to do, they can manage without him

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It's a bright sunny start and a clear blue sky out, with a couple of swifts soaring high over the neighbouring gardens out the back just now. Currently 16°C and expected to be a scorcher at 25° later, though perhaps with a bit more cloud. The barometers are way up at 1016/1024mB

Morning.

Monday apparently judging by the wireless. <click>

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 19.1 deg, 20 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto.

1023 mBar, 30.21 in Hg, 767.3131 Torr, 14.8373 psi, (up from 1021 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 24th of January 2020 I was pissed & completed the viewing of I. Jones & the last crusade, Brillo popped in, LM regretted that the downloads to her new tv computer had proved to be corrupt & had to be repeated, whilst NF had chicken jalfrezi for tea, as you do, apparently.

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

Lunch: brunch.

Took some tools down to the garage for more potching, with the drills on charge in the house.

Decided to strim the No Mow May front lawn, duly strimmed & the hay deposited in the compost heap.

Lawn rake pressed into use & the lawn duly raked horizontally & vertically, then the detritus raked & deposited in the compost heap (I dunno where the collecting bag is).

Then into the garage for a potch: memo to self: drills work better when drilling clockwise rather than anticlockwise.

Extra junction box installed, after which I decided that was enough potching for one day.

Noted that the female half of next door was mildly potching in the jungle of their back garden/front garden.

I'm impressed with the speed with which the privet hedge is growing on their side, also the rambler/climbing rose is covering the front garden path so the postman is leaving a path on the grass of the front lawn.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc.

Entertainment: PM waffling on.

Thing about bones on BBC4.

Skinwalker Ranch. More rockets. More drones. More UFOs.

Thing about Merthyr.

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc. Cool at 5:45, but we had a good big walk (8.3km = 10,000 steps). Hopefully that will see him through until it cools down this evening.

Morning all

Blue sky with lumps of fluff hanging about. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 26 expected. Barometer at 1028 mBar.

Sunrise 04:43; Sunset 21:21 BST

Uneventful journey home yesterday. As I passed through 'nothing to declare' with my illegal sausages, a Border Force person came out of the office with a sniffer dog but they were heading to the bag reclaim hall and the dog wasn't in 'detection mode'. Phew!

Towel wash has been done and draped on the airers that I've put out in the back garden.

My parking permit has been renewed for another year. I'm pretty sure it's doubled from last year but I can't find the receipt.

Also up for renewal was the fibre broadband - price fixed at the same rate so makes sense to stay put.

Oh crap, I need a MOT on my car

[ladymuck]

MOT booked for Wednesday. Expires on Friday.
