Morning all
Short (6km) walk this morning due to Max and I not wanting to get out of bed.
Overcast, looking like it could rain, but none forecast.
In the TV world, currently catching up on Season 1 of The Gone, since S2 is out now. Also really enjoying Annika.

Morning denizens

Grey day out, and things seem to be cooling down this week. It's 18°C and the expected high is a mere 21°, with highs of 19° expected midweek. The barometers are down a bit to 1011/1019mB

I discovered this morning that there was no wholemeal bread for my toast - well, rediscovered, as I was aware of this but had forgotten to make any more. So annoying was this that I got the breadmaker working on a loaf before I even started brewing my coffee

Picking up loony lady 1 from Gatwick North terminal this afternoon. I hate that place, always get lost and feel I'm in a horror movie. As usual, just did much better at SAGA crossword than at the so-called quick crossword.

Morning all

Overcast. Dull. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 23 expected. Possibility of rain before brightening up later. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

Sunrise 05:52; Sunset 20:17 BST

A short week this week, on account of that wedding on Wednesday. At least the forecast has improved a bit.

And yet another unregarded OM for NF. .

Morning Afternoon.

Monday?

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

As humid as a gorilla's armpit.

22.8 deg in here, 23.5 in the kitchen, 22.5 in the leanto, 22.4 in the saltinghouse.

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (unchanged), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 8th of February 2020 Brillo & BR14 popped in, NF was in the Chinese which was very nice, and I watched "Highlander" and "The Omega Man" for want of anything better, whilst NF was finding it windier and had turned off the soup to let it cool.

Washing frenzy in progress (with added 60 deg wash to turn that little red light off).

Shopping trip to Aldi and Tesco.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about how expensive HE is these days, merely accommodation costing £10k/yr (as opposed to the £270/yr I paid back in Ye Mysts of Tyme & all that, back then we didn't know what "tuition fees" were, though I did pay £4 for my first year of HNC. However the 2nd year was £140 after Harold Wilson got elected).

Shirts & those cottons requiring it met the iRon & are airing upstairs.

Feck me it's close today.

Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & such.

Entertainment: PM with much mention of the Orange Micropenised Moron.

Might watch that Jason Statham thing this evening. For a Guy Ritchie film it wasn't bad: and so it transpired, with Mr Eastwood's son as the baddie, not that there was much difference really. Mr Statham really was wrathful.

Thing on BBC4 about JMW Turner in BBC documentaries over the years. The colour programmes after 1967 were rather better than the earlier B&W offerings. .

Lunch was a leftover bit of lamb steak sandwiched in a white crust

The wholemeal loaf is now baked, and cooling on the wire rack. Need to make a white one tomorrow

In sorting through the assorted left overs HWMBO deposited in the fridge, I decided that I needed to use up some bacon and accompany it with an egg. So that was what I had for a late lunch.

Not much had to be disposed of, and some of it was still suitable for freezing.

[NickFitz]

For tea tonight, beef & ale stew with the other crust of the white loaf

Whilst dining, I watched Murder Case - Who Killed Kiesha? on iPlayer, another sad mess in Scotland

Cock up collecting LL1 at Gatwick North, accidentally drove through Gatwick South and ended up paying fee twice. Wonder if one can get cloned number plates on some shady website?
