Sunny day out and heading into heatwave territory: already 22°C and predicted to reach 27° this afternoon, though only for an hour or so. But the barometers are already heading downwards at 1004/1012mB, presaging cooler and rainier weather for the rest of the week

There's a Red Lion, opposite Ealing studios? https://www.theredlionw5.com/

I was mooching around Northfields though as I'm now West Ealing based rather than one of the other flavours.

ah, Red, not White. funny, i thought it was white, but it IS 40+ years since i had a double bedsit near Ealing Common

a fullers pub? high speed bitter?

Tea has been leftover curry

And to watch, part two of the Piper Alpha thing, in which things went from bad to worse and then Thatcher and Cecil Parkinson showed up

A fine pair of *****.

More than enough to make the curry reappear, I'd have thunk.

Just read that The Milk Snatching Bitch skipped the memorial service so she could spend some time with a Tory donor.

Doesn't surprise me

In The Rewind Files, it's starting to look like all the bad things happening are the result of capitalism

Back to work tomorrow. Woe, woe, and thrice woe!

And the washer-dryer is supposed to be arriving between 10:30 and 12:30 so probably in the middle of the afternoon, assuming it gets here at all

Goodnight all

Morning all
I'd like to say that we had rain overnight, but it would be better to say that there was a bit of dampness that might keep the dust down for an hour or two.

It's a grey day out with some drizzle, though that's supposed to stop soon. Getting cooler too: currently 17°C but peaking at 23°, heading towards highs of a mere 18° by the end of the week. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB

The washer-dryer is currently in north-east Birmingham but they seem to be making good time and are now predicted to arrive a little earlier than planned, possibly around 10:10
