I ended up watching the rest of the Gloucestershire police thing. And then I read a little more Rumpole

Wednesday tomorrow, which means I'm already halfway through the working week!

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Cloudy start but with gaps starting to open up to the east and south, which are already beginning to let sunny spells through. Chance of rain in the next couple of hours: 80%. It'll remain less warm, being 13°C and reaching 18° this afternoon, while the barometers are heading back down at 991/999mB

Morning all
Rain overnight, but made it round the walk without too much precipitation. The rain is now a tad persistent.

The wife got her first Destination X message from Rob Brydon last night, so I really need to get the last few designed and generated. It's amazing what you can do with AI, it's not just a cheat for poor coders, but it allows us to create messages using famous peoples' voices.

Morning all

Dull and overcast. Chilly breeze. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Rain forecast off and on all day. Barometer down to 1004 mBar.

Sunrise 06:28; Sunset 19:27 BST

Rain not helpful for the builders, one of whom has just turned up. It'll also make a mess of my floors as they have to tramp through the flat due to successive home owners claiming the back alleys as part of their gardens. There are sheets down to mitigate the worst of it.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Wet. Persistently wet.

Was misty. Can see across the valley now, boyo.

Grey.

Sunless. Of course it is: it's Fair Week.

Cooler in here at 18.7 deg, 19 in the kitchen, 17.5 in the leanto.

995 mBar, 29.38 in Hg, 746.3 Torr, 14.43 psi, (down from 1001 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 14th of February 2020 Brillo popped in, BR14 had "fun" in the pub with some obnoxious tories, and there was much discussion of half remembered films, including "Lucy" (not she who must not be mentioned), which NF watched, and STIII and STIV which I watched, whereas WTFH "hit the wall" and went to bed.

Freecell score in the ongoing drizzle: 100%, running average: 84%.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about stuff, one of said stuffs was some recruitment scam or other that ends up with the scammers taking out loans that you know nothing about until the bill arrives. Ah, even worse: it's a Universal Credit loan. With the usual lack of joined up anything that might be expected of the government.

Just been potching with a Cambridge Instruments Electrodynamic Ammeter that I liberated from Ye Olde Sloughe of Desponde 10 or more years ago.

It worked. Lovely thing: mahogany case with big mirror scale meter. It agreed with my AVO8 on AC current.

Here's what it looks like:

except mine is 0.5A and 1A, not 2A and 20A.

Second really awful night's sleep in a row. Will probably crawl along to coffee meet up with local history society people a bit later. Book reading thing this afternoon and I ain't read nowt!

[ladymuck]

Raining, with quite some enthusiasm.

Lunch: a Pukka sausage roll

There's been some rain this morning but it's brightened up now, albeit still with lots of big white fluffy things drifting about; it's quite windy too. More rain's expected to pass over us this afternoon; it was originally scheduled for this evening, but the wind must have blown it here sooner
