Morning all

Sunny, barely a wisp in the sky. Occasional strong gusts of wind. Currently 14 degrees ('feels like' 12) with a high of 16 expected. Barometer up to 1015 mBar.

Sunrise 07:09; Sunset 18:30 BST

Off to see Mum when I've finished my coffee.

Walk with loony lady 3 later. Nice to walk with someone who's fit, unlike the other two, I'm just hanging around waiting for them much of the time.

Tedious drive down. Took over 2 hours. Breezy down here with lumps of fluff scurrying about.

The brown sauce has gone missing. Had to have red sauce on our bacon sandwiches. A quick check with my brother reveals it was there yesterday so it's likely she threw it out. That's the current behaviour. I'll pop up to the shop and get a new bottle plus more bread as she's eaten all that too.

Lunch was some leftover chicken 65 from last night

Lots of time was going to be spent on doing RealityKit stuff, but it ended up being SwiftUI stuff instead; to wit, sorting out how to handle opening and saving files from the File menu without scattering the relevant code in a load of different parts of the app. Worked it all out in the end, and it's quite tidy now

Tea has been the leg, wing, and a bit of breast off the Big Chicken, with chips

To go with it, a further episode of Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death

[NickFitz]

Later viewing this evening was also on Netflix: Famous Last Words: Dr. Jane Goodall, recorded in March. It's an interesting idea for a programme. The interviewee is guaranteed that it won't be broadcast (well, streamed) until after their death. There aren't even any members of the production crew in the studio, only the interviewer: the cameras are operated remotely, and the operators don't have an audio feed. She had a lot of good things to say, though not about Trump, Musk, Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu

In The Andromeda Strain, the containment of the space organism has started to fail!

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Sunny start, with just a few small, flat bits of cloud towards the horizon. Still a little breeze left, though nothing like it has been; the current 11°C "feels like" 7° as a result, but we can expect a balmy high of 19° for much of the afternoon. The barometers are, as expected, up at 1010/1018mB

Morning.

Monday.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Blue sky in parts.

Chilly in here at 17.5 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto, 12.7 in the saltinghouse.

1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.7 Torr, 14.786 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020: same as yesterday.

Washing frenzy in progress. How have I reached the stage of doing the washing on Monday? As was always the case for decades.
