Today on scrambled maps, I made the mistake of selecting Medan, Indonesia.

I’ve been working round the countries, and have arrived at the last one, which is now state by state - and I’m at Maryland.

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Shadow (2018), a Chinese film. I assumed this would be full of martial arts and such, but more fool me: it was mainly about honour, and correct presentation at the Royal Court, and so on - though it did culminate in a load of martial arts stuff, and almost all of the main characters ended up dead in interestingly gory ways, so I’m not complaining

And then a rewatch of Battle: Los Angeles (2011) which is pure hokum from start to finish; but why shouldn’t it be? As they used to say, that’s entertainment

Finally, an episode - E6, apparently - of Alien: Earth. This is an OK series, but I had to keep remembering how various characters fitted into the story. If they’d made it good enough that I had to keep watching, or good enough that I remembered all of the context when I resumed watching, then it would have been good enough. But it seems that although it’s not bad, it’s neither gripping nor memorable; or not enough of either

Goodnight all

Morning.

Saturday.

Dry.

Hints of sun possibly existing.

Chillier in here at 13.6 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto.

Looks a tad frosty out.

1022 mBar, 30.18 in Hg, 766.6 Torr, 14.82 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 6th of March 2020 WTFH found it frosty, Brillo popped in, along with Scruff and LM, with much talk of "Squawk 7700".

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Warm it wasn't.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: FOOC.

Feck feck feckity feck: the box containing Nut&Bolts (win95) has everything still in it apart from the licence number. Bollox. I loaned it to someone yonks ago & never checked that the registration thing came back. Ho hum.

Freecell score: 75%, running average: 84%.

Tea: 3 bean soup etc. Nice enough.

Entertainment: PM with a presenter I can tolerate. . Can't say that very often.

"Operation Crossbow (1966)" with George Peppard. Apparently "they" had managed to build a Ernst Stavro Blofeld underground launch site for the A10 ICBM. Er, yeah, right.

Thing about sheep who live on a Shetland Isle by eating seaweed.

Weatherman Walking: Brynmawr to Abergavenny. I used to walk just across the road from that cinema.

Morning all

Blue skies are back. Currently 4 degrees with a high of 9 expected. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses. Barometer up to 1029 mBar.

Sunrise 07:59; Sunset 15:52 GMT

Decided to trace the director of a company whose post keeps coming to my address and ask them if they'd be so kind as to inform their creditors that they don't operate from it. I suspect I'll get either nothing or a load of abuse back. They're some kind of performing arts person with quite the list of credits but their registered office is some golfing activity centre. All very suss.

Afternoon denizens

After yesterday’s gloomy grey skies, today it’s sunny - though somewhat attenuated from time to time by wisps and sheets of very thin, high cloud. The relatively open sky has let the temperature drop a bit: it’s currently on today’s high of 8°C, though even that “feels like” 3°. The barometers are back up to 1012/1020mB

Tea was brought to me from the Turkish place

Consumption thereof was accompanied by Kingdom on iPlayer, being the final episode apart from the inevitable “making of” one
