Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Hints of sun.

Chilly in here at 14.1 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (down from 1018 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 6th of March 2020 Brillo, eek, and AndyGarbs popped in, whilst NF took his car to the vets for an MOT then wandered around doing some shopping on the way back home.

Looks like they are having somewhat less than fun in Sydney. I wonder which brand of nutter is responsible for this one. Ho hum. Ah. That brand of nutter, who'd have guessed?.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom. A layer less than yesterday so I didn't overheat.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about David Harewood. <click at the first bar of the music for next POS>

Morning all
Currently a 1 car family. Oh, the shame!

Morning denizens

Rather a grey and windy day, and expected to continue so. It’s 8°C, though that “feels like” 0°, and will only get as high as 10°. The barometers are heading back down again at 1004/1012mB

Looking ahead at the 10-day forecast, it appears that the weather in the buildup to Christmas Eve will continue in much the same vein, though with the added likelihood (65%-90%) of rain on six of those days and the possibility (unquantified) of sunny spells on just one of them

Anyway, it’s Sunday and I don’t have ClientGov work on Monday, so that’s enough reason to be reasonably content

Morning all

Sunny with high level wisps hanging about. Currently 8 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 11 expected. Barometer down to 1022 mBar.

Sunrise 08:00: Sunset 15:52 GMT

Bed stripped and airing. The bedroom window is open a crack for extra airing. Laundering will commence when I get home from Mum's.

Today’s big adventure is defrosting the freezer. It hasn’t got that icy in there over the three years I’ve been here, but it had built up to the point where it was starting to feel like Something Should Be Done. Then, the other day, it turned out one of the drawers hadn’t gone all the way back in because of ice, which in turn meant the door wasn’t quite closed. It was only a tiny gap but it had the unfortunate effect of somehow making the ice grow, making it even harder to get the drawer back in properly when I discovered what had happened. A good hard shove did the trick, but I can’t be bothered doing that every time, so I’ve turned it off, opened the door, and placed bowls of hot water within to help the thawing process along

The old freezer hasn’t yet been disposed of, but struggles to get any of its shelves below -10°C nowadays. But it’s able to serve as a temporary repository for the frozen stuff, because that’s better than leaving it all out at room temperature

Nice walk with (not) loony lady 3 yesterday by some lakes. Nowt on today except drink at village club maybe.

There's a tiny little spider wandering around on my monitor. Some company anyway.

Freezer defrosted!

The drawers have been washed and dried and reinserted, the fridge-freezer as a whole has been turned back on (because it’s all or nothing), and the SuperFreeze™ button engaged

It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes to get down to a point where it makes sense to transfer the stuff back from the other freezer

I was pleased to see that the fridge part hadn’t warmed up very much at all - it’s still at an acceptable temperature, so my sausages etc. are safe
