    Lunch, then, has been a cold roast chicken leg and a bag of crisps

    The RAC are outside, ministering to a small black car on the other side of the lawn. I don’t think they really need their flashing orange beacons in this location, but I suppose it’s policy or something <- but orange

          Tea: pork cutlet, chips and beans

          The RAC went away again after spending some time poking about under the bonnet of the sickly black car. And a while later, the car itself was gone; hopefully, it had left under its own power rather than being towed away or anything

                Tonight’s viewing started with the second part of 24 Hours in Police Custody. A wretched business all round, and I hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life behind bars, secure in the knowledge that he didn’t even achieve what he set out to do. As for the daughter: well, the CPS made its determination on the evidence. She’ll have to live with whatever she may have done, but at least she won’t have benefited from it

                On to tonight’s major motion picture premiere, because I figured it was about time I started taking advantage of having some time off: A Line of Fire (2025). One of those things where a retired special agent gets drawn back in, and why shouldn’t it be? Entertaining stuff, and proof that they still make films that don’t involve superheroes, because he gets punched in the face quite a lot

                And then I faced a serious decision. Given that I’ve rewatched the first two Terminator films, should I carry on with the third one, or the third one? I decided to go with the third one: Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) because it’s excellent, and also third

                I’ll go back to the other third one another time

                Goodnight all

                    Morning.

                    Thursday.

                    Damp.

                    The Puddle(tm) is back having gone away yesterday.

                    Grey.

                    Dark.

                    Dreary.

                    Sunless.

                    Chilly in here at 14.4 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

                    999.5 mBar, 29.52 in Hg, 749.69 Torr, 14.496 psi, (down from 1001.5 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Meanwhile on the 6th of March 2020 Brillo, eek, LM and BR14 popped in whilst NF regaled us with the rather sad history of the garage he uses.
