Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 11.4 deg, 9.5 in the kitchen, 7 in the leanto, 5.6 in the saltinghouse (warmer than yesterday).

1011 mBar, 29.854 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.66 psi, (down from 1017 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile late on the 8th of March 2020 WTFH was thinking of going away to Charmouth, LM had missed the H2G2 extravaganza which I had studiously ignored, whereas on the 9th scruff and opm popped in whilst NF was up late and The Leg was painful again.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: some poetry thing about Philip Larkin, Noon o'clock news. Pick of the year <click>

Raining.

Stopped raining. At least it's not snowing FFS.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath, wan sunshine) walked. It seemed less cold than yesterday.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Entertainment: some sciencey thing followed by PM <click>

5 minutes of "Angel & the badman (2009)" with Lou Diamond Philips playing The Duke's part.

"Mysteries from above": more bollox on Blaze. FFS is there nothing on worth watching?

Sinners was indeed a superb film. HWMBO and I watched it at the cinema.



Morning all, and a happy new year to you and yours

Cloudy but bright with patches of blue poking through. Currently 4 degrees ('feels like' 0) with a high of 6 expected. It'll be a sunshine and clouds kind of day with a slight risk of rain. Barometer down to 1006 mBar.

Sunrise 08:48; Sunset 15:54 GMT

Didn't stay up for any New Year shenanigans. Haven't yet looked at the news to see what dramas occurred.

Afternoon denizens

It’s another grey day here, though no sign of rain. It’s supposed to be windy, making the current 5°C “feel like” -4°, but I see very little shimmying of the trees outside. Anyway, that’s as warm as it’s going to get, whatever it may feel like. The barometers have dropped sharply to 995/1003mB

Went to a brilliant Glow Wild thing yesterday evening with ll3. Downside was her, she kept fiddling with my car radio and switched channels to FM instead of DAB although I asked her to stop. Don't think I can take much more of her.

PS Why do I sometimes see a brief yellow bar at top with <------something at top when I go to CUK?

[ladymuck]

I get that yellow bar too sometimes. I'm sure it's a feature NF won't be carrying forward to the new version.

Bacon bap for lunch

Not sure why the forum keeps logging me out

It’s a bug in the forum software, though I never have got to the bottom of it. But it’s something to do with the way it caches frequently used data along with the database getting overloaded; sometimes, it seems to lose the cache, and one of the side effects is that yellow thing plus the labels in the menu section at the top, under the logo, disappearing

I did get it fixed for a while by getting the people who run the infrastructure to switch to using Memcache. But then the new owner had to move it, and it came back

It's become selfaware & knows you're out to kill it. .

[NickFitz]

Tea has been ribs and chips

This was accompanied by a bit of Police Interceptors

As with everything else it attempts, it’s not doing a very good job
