    Morning denizens

    Rainy grey day again. The wind apparently is still quite windy too, so our 5°C “feels like” -2°; we should be getting 8°, but not until after dark - around nine or ten tonight, in fact, which is also when the rain will go away. The barometers are steady at 973/981mB

    I see I neglected to sign off again last night so, for the record, I decided that after Stalingrad and Berlin, something lighter in tone would make a nice change. Hence the new book is The Jane Austen Project by Kathleen A. Flynn, in which a couple of time travellers return to the early nineteenth century on a mission to snaffle the manuscript of a novel that Ms. Austen destroyed. I do wonder if it will turn out that their real mission is something more, but it’s entertaining enough as it is seeing people of modern sensibilities trying to blend in with Regency society

    I have to head off to do the shopping soon, rain or no rain. I thought it might be Viz week, but the festive break has thrown the timing out and it actually came out last week. So to Big Sainsbury’s I must go!

      Morning all

      Another dull, damp day. Currently 8 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Drizzle expected all day. Barometer up to 984 mBar.

      Sunrise 07:32; Sunset 17:00 GMT

      HWMBO is off home today. He wants to watch NFL things on his huge TV rather than my piddly one and, as it takes place in the wee hours, I'm grateful for the lack of sleep disturbance. He'll be back in just under a week as it's my birthday (a big one!) next Sunday.

      Gig3 confirmed start date on Wednesday. Just getting the contract reviewed before I sign my life away.

        Shopping done!

        Not only did I get Viz, I was also randomly selected for a rescan at the self-scan checkout. And this wasn’t the usual one where they do eight or ten things picked at random out of your bags: this was the Entire Shop Rescan! So I had to go over to the counter where they keep the security-tag-removers and such and she went through every bag. But it was the nice lady who’s been there for years, long before Covid even, and she was very careful not to mix up things from different bags and mess up my System

        Next: lunch
