Morning denizens

It got very windy late last night, and the weather app was proclaiming that it would snow overnight! It was still asserting that snow was happening, right then, when I awoke this morning, despite it being obvious from a glance out of the window that there was nothing more than wintry drizzle out there

So no snow, but it’s a grey, cold, drizzly start, and expected to continue that way all day. The wind seems to have backed off a bit but it’s still enough to make the current 2°C “feel like” -8°; the forecast high is 6°. And the barometers are back down to 990/998mB

Morning.

Sunday.

Wet.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 12.3 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto.

997 mBar, 29.44 in Hg, 747.8 Torr, 14.46 psi, (down from 1008 last night), 59% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 16th of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, and scruff popped in, LM remarked on how quiet the airport was becoming and how quiet M&S was as she wended her weary way home, whereas NF hadn't noticed any change in the amount of traffic in that Leicester and I just had my tea.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: book.

Sun came out: Walk (abbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine, after which it got darker & darker, impressive clap of thunder, got home in time to avoid the hailstorm and more thunder.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

Tea: baked beans with baked spud, toast, and scrambled egg. Nice enough. Entertainment: the poetry crap <click>.

Cocked up the viewing for this evening: Oak island nutjobbery repeat is at 19:00 and the Ice thing is at 20:00, which is unfortunate as I watched the nutjobbery last Monday and I'll be watching Sergeant Cork in preference to the other crap.

Sergeant Cork S3 E4 "The amateur spy". Amusing enough.

British History's biggest fibs with Lucy Worsley: the wars of the roses. E1/3.

Morning all

Dull and very wet. Raining. Currently 4 degrees ('feels like' 1) with a high of 8 expected. Rain set to continue until mid afternoon when it may turn to snow. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.

Sunrise 07:15; Sunset 17:16 GMT

Today I mark the commencement of my 6th decade of existence. Although I suppose technically that may have been last year seeing as age is a lagging indicator.

[ladymuck]

Thank you 😊

Yeh, happy B day LM. Much better to be 60 than not far off from 80.

Tea: ribeye steak with fried onions and chips

The sky suddenly cleared towards sunset, so it brightened up a bit

It’s going to be a cold week though, below zero most nights

Not there yet! 60 would mark the end of my 6th decide, not the start 🤣

[xoggoth]

Oh yeh, misread it. Happy whatever it is anyway young lady.
