the very realistic depiction of life in Manchester at that time also makes me wonder how my life might have turned out if we’d stayed up in Liverpool during the 1970s rather than moving down south. Not the same, for sure, and probably not as well

The worlds of If indeed. The Road not Taken & all that.. Poetically Frosty innit.

Morning.

Saturday. WWIII day.

Dry.

Dark grey one side, hints of blue sky the other.

Sunless.

NotSoChilly in here at 14.2 deg, 13. something in the kitchen (thermometer increasingly borked), 10 in the leanto (good old alcohol).

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi (up from 1006 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 18th of March 2020 BR14, LM, NF, WTFH and I popped in, NF was cooking stuff whilst LM's HWMBO was railing at the tv where some cooking programme was in progress, whereas I was watching T:Genysis and found it oker than T4 had proved to be.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. :.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: MoneyBox wondering why Crapita are so called. 'Tis obvioius I'd have thunk.

News Quiz. It'll miss out on the latest doom & gloom. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Today's shock horror discovery: not content with shutting the Neath branch of M&S after 99 years, they've decided to shut the much larger Swansea M&S after 123 years.

WTF? The options thereafter are a trek to Llanelli (free on the bus) or on the train to that Cardiff. I'd better buy several years worth of socks & shoes before they close. FFS.

Three eps of "World from above" nonsense on that Blaze: dozed quite happily through all of them.

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: 18 o'clock news: largely the Orange Moron and his demented doings.

Scotland Yard "Evidence in Concrete (1960)".

Some bollox about the missing colony of Roanoke of 1587.

Afternoon denizens

It’s cloudy with gaps allowing for sunny spells out, and drying after a very rainy night. There’s a bit of a breeze again, so the current 8°C (which is also the high for the day) “feels like” 3°. The barometers are optimistic though, being up to 1005/1013mB

The worlds of If indeed. The Road not Taken & all that.. Poetically Frosty innit.

Indeed! Always a source of interesting reflection and introspection

…I was watching T:Genysis and found it oker than T4 had proved to be.

I though that one was good - a lot better than some of the other disowned ones

I fancied a burger for tea tonight, but Five Guys in town unexpectedly shut down late last year - it was just a few days after I last ordered from there, I think. There’s another one, but it’s right across the other side of the city on the outer ring road. So I decided to give Burger King a try. It was perfectly OK, though nothing special, and they don’t go mad with the fries the way Five Guys do

That looks like fun! I'll pencil it in for next year

It was. And sadkingbilly is right. It's a cacophony. That's why I like it - utter chaos.

But a guy had a heart attack just after it all started at 4am on monday. A young lad I know was right next to him and looked after him until the ambulance arrived. Even with the crowds, it only took ten minutes. The local cops posted about it on facebook and I asked how it went - turns out the guy had a full recovery. So that was nice.

Evening all, greetings from Krakow

Dry and bright when we arrived. Currently 4 degrees and the high was 14. Barometer at 1023 mBar.

Sunrise 06:26; Sunset 17:20 GMT

HWMBO and I had a very pleasant dinner at a local restaurant. Absolutely stuffed and much appreciated the 10 minute walk back to our hotel in the cool air afterwards.

You do get about a lot lm. Just a woodland volunteery thing for me this morning followed by walk with ll1 round one of usual old places. Quite sunny. Another woodland volunteer thing tomorrow, not sure if I'll bother. Walk with younger ll3 on Monday.

[NickFitz]

Lots of wildlife stuff on the box today, as usual

This evening, I started reading The Third Reich: A New History by Michael Burleigh (published in 2000, so not actually new any more). It seems to take an interesting approach to the subject, but I’ll probably read it a bit at a time as it’s nearly a thousand pages long!

Goodnight all
