Just watching yesterday's "Dave Takes It On" on YouTube (old man who talks about EVs and charging) and he's at NickFitz 's big Sainsbury's.

Tea: lamb steaks with chips and beans
This was accompanied by the final part of the Netflix thing about Three Mile Island. The capitalists got their way, as usual

I read more of The Three-Body Problem, which I’m enjoying - the story seems to be developing in an interesting direction
And I also got a bit of SwiftUI stuff working that I’d thought would be more complicated than it turned out to be
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
The weather app insists it’s cloudy out, but in reality there’s quite a lot of cirrus and cirrostratus with plentiful gaps of blue sky between, so it’s actually sunny right now with occasional brief spells of shade. Apparently it’s going to get windy, leading to the claim that the current 6°C “feels like” 2°, and presumably the expected high of 11° will be similarly attenuated. The barometers are down a little at 1003/1011mB

Morning.
Tuesday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Grey.
Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, 1 something in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.
1010 and a tad mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.7 Torr, 14.65 psi, down from 1012 last night.
Meanwhile on the 19th of March 2020 NF twinged his back cooking tea, then wheeled out the recycling wheelie bin, LM, and I popped in, whilst on the 20th Brillo, WTFH, and BR14 started the day off by popping in.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine, grey gloom & picking with rain.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The 11:45 R4 thing again, this time with Bliar. TWATO.
First cut of the big lawn, during which the picking with rain turned into drizzle but done it got. The compost heap is now well over 6 feet.
Lots of moss: I can see another champion year for moss disposal & I haven't shifted last year's yet.
Entertainment: Ancient Aliens bollox about Gobekli Tepe. Remarkable construction for 12,000 years ago. Showed stonehenge: 9000 years later. Easter Island: 11,000 years later.
Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. More bollox, this time Orange
PBS: Armstrong. 1202 alarm. One small step.
Digging up Britain with Alice Roberts.
Aliens bollox on Blaze. <click>
Book.
Aliens bollox on Blaze. Mildly inneresting but still mostly bollox.
Roswell 75 on Blaze. <click>

Lunch has been a cold sausage bap (white)
It’s rather Simpsonesque out now, though it still seems to be a bit chilly, judging by the fresh air coming from the open kitchen window
