    In The Dark Forest, it seems the people of Earth may have underestimated the technological capabilities of the approaching alien fleet

        Morning denizens

        Grey day out, and not expected to brighten up later. It’s 7°C with an expected high of 13°, so back to what it’s often been for quite a while now. The barometers are up though, at 1009/1017mB

            Morning all
            Light clouds earlier meant that sunrise was not as obvious as recent days. It's burning off now and looks like it could be quite pleasant.
            One of the nearby villages is building a "dead hedge" and they are going round houses taking old wood. This is good news for us as I have about 3 bonfires' worth of wood that is too big for our shredder.

              Wot? NAT's pressed a button again? .

              Morning.

              Monday apparently.

              Dry.

              Wanly sunny.

              Highish tide.

              NotQuiteSoChilly in here at 14 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

              1016 mBar, 30 in Hg, 762 Torr, 14.736 psi, (up from 1014.5 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

              Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, LM, and NF popped in, with NF in the fortunate position of not needing to live in a box for the next 12 weeks (according to Bunter's government diktat).

              Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

              Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about something. Noon o'clock news: TACO. Y&Y on LPG. <click>

              Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wanly sunny greyish gloom. Not exactly over warm this afternoon.

              Getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

              2 lawns duly mown and a shower duly taken, having raised somewhat of a sweat whilst so engaged.

              Tea: chilli con carne with rice etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. TACO appears again. .

              Blaze: skinwalker ranch bollox. Suitably weird. Cold spots above a bonfire. No good shall come of this.

              5USA+1: NCIS S22 E10 "Baker's Man". Meh. Meringues go better with coke. .

              Goodness me, I finally had a google for "Foner's scrapyard" in Neath, having dimly recalled that it was somewhere close to the castle. Never realised that Mr Foner was related to Madame Foner of the Arcade in Swansea where she sold (and still sells) corsetry etc. (established 1901). Dunno when Mr Foner established his metal recycling business.

              Seems quite odd to think that a mediaeval Norman castle was adjacent to a scrapyard, but that was Neath in those days.
