    Morning all

    Sunny with hazy wisps. Breezy. Currently 10 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 13 expected. Rain a possibility. Barometer down to 1005 mBar.

    Sunrise 05:13; Sunset 20:44 BST

    HWMBO and I are at Heathrow Terminal 4 awaiting our flight to Paris and onwards to Seville. Tucking into scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns in the Plaza Premium lounge. The Air France lounge hasn't been finished yet.

      It’s a grey start with traces of overnight rain, though there’s a patch of blue to the WNW that might move our way as the wind is from that direction. But it’s expected to get windier and cloudier, with the likelihood of rain varying between 30% and 50% for every hour from 11am to nightfall. Though it's 8°C, it “feels like” 1°, and the expected high is only 11°; the barometers are retreating downwards at 990/998mB

        Morning all
        Light ran at 5:30, then it dried up until just after we got in from our walk.
        Shed walls were put up last night, and the plan is to get the roof trusses on this evening, then the roof on tomorrow night.

          Lunch has been a corned beef butty

          This made use of the white load baked last night, which turned out really well

          Heavy rain for a bit this morning, and it remains changeable out there. It brightened up for a couple of minutes just now, then immediately went back to very gloomy

            Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

            The weather’s been very changeable today, including a thunderstorm this afternoon! It seems to be turning reasonably pleasant out there now though

              This evening’s viewing was a bit of a new Police Interceptors

              And later I read more of XPD but didn’t quite get to the end. British, American, and Russian intelligence are all treading on each other’s toes, and I daresay it’ll end up being a fiasco for all of them

              Thursday tomorrow!

              But it’s also my last day working with the other dev

              Goodnight all

                Morning.

                Thursday apparently.

                Damp.

                Grey.

                Hints of blue sky.

                Sunless.

                Cooler still in here at 16 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

                1001 mBar, 29.56 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (unchanged), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

                Meanwhile on the 27th of March 2020 openstrike, LM, and NF popped in, as did I, whereas eek popped in a lot on a bug hunt and my purchasing mistake of gluten free wheat free spag was unpleasantly unpleasant and totally free of any taste whatsoever.

                Sleep, such as it was, proved to be intermittent, but a weird dream managed to slip in there just before waking.

                The Knee is proving impervious to drugs, which is irritating.

                Raining.

                Sun's out.

                Doze taken whilst "listening" to something on R4 about The Sahara. Followed by something about something else.

                Mug of coffee.

                  It’s cloudy but with some blue patches towards the west, and there seems to have been more rain overnight. It’s expected to stay cloudy all day, and the breeze must persist as the current 6°C “feels like” 3°; the day’s high will be 12°. The barometers are steady at 990/998mB

                    Morning all 5:30 dog walk dodged the showers, then when we got back in I moved the 14 shed roof panels down the garden in preparation for them to go on tonight, if I get the last two trusses built.

                    Ready for a rest.

                      Morning all, Sevilla calling, local time 10:26

                      Sunny with fluff. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 21) with a high of 26 expected . Barometer at 1014 mBar

                      Sunrise 07:16; Sunset 21:25 CEST

                      Our journey yesterday was uneventful despite some delays leaving CDG. Our hotel is in a good location and the breakfast is proving helpful at soaking up the wine, sherry and gin consumed last night. HWMBO was served the hugest measure of brandy after dinner because the bottle was close to being finished. Dinner was absolutely superb with such good service, I left a tip.

                      This afternoon we take the train to Cádiz.
