Lunch has been Heinz tomato soup with toast

Quite sunny out, but there’s a lot of cloud and the trees are shimmying a lot

Old fart Majongy thing this morning. I came last for the seciod week running. GRUMP! Emailed a neighbour with a copy of a photo I took at village art exhibition because it looked so like her. Turned out it was, she posed for the artist but never received a copy. Printed one out and took it to her this morning. Portrait, not nude unfortunately.

Another week done!

Though I’ll log onto Teams briefly tomorrow afternoon, as there’s a short meeting to say farewell to the other dev

I was considering doing the shopping this evening but it’s Viz week which involves going to Big Sainsbury’s, so I think I’ll leave it till tomorrow morning

Made it to Cádiz over an hour late thanks to late running trains. Now wondering if the train we've booked back next week needs to be changed to an earlier time.

Tea has been sausages with chips and beans

I keep buying sausages to make a sausage casserole, then not feeling like sausage casserole when they need to be eaten

This was accompanied by the rest of last night’s Police Interceptors

[NickFitz]

I finished reading XPD, in which - as predicted - nobody ended up getting what they wanted, except perhaps the head of MI6

Goodnight all

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Damp.

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

Verging on chilly in here at 15.6 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.

1004.5 mBar, 29.663 in Hg, 753.4 Torr, 14.57 psi, (up from 1002.5 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 27th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, BR14, LM, NF, openstrike, WTFH, and I popped in, with NF trundling the bins back in.

Mediocre night's sleep again with the knee doing its best to piss me off, in which it succeeded.

Dozed in the chair again after getting up.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine and cold wind: took 3.5 miles before I was warm enough to undo my jacket, and that's with an extra layer on.

Took umbrella because a) it rained a little before I went out, and b) in case the knee really played up and I would need it to stagger back.

11 orchids counted on the canal bank, with 12 orchids in next door's lawn. Seem to be more every year.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about white hetero privilege. Tedium personified. Oh. Wait a minute: they're now talking about ladies liking watching male gay porn. Wasn't that a thing in an ep of "Red Dwarf"? Might have been the one where alternate Lister is a laydee and just as rough as the this universe edition and suggests it to this Lister, to his horror. I think that was the ep where he got pregnant.

Forgot to turn the fan heater off before my walk so it's rather warmer in here than previously.

Well there's inneresting: actual noon by the sun in Cadiz happens at 14:15 or so, Berlin time. .

Book.

Dozed through DSOTM off "Pulse" and "Comfortably Numb" off "Delicate sound of thunder".

Tea: chicken in white sauce. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. <click>.

Blazian bollox: "UFOs: the lost evidence". Beam me the feck up, Mr Scott. .

Something about Egyptian mummies.

The News Quiz.

Bit of the BTCC in the wet. It was red flagged since it was rather more like rallying than circuit racing. .

Taggart S11 E3,4,5 being the last eps with Mark McManus.

Morning denizens

It’s rather grey, though there’s some blue sky to the north and west - I haven’t checked whether it's arriving or departing. There was a fair bit of rain off and on yesterday evening and maybe even overnight, and the air is still damp. Today’s expected to be mostly cloudy but brighter occasionally. It’s 7°C which “feels like” 4°, the expected high is 12°, and the barometers are up a bit at 995/1003mB

[WTFH]

Morning all

TFIF, etc.
CBS, etc.
Roof is on shed. Tonight (or maybe tomorrow), the felt will go on the roof, then the solar panel.

Morning all, greetings from Cádiz, local time 11:51

Sunny with occasional wisps. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer at 1013 mBar.

Sunrise 07:18; Sunset 21:25 CEST

Currently sitting in Parque Genoves having a coffee in the sunshine.

After breakfast had a call from gig2 saying that the contract will end at the end of June (i.e. not be renewed). Not surprised as there's so little work to do, I struggle to justify what little time I do bill.
