Sweet and sour pork with fried rice for tea

Accompanying this, a series called Homicide on Netflix which is basically NYPD detectives talking about old cases, the first being the murder of Jennifer Stahl and two of her friends in 2001

Tonight’s reading was more of Parable of the Talents in which their remote community is gradually expanding, though usually because of some hideous tragedy befalling other people

Goodnight all

Morning all
Cloudy! this morning and very humid. No sign of rain.
Walk has been walked.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Grey.

Damp.

Wanly sunny.

22.2 deg in here, 23.2 in the kitchen, 22 in the leanto, 20 out the back.

1013 mBar, 29.9 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 barrydidit, BR14, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, WTFH, and I popped in, whilst on the 2nd of April 2020 (oh, the relief: another day) Brillo popped in along with NF.

Entertainment: Dimbleby waffling on about Harry Dexter White & how he managed to help destroy the British Empire.

On the eve of the 49th renewal the AA subscription was cancelled: only took 20 minutes on the phone.

Walk (abbreviated, 3 miles) walked in the grey gloom & eventual light drizzle. Two conversations.

Irritating parking on the road: one side the pavement covered in parked cars, on the other a delivery truck parked on the pavement & a chap with a perambulator was unable to pass so I marched into the middle of the road & stopped the traffic so he could follow me through. Good deed of the day.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the man thing on R4 <click> Sky Arts Movies E2/4. Noir followed by the sort of movies I don't watch such as "Singing in the Rain" etc.

TPTV: "William Tell" S1 E20 "The shrew (1958)". Not as good as Robin Hood with Richard Green but there you go.

Some minor "gardening": hacking back the brambles: some in next door were 15 feet long, grown since the spring, and thick stemmed with it. Dead headed the roses & hacked back the self planted one that, despite the warnings, failed to give me any flowers whatsoever. I think it's on borrowed time. .

Drains are blocked up the road again. Time for Dynorod aka Welsh Water contractors. Sounds like it'll be that wagon with the long hose pipe again.


Jack Hargreaves Old Country.

UFO bollox on Blaze.

Sunken Ships.

Bab5 S2 E14 "There all the honour lies".

History's most shocking.

Morning all

Cloudy and humid (81% apparently). Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Cloud set to clear as the day progresses. Barometer up to 1021 mBar.

Sunrise 05:23; Sunset 20:54 BST

I have found many musty / dirty towels stashed in Mum's bedroom which are now all getting the hot wash treatment before I put them away in the airing cupboard.

I can't figure out what she's doing with worn clothes, as they don't go into the laundry basket. Short of going through all the drawers and doing a pants inspection, I'm not sure how to deal with that. I'll ask my brother when he's back tomorrow.

Morning denizens

It’s sunny yet also cloudy out, and going to be a hot one: already at 24°C, it’ll reach 28° for much of the afternoon. There’s a bit of a breeze, but not as much as yesterday. The barometers are up a bit at 1007/1015mB

I slept soundly until just before 10am this morning, and awoke feeling refreshed - I think the new drug that was making me so tired must be largely out of my system now

But speaking of getting things out of my system, I still hadn’t got around to dropping off a new piss sample at the GP, though at least I got around to getting the jar for it last Friday; I don’t think they’re open for such things at the weekend, and I forgot about it yesterday morning. So I duly gathered that, and have dropped it off at the surgery - somewhere I feel I’ve visited a lot lately

There was an adult magpie hanging around next to the gate from the park to the surgery which had a vaguely hangdog air about it. Upon closer inspection, its feathers looked rather scruffy. This is the time of year when adults moult, so I think it was just a little embarrassed to be seen out and about in such a state
