    Morning.

    Monday.

    Grey.

    Damp.

    Wanly sunny.

    Misty.

    21.3 deg in here, 21.8 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto, 16 out the back.

    1003.5 mBar, 29.6 in Hg, 752.7 Torr, 14.55 psi, (up from 998 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 12:29 and 13:28, AndyGarbs, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and vetran popped in, with MrMarkyMark down to his last 4 pack of bogroll. .

    Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: what did the Black Death ever do for us? Why the villages on the chalk disappeared whilst the villages on the lower lands didn't. Visited Knowlton Henge & church. The pond he visits with Ghost in the opening sequence is at Ashmore in Dorset. Ain't the interweb good. . It's a dewpond, which led to yet more twisty passages. No dwarf person of restricted height yet.

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

    Washing frenzy started, which should induce the return of the deluge in about 20 minutes or so.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about ADHD and autism.

    Dashcam bollox. S3 E1. Missed bits of that due to pegging out stuff on the line.

    Shirts in off the line & duly met the iRon, now airing upstairs along with the tea towels.

    A mug of coffee was required after all the day's exertions.

    The last of the washing met the iRon & is airing upstairs.

    Jack Hargreaves Old Country. You can never have too much about The Black Death. . Dozed a bit through that, I seem to be .

    Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. I rather enjoy this version of it. Entertainment: PM. UFO Bollox on Blaze.

    Speaking of which, S12 of the Oak Island nutjobbery returns on the 7th.

    Bab5 S3 E16 "War without end": Sinclair returns (briefly).

    Maigret's Mistake (Cremer).

    Secrets in the Dark, though my tolerance for this particular brand of Blazian bollox seems to be wearing very thin. Chinese grave with bone flute & strange marks on leg bones. Trieste, Italy: copper dagger found in grave. Altamura, Italy: early neanderthal skull covered with calcite: 130k - 170k years old. Looked really freaky. Probably fell down a sink hole & starved. Australia, Clogs cave, Victorian alps: 10k & 12k sticks suggesting that Aborigine practices were strongly conserved since they were doing much the same sort of thing in the 19th C. Curse stick.

    Thankfully the last one: the oak island nutjobs are back next week but Maigret is on at the same time so they are tulip out of luck.

    Terminator: dark fate. Curiously there was a thing on Airrang TV (Korean news) about quantum computing: apparently the future is not written it's up to generation Z. . That's it, we're ****ed.

      Morning denizens

      I was awoken by the sound of very heavy rain a couple of times in the night. But it’s sunny and Simpsonesque at the moment; windy though, and going to be quite changeable. It’s 15°C and expected to reach 20°, albeit briefly, with the barometers steady at 996/1004mB

      I see I neglected to sign out last night, which I blame on tiredness. So for the record, other viewing during the day had been wildlife stuff, including a film in which David Attenborough told the life story of Jumbo, the elephant who now lends his name to so many things that are bigger than other things. And I had expected to finish To Each This World but I’d been led astray: it’s printed on quite thin, though good quality, paper, and the pages are relatively large. So the upshot is that after last night’s reading, I still have around a hundred pages to go which is probably equivalent to, say, a hundred-and-twenty pages in a regular-size paperback

        Afternoon all

        Sunny with lumps of fluff out one window. Grey cloud out another. Light breeze. Damp from overnight precipitation. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 22 expected. Barometer up a bit to 1011 mBar.

        Sunrise 06:12; Sunset 19:50 BST

        No plans for the day.As is right and proper for a bank holiday.

              Rain must have been really rainy last night, little stream at bottom of my garden was full of water. Been tearing me hair out trying to find why my business accounts don't add up. Damn waste of time, if my sister wasn't so keen I'd close it down to save myself the hastle.

                Mattress topper and pillow protectors in the wash

                It went a bit gloomy and there was, apparently, some drizzle. But now it’s brightened up again

                  Pork steaks with chips and beans for tea

                  Accompanied by another episode of Netflix’s homicide series, about an American car racing bloke and his wife who were murdered outside their house in a fancy gated community in LA in the late 1980s

                    Still not quite at the end of To Each This World because it’s building to a really exciting and intriguing ending, and I don’t want to rush through it half-thinking about needing to get up for work tomorrow

                    Speaking of which: Tuesday tomorrow

                    Goodnight all

                      It’s a sunny start with some wisps of cloud here and there. No rain expected! Currently 12°C with an expected high of 21°; the barometers are up at 1007/1015mB

                      I pressed the summer duvet into service last night, being the first time with anything more than a duvet cover for at least a couple of months. Soon be time for the autumnal one!

                      Speaking of which: happy autumn to the meteorologists (though not yet to sun worshippers and pagans)!
