    Morning all
    Overcast and a bit damp on the walk, but the heavens didn't open until I was in the door 5 minutes, so that's good.
    Cut the grass yesterday evening - more about checking the mower would still start than anything else. Most of what I cut was the tops of weeds.

      Morning.

      Friday.

      Wet. Very wet.

      Grey.

      Sunless.

      20.9 deg in here, 22.4 in the kitchen, 20 in the leanto, 16 out the back.

      1005.5 mBar, 29.69 in Hg, 754.2 Torr, 14.584 psi, (down from 1006 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 17:30 and 17:32, AndyGarbs and Brillo popped in a lot and Brillo still can't spell Millennium.

      Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: skittles, hornbeam, 9 pin vs 10 pin, bar skittles, floppers.

      I hope this chap turns up to take away all these fixit manuals.

        It’s a gloomy grey start, damp after overnight rain, though no more of that is predicted for now; windy too, though not quite as much as it seemed to be late last night. It’s 17°C which “feels like” 12°, and today’s high is only 19°. The barometers continue downwards to 998/1005mB

          I have come to the conclusion that the 6 year old PC needs more RAM. I suspect the max it can handle is 16GB (currently has 8GB on a single stick) so I've ordered another 8GB and will see if that kills or cures. I personally don't like installing unmatched pairs but I'm not shelling out for 2 sticks at today's prices.

            ^^ Yep! £80 for 8GB DDR4 should be illegal.



            Morning all

            Damp following the brief, but very intense, shower that occurred about 08:50. Cloudy but bright. A gentle breeze wafts. Currently 20 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. There may be more showers later. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

            Very tired this morning. It was very windy overnight and things rattling kept waking me up. I was also having the too hot / too cold battle with the duvet (still the 3 tog summer one).

            Anyway, some "billing" for a couple of hours while I await the RAM delivery.

            Later I'm meeting one of my bonkers points running friends for dinner who is over from Germany for a Bon Jovi concert. I remember seeing them live in the 1990's

            The last live gig I went to (other than occasionally watching my brother's band) was Roger Waters The Wall at the O2 in 2011. Took the parentals and we had really good seats. I actually bought tickets for two different performances and sold the spares once family who claimed to be desperate to go appeared less desperate to pay for them. Sold at face value because I'm not a scalper.
