Tea was brought to me from the Chinese restaurant in town. Their food's only average TBH, but I had an £8 voucher that needed to be used by Monday

Tonight in Pixie, Ms Smith has achieved great popularity among the theatre people - so much so that actress Florence Farr invited her to be initiated into the Order of the Golden Dawn. I wasn’t previously aware that at this time (it’s 1901), A. E. Waite was manager of a Horlicks factory. But I don’t suppose he would have been able to make a living solely from his (frankly rather turgid) books about esoteric matters

Goodnight all

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Sunday.

Damp after overnight rain.

Wanly sunny.

Blue sky in parts, not so blue in other parts.

19.7 deg in here, 20.2 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto, 15 out the back.

1013.5 mBar, 29.93 in Hg, 760.2 Torr, 14.6995 psi, (untapped, but dropped from 1015 when tapped), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 21:02 and 21:49 Brillo posted A Lot, with scruff and NF getting a post in edgeways.

Washing frenzy in progress: 16.8 deg in the salting house. Time will tell if this was a Good Idea.

Cartrefi Cymru: EcoHouses: starts off the CAT in Machynlleth: the first house they built had 450mm of fibreglass insulation and proved too hot to live in, the 2nd one was more reasonable, built to the designs of a German chap: it's on stilts to avoid damp from the ground, of which there, of course, rather a lot in Wales. A chap & chapesse who built one in 1992 to look like a barn conversion: even has a tracking solar power thingie for that extra 20% of output when it's not raining. Plus a more recent one. Last ep.

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment: Dashcam bollox: S2 E3, E4.

Shirts & cottons in off the line & duly met the iRon, now airing upstairs. Even washed my daytime in house jeans, and some scarfs ready for the winter.

Entertainment: Archive Hour (2009): the lost eps of Doctor Who.

Morning all
Trip to the tip later, our gardener filled 4 dumpy bags with prunings yesterday. Will make my first trip this morning and see what the queue is like. Second trip might be straight after, or saved for tomorrow.

3 trips done yesterday - 2 in the morning and one just before they closed. Might have to do a run today as well. It’s amazing how much extra garden waste you generate when you put a new chain on a saw.

Morning denizens

Not so much cloud today and what there is is high and wispy, which I believe presages a change in the weather. It’s mild at 16°C and expected to soar to 24°, with the barometers down a little at 1009/1017mB

The coming week will be cooler though, with rain likely to return

Morning all

Sunny. Blue sky with cloud that looks like pebbles. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1022 mBar.

Sunrise 06:23; Sunset 19:36 BST

Rubbish sleep. Woke around 3 am and dozed off and on for several hours. This morning the local fun run went past and enthusiastic people were cheering the runners along.

In helping Mum find a comb, I found a pot of yoghurt in her dressing table drawer. No idea how long that had been there so into the bin it went.

Finally submitted accounts to HMRC, not managed to submit to Companies Crappy House as says my authentication code is wrong, had to request a new one.

Nice walk with NOT loony7 lady yesterday. Nowt on today but may call in at village club later.
