Lunch earlier was some leftover crispy duck. And tea has been ribs and chips

This was accompanied by a new episode of 24 Hours in A&E which I noticed had quietly sidled onto All4 when it thought nobody was looking

Tonight in Pixie, her artistic career is looking up after several years of struggle, with an exhibition of her “music paintings” (she had synæsthesia so would listen to music and draw the visions it evoked) selling well at Stieglitz’s gallery in New York

Very windy out there tonight. Are the equinoctial gales coming early this year?

Monday again tomorrow. At least I’ve got some vaguely interesting stuff to muck around with

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start with a scattering of clouds, and last night’s wind has dropped, though there’s still a breeze. It’s getting cooler: currently 15°C but the day’s high will only be 20°, and it’ll mostly stay below that for the rest of the week. It’s likely to rain tonight, too. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1010mB

Damply damp.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: mobile sheep dip using cooper flydip bhc, which, it turns out, is Lindane, now banned. "Turnouts" as in horse & carriage/pony & trap etc. Battlesden Carts (of which he has two). The reason why The Brougham carriage was always black: if it wasn't black it wasn't allowed into Buck House following the demise of Albert, everything being black for the next 40 years or so.

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

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Thing on R4 about autism & ADHD. Probly applies to a fair few of the assembled congregation. .

Dashcam bollox.

Shopping trip to that Tesco: 38 out 204 back, done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country. I wonder if those sheep dipping chaps had problems in later life.

Morning all

Overcast. Damp. Misty type rain that gets you properly wet. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24, I disagree) with a high of 21 expected. No idea if the rain will continue as the weather app doesn't know it's currently happening. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

Sunrise 06:25; Sunset 19:34 BST

Easy billing morning - sitting in on a monthly meeting, no input needed. Taking Mum to the opticians this afternoon.

Another old fart meet up at a posh local house this afternoon. Probably just messing about with some more fencing this morning.

I've got no idea what's going on with this forum now. Pages simply won't load in Safari; they just get stuck on the request. But in Chrome, it's fine - much faster than usual, if anything

That’s odd - for some reason, my laptop had switched to the 4G backup wi-fi. Switched back to the proper one and it’s fine

A bit overcast.
Need to remember to put the garden waste bins out tonight.
