      In Dawn, Lilith has been stuck with the job of deciding which humans to awake from suspended animation to form the first group to be sent back to Earth, and is very much aware that one of the major problems she faces is that many people are arseholes

      Goodnight all

        Morning.

        Friday.

        Damp.

        Blue sky.

        Misty.

        Sunny.

        19 deg in here, 19.8 in the kitchen, 17.5 in the leanto, 14.5 out the back.

        1011.5 mBar, 29.87 in Hg, 758.7 Torr, 14.67 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 4th of April 2020, between 13:35 and 15:34, Brillo, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, scruff and WTFH popped in.

        Entertainment: Old Country with Jack Hargreaves: mostly a driving trial with Joe the pony and a cart. Cast iron fire insurance plaque.

        Woke at 03:50 again & read book until returning to the land of nod. Curiously the dream before waking involved working in septicland and receiving a parcel (which had been opened) that contained a pcb I'd designed somewhere else. Very odd. I wonder if it conflated the closing of the place I worked from 94 to 97, my Jonah effect finally confining that place to history. WTF I was doing in septicland is anyone's guess.

        Walk (abbreviated, towpath, 3 miles) walked in the greyish gloom of the morning. Took umbrella just in case.

        Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The food programme. Pellagra for the win!

            Morning all

            Sunny with that pebbly-looking fluff. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer steady at 1019 mBar.

            Sunrise 06:31; Sunset 19:25 BST

            My brother is coming back about lunchtime. The bed has been stripped and is airing. Mum's bed was done yesterday. My bed at home was stripped before I left, so I'll be making that when I get home. That'll be three beds made in two days! I would get a job as a chambermaid but I think my output would need to be much higher.

              it’s a partly sunny, partly wispy day. Likely to get cloudier later though. Mild for the time of year, I think, though who knows what normal weather is nowadays: currently 16°C and aiming for 20°, with the barometers up a touch at 1007/1014mB

              I slept well, possibly assisted by having changed the bed yesterday, which included switching to the two-thirds duvet. I also closed the big bedroom window, as once again it was getting very windy after nightfall and more cold air was coming in than I wanted. So I was a bit warmer than the last few nights, when I wasn’t actually cold but was on the cusp
