Lunch: pâté on toast
Been quite sunny, but it's clouding over now
Just spotted a couple of magpies going into the foliage of one of the dark green fir trees, next to the light green one that a pair nested in last year. Might be the same pair. I'd assumed they were nesting elsewhere this year, but maybe they've just been very circumspect so I hadn't spotted them before

Afternoon.
Wednesday.
Dry but picking with rain.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
Not sunny.
Overcast.
Chilly in here at 13.7 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto, 11 deg in the saltinghouse.
1015 and a tad mBar, 29.9788388 in Hg, 761.46 Torr, 14.724 psi, (unchanged), 77% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Trip to Swansea to pay the CC by cheque at the counter which is what I do for the foreseeable future since they pissed me off.
X7 bus down, X5 bus back.
Shopping trip to Morrisons.
Lunch: what I normally have for breakfast since I don't have breakfast before the trips to Swansea.
Meanwhile on the 19th of September 2019 there was much discussion of seeded breads, including Morrisons "The Best" thick cut sunflower & pumpkin seeded variety, while LM was in that Glasgow busily drinking the remains of the bottle of Bailey's that had sat in the fridge since (presumably) the previous Xmas.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the cold wind & increasingly black clouds. It didn't rain on me but by 'eck it was cold out there: scarf & gloves employed today.
Entertainment: Veronica Mars S1 E12 "Clash of the Tritons". The secret society one wherein our heroine is falsely accused of forging driving licenses and ID cards.
Tea: chicken breast, some random sausages, and some bacon etc. Nice enough.
Turned out the bag of flour (BBE Jan 23) had started growing maggots so it's just met the compost heap. Memo to self: buy the small bag next time, it's no saving if it starts living.
What with the toaster and the cat munchies, and the fatballs I found this morning, there's a lot of life around here.
Entertainment: The Mentalist S2 E15 "Red Herring". The poisoned chef one with Calamity Jane out of "Deadwood".

Morning denizens
Bright sunny start with a clear blue sky, except for some tiny wisps low on the southwestern horizon. The open sky overnight has let temperatures drop rather, though: only 4°C right now, though creeping up to 10° later, assisted by expected cloud from late morning - though that'll be accompanied by something of a breeze, so the "feels like" score might end up much of a muchness. The barometers are up a bit at 1004/1012mBLeave a comment:

Now got it working with a random arrangement of different emojis
No further telly because clearly rings of emojis are a more important way of wasting time. But I did read a few more pages of Julia
Early night now, as I'll probably be woken early by that there sunlight again
Goodnight allLeave a comment:

Now it's sunny with patches of blue sky visible.
Tea has been lamb steaks with chips, peas and gravy
And that was accompanied by an old Police Interceptors for want of me being bothered to find anything else to watch
Furthermore, some bits ofmucking arounddiligent experimentation with SceneKit have been accomplished, leading to this veritable masterpiece

Lunch: leftover pork cutlet on a wholemeal bap with apple sauce, and a bag of plain crisps
Quite Simpsonesque out now, though still a bit of a breeze judging by the shimmying of the foliageLeave a comment:

Bright but cloudy. Dry. Breezy but less enthusiastic than yesterday. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.
Tired. I might expend a bit of energy to see if I can get an appointment with the GP.Leave a comment:
