    Feck, the heavens have opened as I'm approaching Hammersmith. With a bit of luck I'll get lucky as usual and it'll stop as I get to Earls Court

      Talk about getting lucky, did I mention I'm in London?

        Rain had eased but then the thunder and lightening started as I walked home. The good Lord opted not to smite me today.

          Tea this evening was M&S battered haddock.

          It was nice enough.

          Followed by some ground rice, and 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.

          Now watching Aerial Britain on Smithsonian which has shown me a variety of Castles (English oppressor kind).

          Bit about Swansea showing Ye Docks and Ye Newe Slough of Desponde.

          Rockfield Studios now.

          Now we're in the Brecon Beacons.

          Followed Laugharne and Dylan Thomas.

          Ty Coch Castle, a mediaeval folly.

          Now Tintern Abbey via Aberystwyth.

              i was, on the other hand, rained upon mightily both on my way To ye olde publicke house, but also Back again.

              bugrit bugrit bugrit.

              a nice bowl of lamb stew from the freezer, and some flatbread, with a nice rioja has taken the edge off, somewhat.

              so all is again well in soggy sarf herts.

                Fairly clear skies here now, meaning the temperature is plummeting - down to 10°C out there already, and heading down to 4° by dawn

                And tomorrow's not getting any better than 12°. I need to pop into town during the day, so at least I won't overheat if I walk it

                  Yes, well that’s the other thing. 20 minute consultation with him today retails at £250, so I’m guessing surgery will be that x10.

                  Maybe I’ll get discount cause I know his wife.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    if you know her in the biblical sense, - good luck with that, too.

                      This evening I watched, on BBC iPlayer, episode 1 of Maps: Power, Plunder and Possession (available until 3am Sunday). Much of it already known to me, about how maps are generally political and very much of the making of the person who commissioned them.

                      Very slight hat tip at the end to the cluster**** that became Iraq and co when a bigoted Brit rode roughshod over the concerns of the local leaders about borders and drew a few red lines over middle East, thus consigning us to war and strife in that region for ever more...grrrr....
