Morning denizens

Another grey day

Currently 13°C with a possible 19° later, maybe a bit brighter towards the end of the afternoon, no rain predicted, barometers fairly steady at 1023/1031mB. Could be worse, I suppose

Morning all

Dull and overcast but dry. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 19 later and possibility of the sun coming out. Unlikely to rain. Barometer dropped a little to 1028 mBar.

Today's Kantar diary fact is:
Aged 64, swimmer Diana Nyad becomes the first person to swim from Cuba to the United States without a shark cage 2013

(begs the question: how do you swim any distance whilst in a shark cage?)

Morning.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cold at 19 deg in here.

1026 mBar, 30.29 in Hg, 71% RH.

Thursday.

I thought it was Thursday for part of yesterday but it turned out I was wrong.

It was chilly enough yesterday to require a jacket on the stagger up the hill.

It's colder today.

Walk walked.

It's a bit chilly out there.

Nothing to Declare UK: a chap with cash is hassled by the revenuers on exit.

Fecking HMRC bastards.

Can he prove he's paid The Right Amount of Tax on it.

Bastards.

NZ customs thing: a load of steel from Oz being fumigated for redbacks.

A lady with 66 gms of ganja busted.

Canadian customs thing: nothing of any great innerest other than some poor septic bastard with multiple health problems & $3400 to his name refused entry in case he needs to use the health system.

Like the chap whose idea of a souvenir from his Thailand holiday was a kitchen sink.

The revenuers couldn't believe it.

In other unbelievable news: there's blue patches in the sky. It must be the End of Days.

Tea: chilli con carne with rice, some sliced peaches, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment:

Discovering Harvey Keitel.

Cold War & Cinema E1: 1945 to 1960: The Third Man etc.

Freecell: going backwards.

Elementary S7 E4: "Red light green light" on Pick.

Skin A&E on 5*+1.

Prospect - a depressing movie about space mining - when we take to the stars will it be all 1950 sputnik chic?

Killers Anonymous - mediocre but watchable.

The Virginian - a good old fashioned western with gun fighting, moral preaching and rustling. Kept looking for the Duke , Ron Perlman filled in.

Currently watching "an interview with god" - looks quite good.

Sag Paneer & eggs for breakfast - what else do you do with leftovers?

Slightly hectic day today

Lunch was herby chicken, tomato and lentil soup with multisided bread

I wish autocorrect would stop changing "multiseed" to "multisided"

[xoggoth]

Good thing I didn't program autocorrect or every word would be converted to an obscenity.

Walk briskly walked, green and red rings closed

I saw a big dragonfly; it came swooping out of the gate of one of the big houses sitting in fairly extensive grounds that have been converted to old people's homes

[NickFitz]

Trundling of the recycling bin was accomplished this afternoon, along with the disposal of my own recycling therein

[xoggoth]

Exchanged a couple of emails with my "date".
