        Another mix of telly tonight, starting with The Crash Detectives whilst dining

        Then on to Inside the Factory on the subject of malt loaf, with the cool aside on LEO, the Lyons Electronic Office

        Next, Air Crash Investigation on the crash in Russia that killed the president of Poland and his entourage on the anniversary of the Katyn Massacre

        And finally a couple of S4 episodes of The Repair Shop (shortened versions). I don't know if it was edited out in the shortening process, but I noticed that despite his avowed intention of giving it a try, we didn't see any actual footage of the eighty-year-old attempting to ride his restored penny farthing

        Oh, and the recycling bin got trundled earlier, though I almost forgot

        Goodnight all

              Morning all

              Cloudy sunshine today. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 11) and that's the high for the day. Wind has eased up and no precipitation is expected.

              Yesterday we went to Sliema which was interesting in the gale force winds that prevented us taking a nice stroll along the promenade. The evening was spent in first a mezcaleria and then a gin and tapas bar.
