    You know sleeping with the help is frowned upon in the Kensington set?

            I watched that one the other year

            Tonight's main viewing started with Meet the Chimps, in which several former laboratory animals who have risen to leadership positions in their respective social groups displayed considerably more authority, integrity, and self-discipline than our Prime Minister managed over the course of two hours in Parliament this afternoon - or ever in his entire life, really

            Finally another Air Crash Investigation, this time into the Air Florida 737 that took off from Washington DC one snowy day and almost immediately plummeted down on to a road bridge in the centre of the city, then continued off that into the Potomac, which was completely frozen over at the time, and fell to bits.

              A bit overcast and breezy out, but otherwise mild. There's rain in the air, but none falling.

                Morning.

                Wet.

                Grey.

                Sunless.

                A bit less cold at 13.7 deg in here.

                1024 mBar, 30.24 in Hg, 768 Torr, 14.85 psi, 63% RH.

                Tuesday.

                Patiently awaiting details of the Disappearing Bus Shelter.

                Room 5: Mirror touch Synesthesia: who knew it was a thing?

                TV Times purchased from the post office. Still £2.40.

                Walk (unabbreviated) walked, during which I met The Bird Man who does some sort of survey of the birds in the park, ponds, & res.

                He appears at random intervals, either on a Tuesday or a Thursday morning, dependent on the weather since I won't be up there if it's raining much.

                Lunch: Pukka "All steak" pie with baked beans, bramble jelly sandwich, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                Having seen some rather lovely primroses on the walk, a quick google, to see if that's actually what they were, also brought up "primrose syndrome", one of those paths down which no sensible person would go, the road less travelled & all that.

                Freecell score in the tedious ennui of the afternoon: 88%, running average: 84% (84.34%).

                Entertainment: Bab5 S2 E11 "Alone in the night": no recall of this one at all.

                Tea: Tesco Cap'n Birdseye battered haddock (for a change), some fruit cocktail, a yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                Discovering Omar Sharif.

                Quantum Leap S4 E13 "Temptation Eyes": tv reporter one.

                NCIS LA S11 E22 "Code of conduct".

                The Rookie S1 E18 "Homefront".

                Car SOS S9 E5: Jensen Interceptor. Stone me, rust rust rust and more rust. And a bent bit at the front. :

                Bab5 S2 E12 "Acts of sacrifice".

                  Morning all

                  Hazy sky. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 7) with a high of 14 expected. Cloud cover will increase as the day progresses but unlikely to rain. Barometer steady at 1022 mBar.

                  Planning meeting this morning to see how we can spoon the rest of the migrations in the next two months.

                    You can't because there is 6 months worth of work and only 2 months left?

                      Basically, yes. TPTB decided that something that ought to take 2 years to do properly should be done shoddily in 9 months.
