    Morning all
    The overnight cloud is burning off to reveal blue skies and sunshine. I think it was the first double digit morning walk this year, as it was 10.5oC when we went out.

      Morning denizens

      Another day starting with a sort of high, thin, hazy overcast which will thicken later and possibly produce some drizzle. Mild enough at 12°C with 15° planned for later, and the barometers are bouncing back at 1004/1012mB

        Morning all

        Sunshine and cloud this morning. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 18 later. No rain expected. Barometer up to 1015 mBar.

        The final migration kicks off today, just doing the sync checks and reminding people they need to have signed their migration plans.

          Chevy Corvair? Rear engined with swing axles, a design shared with the original VW Beetle.

          So Stirling Moss thought it was ok.

          Morning.

          Dark.

          Dank. Really really dank, as dank as dank can be.

          Grey. Exceptionally grey.

          Misty to verge on foggy. Can't see the other side of the valley there's tidy then boyo.

          Sunless.

          Slightly less chilly in here at 14.3 deg, possitively balmy.

          Wednesday apparently, but it feels like a Thursday.

          Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the misty grey gloom of the morning.

          It rained upon me towards the end, but nothing much to speak of.

          Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt toast, bramble jelly sandwich, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

          Entertainment: Y&Y instructing the R4 audience on the financial returns available through loansharking.

          Freecell score: 89%, running average 84%.

          Tea: liver, sans bacon, with onion gravy, some pear halves, a yog or two, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

          Entertainment: Discovering Julia Roberts.

          Farscape S1 E8 "That old black magic". The magic one.

          Some tosh on BBC4 about Stonehenge that I've seen before & "Watched" whilst Freecelling: 100%, running average 92%.

                Lunch is tomato and red pepper soup with a slice of toasted and buttered sourdough bread.

                  Lunch was a pork and apple sauce bap (wholemeal) with a bag of plain crisps

                  I'm also getting that Thursday feeling, what with tomorrow being Friday as far as work is concerned

                    Walk briskly walked, green ring closed

                    Still pretty cloudy out, but the rain came and went again earlier

                    The car on the telly is a Land Rover Series 2

                      Last of the beef scouse for tea, with a mix of seedy bloomer and wholemeal bread as there's assorted bits of them cluttering up the freezer

                      Accompanied by a new episode of Police Interceptors
