    Morning.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Chilly in here at 16 deg.

    1024 mBar, 20.238 in Hg, 768.1 Torr, 14.85 psi, (up from 1023 last night), 72% RH.

    Saturday.

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the warm sunshine. Remarkably close out there.

    Lunch: baked potatoes with cheese & baked beans, a red corner yog, another yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    Entertainment: Money box kindly informing me how much my pensions aren't worth.

    <taps screen: is this thing fecked again or wot? Have we have WWIII & no one told me? Just asking like. >

    Entertainment: Freecell score: 90%, running average 84.53%.

    Ancient Alien nutters: Stonehenge: slept through much of this.

    Ancient Alien nutters: Manna from heaven: blood sucking aliens, etc.

    Tea: spag with fiery bol, a yog, some fruit cocktail, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    Ancient Alien nutters: tattoos and body modification: the one with the nutjob who had multiple NFC chips embedded in his hands, skin modifications: temperature sensing tattoos etc. And on cue, Musk turns up with Yet Another of his demented ideas.

    Ancient Alien nutters: Storming Area 51: sounds like a Bad Idea to me wot with all those guns around: which proved to be mildly inneresting what with bits of SR71 & U2 & the like. The nutters got as far as the gate & very wisely stopped.

    Read a little more of the latest tome.

    Then, in a fit of insanity, played Freecell: score: 82% (lost 6 in succession), running average 84.53 and a bit less than earlier%.

      Afternoon denizens

      Nice day here, though with a lot of white fluffiness other and yon. Currently 18°C and maybe stretching to 19° in a bit, and the barometers are up again at 1019/1027mB

        I see the Valiant Lady is now in Cadiz, which is handy for Jerez where the sherry comes from

          We have previously passed through Jerez on the train from Sevilla to Cádiz but an actual visit is still on the to-do list. Along with Sanlucar de Barrameda.

          There is a very fabulous bar in Cádiz called Taberna La Manzanilla where one can sample many varieties of sherry for between €1 and €3 for a small glass. You can buy bottles of your favourites to take away, available in sturdy packaging that will survive the journey home.

                We left Cádiz about an hour or so ago and are now en route to Gibraltar. I'm hoping to be awake for the passing through the Strait of Gibraltar.

                    And very nice too

                    They haven't put their prices up, unlike a lot of other takeaways. Bet they will when they get their next gas bill though

                      Coming back from the Chinese, I was stopped by a young lady with an address written on a bit of paper, asking me for directions. I said "Oh, hang on, let me just try and remember which road that is" but realised as I said it that I knew exactly which road it was, because I lived there thirty years ago, two doors along from the house she was looking for
