      Two good pubs within five minutes' walk

      Well, I say that, but one I haven't been in since I lived in that area in the mid-1980s, and the other I was last in around 1999

        Today's text and email warns that crowds in the area are expected to increase from tomorrow onwards, and recommends working from home if possible. That's what comes of putting the office at the other end of the Mall to Buck House, I suppose

          The rain has barely stopped all afternoon.

          Much laundry done, however, and it's all draped about. I have empty washing basket nirvana until bedtime.

            Evening all & congrats NF.

            Today’s dive sites;

            Bachelor beach - usually heaving as it’s one of the few 10m^2 of sandy beach on the island.

            salt pier - another must do site usually heaving. We were one of three trucks when we arrived with 12 there when we surfaced.

            Bari/house reef - becoming a favourite due to ease of location and accessibility

              Tea: pork chops (cooked just right by the Remoska), chips and beans

                  That looks interesting, thanks

                  The car earlier was another repeat, this time of a Fiat Panda 4x4. Currently SORN, but its MOT is good until January. And that was followed by more of the opal hunters doing their usual scratting around

                  Then a couple of new episodes of 24 Hours in A&E - only available for a month, though I assume they'll end up on All4 in near-perpetuity eventually

                  Time for bed now. I ought to get a good night's sleep, as tomorrow I need to make up the time spent ditzing around with the estate agent this afternoon

                  I hadn't previously noticed in the property description that it has a "digital shower". I assume that means it's either on or off?

                  Goodnight all

                    It means they've found a way of making a rotary dial 100 times more complex...

                      Sunny start out ("foggy" according to the weather app) but we start out below 10°C for the first time in a good while, to wit, 9°. But it's still expected to reach 21° later. Meanwhile in air pressure land, the barometers are down again at 1000/1008mB
