    Once the factory show was done, I turned to my book: Shepperton Babylon by Matthew Sweet, a history of the British film industry from its earliest days. Some of the very early silent shorts that have survived are available on the BFI site or on YouTube, so one can learn all about the shenanigans and generally disreputable behaviour of those involved, both actors and producers, before watching them

    Goodnight all

    Tea was oniony sausage casserole with chips and peas. Furthermore, the sausages were pork and apple ones, and it all turned out very nice

    Accompanied by Inside the Factory on the important topic of sofas

    Lunch: turkey soup with a crust of wholemeal

    I had to give a bit of a demo to a bunch of stakeholders this morning, showing how their existing forms post their data via our thing which gets it where it needs to go. One of them popped up and explained that a certain form had been replaced by a more complex one we didn't know about, the discovery on our project having been done well over a year ago. But I tried it anyway, and it worked! Quite reassuring, that

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Windy.

    Chilly in here at 11.4 deg, 10.5 deg in the kitchen, 9 deg in the leanto, 5 deg in the saltinghouse.

    1010 mBar, 29.825 in Hg, 757.56 Torr, 14.6488 psi, (up from 998 last night), 75% RH (GDR hair), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 2nd of September 2019 NF was back on the corned beef, while I was deleting "people you may know" with abandon and BlueSharp popped in.

    Shirts in the WM along with some cottons.

    Shirts out of the WM and pegged out on the line, one of the cottons going back in.

    Smalls in the WM along with one of the cottons.

    Smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

    Cottons in the WM.

    Cottons out of the WM: the experiment with the one that went in 3 times didn't work.

    Cottons pegged out on the line & blowing well.

    The shirts are almost dry.

    Shirts blew off the line due to peg failure.

    House roughly vacced with the Vax that doesn't beat any more but seems to pick up ok.

    Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

    Entertainment: Y&Y. <click>

    Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

    Entertainment: Canadian customs thing with the usual gun toting septics.

    Oz customs thing. A lot of the usual: French guy with £80 for a 2 month stay: returned. British chap with a broken suitcase & traces of weed (miniscule) and coke (bit less miniscule): nothing found. Woman suspected of working on a tourist visa: back home.

    Walk (abbreviated) walked in the sunshine.

    Shirts & cottons roughly iRoned.

    Tea: soup etc.

    Entertainment: UFO Hunters: Todmorden Police UFO incident 1980. "Who do you think you are parking that UFO there? ET?".

    The Mentalist S1 E1. "Pilot". No pilots were involved in this episode.

    NCIS S20 E5. "Guardian".

    Possibly Car SOS. S11 E6 Porsche 911 Targa. That's been raced & hillclimbed. Oh Dear(tm). Cut the front off, sourced panels from Germany, rebuilt engine, welded a shedload of stuff. Stone me, must have cost a fortune. It's still awaiting its first MOT.

    Well there we are, will the last person out of Neath please turn off the lights: Barclays closing (I've been waiting for this to happen), and M&S closing (ditto).

    After the usual Sunday diet of Canadian borders and NZ roads, this evening's viewing was the latest episode of Ambulance followed by an old episode of 24 Hours in A&E

    Apparently shifting stuff into the car then shifting it out again at the other end counts as exercise, for today all three rings on the watch have been closed

    I'm feeling pretty knackered though, after an early start and all that shifting and driving. So an early night seems in order

    Monday again tomorrow

    Goodnight all
