I've always thought how dull and repetitive current music is, seems it's not just because I'm an old fart.

Anyway, prob. ll1 walk today, if it aint too rainy.

Morning.

Friday. Oh Good.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Bright. Ideal for photophobia.

Chilly in here at 12.7 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto.

982 mBar, 28.998 in Hg, 736.56 Torr, 14.242 psi, (up from 975 last evening), 76% RH (GDR hair), 69% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 11th of September 2019 LM wanted some sort of Mac comestible and was informed that using suitable ingenuity such could be prepared on a client site, to celebrate this there was a Dilbert cartoon where Wally microwaves a fish, not to eat but to stink the place up, with the added joy of the Breakfast/Lunch scene from "Falling Down (1993)". Breakfast always goes better with 9mm holes in the suspended ceiling.

Entertainment whilst drinking lots of tea: Nothing to Declare UK: stone me this lot are considerably fatter than the NZ or Oz Border controllers.

In a disastrous turnup there's no Oz customs in the afternoons: I'm not watching it at 08:00 in the morning.


The stomach is reminding me that there's been nothing in it for more than 24 hours. Other than two pots of tea.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 86%.

Tea: there was tea, though I'm currently wondering if that was an altogether Good Idea.

Entertainment: The Mentalist S2 E2 "The Scarlet Letter": the one with George Wyner, and Starsky but no Hutch.

Just been hammering down with hail.

Suddenly felt very shivery. Obviously this lurgie is hanging on in there.

Can't find anything to watch. Bored. Now.

I never seem to get around to having any more than a round of toast for breakfast, but today I changed things up a little by having a toasted teacake instead

I suppose it should have been a hot cross bun, but I don't have any of those

Today, we continue the long-running series "Small tasks that take a trivial amount of time and effort but which for some reason I will have put off for months before I finally get around to them" with "Popping my glasses in the ultrasonic cleaner for a few minutes"

Time to hit the road!

Morning all, local time 0830

Sunny, cloudy free. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 25 expected.

Meeting up with my fellow travellers for breakfast soon. Lots of nothing to be done today. Although I do need to complain again to reception about the fridge not working.

Time to hit the road!

Home again!

Very nice dinner, and good to catch up with everybody. Lots of Easter eggs distributed, many fewer received. It's a bit of a scam that you have to give couples one each, but they only give you one between them

And my nieces plus the eldest's fiancé mean three issued for one in return, but that's OK - they live and work in London, so I'm surprised they can afford to feed themselves, never mind me

And, of course, my sister and her husband had put on the spread, so they weren't expected to provide eggs as well

The journey back featured many showers, often quite heavy, combined with low sun; a combination which meant that for large parts of the journey I was accompanied by a very bright rainbow either to my right or in the rear view mirror

Knackered now though. Nice as it is to all get together, it's also rather tiring travelling down and back

I popped by my parents' place to pick up a whatnot which I kept forgetting to bring back on previous trips because it had been positioned in such a spot that it just seemed like part of the decor, so I didn't register that it was there for me to take away

And while there, I helped myself to an unopened bottle of The Glenlivet 12 year old single malt. One of the neighbours, a retired doctor, would give my Dad a bottle of some premium booze like that every Christmas, but my Dad didn't drink the stuff, and it would sit on the top shelf in the pantry until my Mum remembered it and asked if I wanted it. So it's what she would have wanted; and anyway, I'm the only one of us who drinks the stuff, so there's no point leaving it there any longer

Although I do need to complain again to reception about the fridge not working.

Ask them if they can pop round and sort out my freezer once they've fixed that
