    Morning all
    Overcast, but about 6C warmer this morning than yesterday. I was wearing too heavy a jacket on the perambulation.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Grey start again, with copious traces of overnight rain. Not overly cold for the time of year at 11°C with a high of 15°, though the breeze means it "feels like" 5° right now. The barometers are creeping back up at 1002/1010mB and the already breezy breeze is expected to get breezier, with a chance of the odd shower now and then

        Morning.

        Wednesday.

        Dry.

        Dark.

        Dank.

        Dreary.

        Sunless (after yesterday's lovely sunset).

        Chilly in here at 15.2 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

        1010.3 mBar, 29.834 in Hg, 757.787 Torr, 14.653 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 18th of November 2019 NF posted Monday Links and toddled off to the pharmacy to get his monthly fix, whereas BR14 had been set up by the client for the job I thought he'd told them to feck off for.

        Entertainment: The Coming Storm on R4.

        Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unexpected sunshine and gloom.

        Lunch: there was.

        Five lawns duly mown. I wish I knew what I seeded that bottom bit with, it's twice as lush as the rest and the seed all came from Wilko, allegedly the same stuff.

        Freecell score: 100%, running average: 77% (making up for the 50% this morning).

        Tea: scrambled egg etc.

        Entertainment: book. That Smiley, wot's he like?

        Maigret and the Flemish House (1992) with Bruno Cremer. I've watched this three times now and it was worth while watching it again. Odd to think the little boy is now in his 30s.

          Dull, overcast, damp. Not currently raining but the forecast says to expect it mid afternoon. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Barometer up to 1012 mBar.

          No other news to report at this time.

            Local history group lady just been round to use my laminator for some posters. Nice to have a bit of company. Been invited to a quiz this evening, not sure as got no brain anymore. Won't know any answers unless about dinosaurs or periodic table.

              Lunch: a bacon bap (white)

              For a few minutes this morning, it looked like I might have some work to do. But it involved working with someone else, and they've got a lot of meetings today so they aren't going to get started on the thing in question until tomorrow

              So I'm back to looking through documentation and the like. Might poke around a few GitHub repos of relevance later, just to see how bits fit together

              Outside, it continues windy and drizzly

                Tea was pork steaks with chips and beans

                And it was accompanied by an old Traffic Cops

                  A few more chapters of Eternity read

                  Only Thursday tomorrow? Not good enough; it really should be Friday by now

                  Goodnight all

                    Bright red sunrise in a largely clear blue sky this morning, though the grouch in the weather app insists on calling it "party cloudy". Not so warm with open skies though it'll warm up later: 7°C now, 16° expected. The barometers are up again at 1011/1019mB

                      Meanwhile on the 18th of November 2019 I made a trip down the dump with green waste, then watched the end of BTVS S5 which is always a bit of a downer (in more than one way), whereas BR14 had started the contract for someone he'd told to feck off.
