Home again! 
We'd booked a table at the pub-restaurant where we had both wakes, and they do a good Christmas dinner

Having a massive takeaway brought to me after eating a full Christmas dinner at lunchtime would have been overkill, so tea has been a roast beef butty and a bag of plain crisps

I missed Monkey Life, of course, though I made it home just in time for the last episode of the lemurs
More of George Sherston has been read this evening. He spent a hunting season in Leicestershire, but then war came in the summer of 1914. Having spent a few months in the ranks of the yeomanry and ended up with a broken arm for his trouble, he's spent the following season as a trainee infantry officer at a camp in Litherland, an industrial suburb of Liverpool which was also partly rural at the time
Early night now so I don't miss the morning's helping of Monkey Life
Goodnight all

^^^ Om.
Morning.
Sunday.
Grey.
Sunless.
Damp.
Dreary.
Chilly in here at 12.4 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto.
1025 mBar, 30.268 in Hg, 768.8 Torr, 14.866 psi, (up from 1022 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 11th of December 2019 it was sunny for NF despite an unexpected visit to the dentist, Brillo was moving his office or desk or something, and LM declared that the only reason she went into work early was so she could leave as early as possible in the afternoon.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.
Shopping trip to Morrisons (complete with new card) done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Knackered now. Had to take scarf off on the way back due to incipient overheating.
Lunch: brunch: nothing to listen to on the wireless due to endless Di Ti Di. Doh, there Tom, me old pal, me old beauty. As it were.
Entertainment: bit of NZ Highway Patrol <click>
Read book.
More potching with the defunct pcs. Still defunct. Discovered that the FIC VA503+ mb seems to go for decent money on ebay. I think I paid about £15 for the last one.
Discovered that the random HD that was lying around was NTFS formatted so it's currently in safe mode running chkdsk apparently.
Tea: beans on toast etc.
Entertainment: book.
Am Dro: Capel Garmon. Hawarden, Flintshire. Rhumney valley. Ogmore to Dunraven via Southerndown.
Sky Arts: Discovering Robert De Niro.
Bomb squad on More4. Another job I couldn't do.
Ffilmiae Ddoe on S4C: nelly north (Sue Roderick) is in this one. Gosh Licyris Olsorts is a long time ago. I liked that programme.

Morning denizens
It's grey out though not rainy, bringing an end to the sunny spells. It's very mild for December: 10°C, though also windy enough to "feel like" 4°, and warming up to 12° later - though also getting windier, so who knows what that will feel like? The barometers are back up a bit more at 1013/1021mB
