    Tea tonight was sausage & onion casserole with chips

    And this was accompanied by yet another new Traffic Cops

    Later, in Character Limit, Musk has announced his offer for Twitter

    Goodnight all

      Morning denizens

      Mostly clear sky at dawn, with just a few wisps of high cloud here and there. The wind seems to have died down too. It's 3°C ("feels like" -1°) and aiming for 7° while the barometers are showing renewed optimism at 1022/1030mB

        Morninag all
        Clear skies overnight, and while it may have been 2C when we went out, the ground was frozen in places.
        Hoping it's going to be a good day.

          Morning.

          Wednesday.

          Damply dry.

          Sunny.

          Blue sky in parts.

          Chilly in here at 12.1 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 8.5 in the leanto.

          1033 mBar, 30.5 in Hg, 774.8 Torr, 14.98 psi (untapped), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

          Meanwhile on the 25th of December 2019 Bah! Humbug!.

          Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine/grey gloom.

          The hedge cutter was cutting hedges again but not on the road I used.

          Lunch: brunch.

          Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about sommat. TWATO <click>.

          Some septic nutjob shooting at steel plates at a 1000 yds with a 5.56 (yes, really), a .338 Lapua, and a 50 cal. Followed by another septic nutjob relating why you don't want a .338 Lapua: mostly coz it's $6/round, and expensive even if you reload the brass: a dollar a bullet. .

          More potching on the ft tester: wound two more coils: who knew a x100 probe across the tuned circuit would load it enough to stop it oscillating? Well me, now. .

          Tea: chilli con carne (tinned) with rice (microwave), nice enough.

          Entertainment: PM until Tice turned up whereupon it went <click> with a vengeance.

          "Maigret is afraid" with the late Bruno Cremer. Curiously I wasn't word perfect on this one: must have missed bits of it on previous viewing.

              Lunch: a pancetta omelette

              Been a while since I've had one of those

              It's clouded over here now. Still relatively mild though, unlike the very windy afternoon yesterday

                Early finish again! It's only ten minutes, but I'll take it

                It feels exceedingly light out at finishing time now

                  Morning all, local time 0630

                  Cloudy start to the day but should clear up as the day progresses. Slight chance of some rain. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.

                  Sunrise 06:22; Sunset 19:56

                  Yesterday saw a trip to Taronga Zoo while HWMBO did some work. Knackered afterwards. The humidity is what drains you.
