    32? We dreamt of that. It's 33 here... I stepped outside for a moment and now I regret my life choices.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      What's the temperature in your nuclear bunker? We should be told. .

        Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan

        It's starting to cool down here now, being down to 29°C from 30°. But I've had the air conditioner running all day in the living room so it's a bit under 24° in here

          It's cooled off to 29 degrees. The barometer continues downwards.

          The bins have been put out (food waste and recycling).

          Oak Island has been watched. Nothing worth reporting. The next episode will be the dramatic season 12 finale where nothing will be worth reporting. That's not available on Sky Go until Wednesday.

            Tonight's viewing was the motorway cops plus random dash cam clips thing

            And another chapter of The Nazi Mind read

            It's taking its time cooling down. Now at 23°C according to the weather app, but the air is very still so not a lot is happening to the warm air in the bedroom

            Only 27° tomorrow though, after which it'll start getting back to more sensible levels

            Goodnight all

              Morning denizens

              Overnight cloud is giving way to a sunny start. It's already 21°C and intent on getting to 27°; though inside, the bedroom was still 26° when I got up, the study 27°, and the living room 25°, so the place hasn't really cooled down much overnight. Windows open all over the place now to let whatever cooler breeze there is through, though that's not much. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1011mB. But after today we should be entering on a cooler period, with no worse than 23° for the rest of this week, and even dipping below 20° next week

                Morning all
                It's a bit warm out.
                Took the dog to the beach yesterday se he could have a swim int he sea and the river, that helped him cool off. This morning's walk was shorter than normal as we both slept in.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  Morning.

                  Tuesday apparently.

                  Dry.

                  Grey.

                  Wanly sunny (if you use some imagination).

                  Warmish side of cool in here at 22.4 deg, 23.5 in the kitchen, 22 in the leanto, 20 outside.

                  1008.5 mBar, 29.781 in Hg, 756.44 Torr, 14.627 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

                  Meanwhile on the 20th of January 2020 it rained lumpy rain on me, whereas the sun shone on WTFH whilst he collected the eggs, then rained old women & sticks by the time he'd returned to his desk, BR14 and Brillo popped in, LM had pikelets, LondonManc went to Itsu, and NF had roast chicken legs for lunch (a bit like yesterday).

                  Freecell score: 90%, running average: 82%.

                  Lunch: brunch.

                  Entertainment: "Add to playlist": ended with "Overkill" by Motorhead due to someone writing in to Feedback, followed by Sarah Dunant waffling on about Renaissance Italy again. Elephants and rhinos featured today, along with suicidal little dogs.

                  More gentle potching in the garage: there's a biscuit tin full of screws I could sort if the fancy took me. . Which it hasn't yet. Too hot in there today.

                  Entertainment: Ancient Aliens bollox: fell asleep, then woke when the bollox became too bolloxy to endure further.

                  Tea: Tesco battered haddock etc. Nice enough.

                  Entertainment: PM, 18 o'clock news. Alien Files Unsealed: I just sealed them again because it's back to fecking Rendlesham yet again again again.

                  War Walks: The Blitz. Seems to be Blitz week for some reason.

                  Digging for Britain.

                  5select: WWII from above: Peenemunde. The one where the power station is the biggest in Europe at 30MW. . This last obviously taken from the museum site.

                  Blaze: when big stuff goes tits up. The Spanish high speed train crash. The 747 Afghanistan crash (nasty, very). The cruise liner full tilt into a pier crash.

                  Examining the thermal efficiency of the typical steam loco: 6% vs 30% for diesel where you just get in the cab, turn a key, press a button & you're off rather than hours of lighting the fire in the fecker & waiting for the water to boil.

                    Morning all

                    Sunny with wisps. Currently 29 degrees with a high of 33 expected. Barometer down to 1013 mBar.

                    Sunrise 04:49; Sunset 21:22 BST

                    In ClientCo's office today. There is air conditioning. I forgot my glasses, which I need for reading and screen work, so I'm going to have a nice headache by the end of the day.

                      interesting moniker though, summat to do with BAL?
