    Tea has been beef and ale stew, with a crust of the excellent white loaf for dunking

    This was accompanied by the second part of Tsunami 2004: The Day the Wave Hit on 4

    It rained this afternoon, then brightened up, then it went gloomy again and seems to be raining some more

    Meanwhile, the squirrels are back on their thing of getting conkers from the tree out the back, bringing them along the garden wall, over the roof of some garages, round the end of the adjacent block, across the drive, and out in front of our block where they finally eat them, leaving the remains of the spiky cases scattered around. I have no idea why they do this rather than just eating them where they get them

      More Rumpole read. They're a pleasant enough way to pass the time

      On the subject of crime, I saw the video (the one from just in front of the stage, not the one from further back) of that pro-gun chap getting an extremely brief opportunity to reconsider his views before he was completely exsanguinated. Not a pretty sight, and it was perfectly obvious he must have been dead in seconds, no matter how long it took for that fact to be officially confirmed. I suppose those who live by the Second Amendment must be prepared to die by the Second Amendment

      Thursday tomorrow!

      Goodnight all

        Morning denizens

        It's a quite sunny start out, though there's smallish bits of cloud clustering hither and yon - largely altocumulus, I think? It's 12°C but "feels like" 7° because it's still quite breezy; the expected high is 16° this afternoon, though that may bring rain with it, or at least coincide with rain. The barometers are down a little more at 988/996mB

          Morning all

          Blue sky with lumps of fluff wafting by. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Could be some rain mid afternoon. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.

          Builders turned up early this morning, I wasn't dressed! Sounds like the render on the wall stayed put overnight.

          Time for coffee.

            Put a high-vis on over my jacket this morning before the walk, is it was dull out. Rained for part of it, but not too bad.

              Morning.

              Thursday.

              Wet. Intermittently torrential.

              Wanly sunny.

              Flock of swallows/swifts/martins busily swooping about the place on their way back to that Africa.

              Grey.

              Cooler in here at 18.4 deg, 19 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto.

              996 mBar, 29.4 in Hg, 747 Torr, 14.44 psi, (up from 995 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric), 80% GDR hair.

              Meanwhile on the 15th of February 2020 Storm Dennis was busy storming, being wot WTFH had flown over the previous day on his way back, BR14 popped in, NF still couldn't remember the film and LM didn't know wot it was either, I went shopping & got wet & cancelled the walk for that day.

              Freecell score: 88%, running average: 84%. Started badly: lost 1st game.

              Torrential rain.

              Sun.

              More torrential rain.

              Sun.

              Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus. Y&Y waffling on about fraud. <click>.
