    Morning.

    Monday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Chilly in here at 17 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto, 8.6 in the saltinghouse.

    1020 mBar, 30.12 in Hg, 765.1 Torr, 14.794 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 AndyGarbs and BR14 popped in, the status of Edward VIII was refined re George VI, WTFH explained the deletions in the Doctor Who thread.

    Washing frenzy in progress.

    Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. No butterflies on the ivy flowers.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 book thing. Noon o'clock news. Y&Y <click>

    Those items requiring the iRon have received it & are airing upstairs.

    Minor potching with the mains feed down to the garage: the 20mm supports replaced by 22 mm supports to test the theory that the conduit will do better if it's free to slide when the sun's out.

    The newly acquired battery strimmer has strimmed parental and grandparental graves reasonably successfully. This is an addition to the two strimmers (mains) that I already possess. .

    Washing frenzy complete.

    Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & suchlike. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: The kitchen cabinet. PM. <click>

    "The Desert Fox (1951)" James Mason as Erwin Rommel. Naturally enough the Septics did all the fighting.

    Foyle's War S1 E1 The German Woman.

    The Oak Island bollox is on at 21:00.

    Foyle's War S1 E1 The German Woman.

    Oddly this is followed by S6 E1 "The Russia House". .

    JFK. The Truth is Out There. . Probly in the same folder as Epstein's client list. . Wrong day: on tomorrow.

      Morning all

      Car dropped off at the air conditioning repair shop. Not sure if I'll get it back today.

          Lunch has been a cold sausage bap (white)

          I wasn't going to have sausages for the third day in a row, but they involved minimal effort

            Afternoon all
            ;wave:

            on the last week now, nearly done.
            Kipper with horseradish, bread and butter for lunch.
            nutritious and delicious
            quite balmy out today, too.
            very pleasant.

              Another day done

              There wasn't much going on really. We tidied up a couple of loose ends on the thing we've been doing, then set it loose on a test server for the end users to check. I spent the last hour or so of the day updating the accessibility statement. This was, of course, provided in Word format, so I had to pull all the text out and go through it to manually mark it up as HTML like it was 1997

              It remained fairly bright until around lunchtime, but it's properly clouded over now

                  I haven't looked yet - I'll be checking it in a few minutes

                  Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

                  And this was accompanied by yet more fare dodgers. None of them ever seem to come up with anything original. Then again, I suppose of they did, they wouldn't get caught
