Morning all

Cloudy, overcast. Weather app says it's sunny and will remain that way all day. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 1032 mBar.

Sunrise 07:20; Sunset 18:14 BST

Off to see Mum today. I have hired a Zipcar, which is located about a 15 minute walk away. Here's hoping it's got some petrol in it.

Morning denizens

Very foggy start out. It seemed as if there was quite bright backlighting to it earlier, suggesting it would be sunny if the fog cleared, but that seems to have changed now so it's just quite grey. Not very warm either at 9°C, though it'll creep up to 15° later. The barometers are down a touch at 1021/1019mB

I had a very good and refreshing night's sleep, except that I seem to have managed to squash my right hand which is a bit sore as a result. It seems to be gradually improving though

Could just be arthritis triggered by the damp and foggy conditions, I suppose

Leftovers from last night for tea

This was accompanied by a further episode of Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death. Only one more left now

The drive to and fro was uneventful. The Zipcar had petrol and I could have gotten away with not topping it up but I was feeling kind and had enough time to leave it full for the next person.

I have to into the office tomorrow for an all day workshop.

I finished Random Acts of Senseless Violence. It's very good. Jack Womack has written four other books set in the same future at different times; this is the "first" one, though not the first to be written. I'll give the others a go, though a lot of people seem to think this is the best of the series

And then I started Ossian's Ride by Fred Hoyle. I've seen this described as science fiction written in the style of John Buchan, and from the first few chapters, that seems fair. The story belts along at a good pace though

Monday tomorrow. Oh well, at least I'm off for ten days after Thursday

Goodnight all :weave:
