Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce
Very variable weather today. It turned cloudy earlier, now it's brightening up again. Still breezy

Another 2+ hr doing footpath inspection. Back & relax with me puppet parrot. I see that local woodland charity has a photo of volunteers on it's main page, I'm right in the middle with a youngish lady, her arm round me shoulder.bloggoth

Ended up having a very early dinner that was Thai curry leftovers from Saturday evening.
The evening's ents has started with the new series of Ambulance on iPlayer.Comment

Saturday leftovers here too, Turkish in my case
To go with this, I started watching American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden on Netflix, a three-parter

Almost finished reading Heathern
And I did some more mucking around with RealityKit shaders
Lots of meetings tomorrow, which is a shame as the other dev and I have been working out how to do something and made some good progress today. But we won't have much time to take it any further until Thursday at this rate
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Lots of sheets of cloud out, but with big gaps starting to open up from the south and west, and likely to be clear later. It's still windy, so the current 10°C "feels like" 3°, and I assume we'll be similarly shortchanged on the expected high of 13°. The barometers are dithering but nominally up at 992/1000mB

Morning.
Tuesday <checks clock> Yes. Tuesday.
Yet another horrible jobs dream. I hate those. Much as I've hated so many jobs.
Damp.
Wanly sunny.
High cloud.
Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.
1004 mBar, 29.65 in Hg, 753 Torr, 14.56 psi, (down from 1005 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 26th of February 2020 AndyGarbs, BR14, LondonManc, LM, and Brillo popped in, NF was doing a bedding wash, and my leg was very painful: shortly off to see the doctor.
Shopping trip to Aldi and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away (apart from the 4kg of porridge oats).
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about fish & today fishwives at 11:45. More people died at sea than died down the mines. Now there's a thought. And both industries are extinct.
Anyone else remember the loss of The Gaul? Lots of fuss about that one.
More potching: strimmed the parents' grave, tidied up the grandparents' graves. Neary fell over on the very slippery path: must remember to use the road when it's a bit damp underfoot: left knew complaining bitterly.
Moved some of next door's junk down to their newly empty shed: the fire surround my parents probably paid hundreds for is scrap: the electric fire certainly is. Took their carpet fixings down to said shed after they'd spent 6 years on my property.
Potched about with more welding. I've definitely lost my touch. Used the Lidl(tm) inverter welder this afternoon to see if it made any difference: nope: still crap.
Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM.
More Nazis. Okinawa. Another bloodbath.
