    Morning all
    Thought I should squeeze in a couple of billable between long weekends.

    Light cloud with a little sunshine, but a cool 2C on our walk earlier.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Morning.

      Monday apparently.

      Dry.

      Grey.

      Chilly in here at 12.7 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 9.5 in the leanto, 6 in the saltinghouse.

      1025.5 mBar, 30.28 in Hg, 769.2 Torr, 14.874 psi, (down from 1026 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

      Meanwhile on the 8th of March 2020 BR14, Brillo, scruff, LM, NF, and WTFH popped in. Apparently the sun shone at one point.

      Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Cold wind again.

      Bought a 2026 calendar. . Another British Birds one with a diary I'll never use.

      Washing out on the line not that it's drying muchly.

      Lunch: brunch.

      Entertainment: someone waffling on about "Jaws (1975)" until I got bored & turned it off.

      Book. Book. Book. Book. Book. Not the sort of books one might donate to Oxfam. .

      Stuff in off the line & in the TD. About half a cup of water. Those requiring the iRoned received it, all now airing upstairs.

      Tea: chilli con carne etc. Nice enough with added chilli powder.

      Entertainment: PM. More crap from the Orange Moron.

      Nothing else on this evening as far as the EPG says.

      Now halfway through a bottle of nice chianti, fava beans next, then it's a case of waiting for the census taker to turn up. .

          Grey day again, and it’s about to get colder with a number of frosty nights on the schedule. It’s 4°C at the moment (“feels like” 2°) though it should get to 6° through the afternoon. The barometers are down a bit at 1018/1027mB

          Monday! But not a working Monday for me, so it’s quite bearable

                  Lunch has been some leftover spuds and roast lamb from Friday night

                  And before that, I did some work on the new forum, where I got so wrapped up in working out the best way to implement the sidebar that I completely forgot it was Monday and I had to sort out the links!

                  I’d better get on to that right now

                      I decided I had sufficient pep and vigour to go and do some shopping, so off I went to Big Sainsbury’s. Mostly household stuff like kitchen roll, but also some ingredients for stuff I’m planning to make while I have time. It was quite busy, but not insufferably so

                      I’m used to being the only person in a mask these days, but this time I was approached by a polite young man who asked me where I got it from. I explained that I’d bought a big pack of them off Amazon ages ago during one of the lockdowns, which I was just getting to the end of, and he thanked me and said he’d have a look on there. So perhaps I’ve recruited a convert to the cause of not dying just because you needed a pound of onions and some washing up liquid

                      I had been thinking of going tomorrow, but it’s good to have got it out of the way while it was on my mind. Otherwise, I just end up wondering if I should go, or should have gone, for the rest of the day
