Morning all
CBS, etc.
A bit of a temperature swing from yesterday's 9C, it's currently -1.2C

Morning denizens

It’s a bit of a rosy-fingered dawn, though it’ll soon cloud over. The open skies overnight have led to a mild frost, so it’s -1°C now, though it’ll soon start climbing towards today’s high of 6°. The barometers are up at 1000/1009mB

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Frosty.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 11.9 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 6 deg in the leanto, 2.7 deg in the saltinghouse.

1009.5 mBar, 29.8 in Hg, 757.2 Torr, 14.642 psi, (up from 1007 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 things were getting inneresting: WTFH's Mrs was off to A Secret Meeting whilst Cummings et al were hiding, LM was explaining stuff about Excell spreadsheets to someone who didn't seem to get it, NF was recovering slightly, WTFH was off to see a consultant, and I got an Om .

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine with a cold cold wind blowing down the valley boyo.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away: they had stock of skimmed milk today & some other stuff I forgot on Monday.


After yesterday's inneresting observation of the fisherman with a nice bong by his side, this morning we have the plod out in force across the road removing a front door with a sabre saw and doing the needful doings to get in.

Scene of crime truck there now, plus several cars and possibly the electricity company.

No facemasks and no guns.

So far no arrests and they haven't shot anyone walking past on the pavement, which must be a plus these days.

Oh. Sorry. That's in Septicland not here.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y: thing about Amazon delivering 200+ returned/overstocked parcels to some poor woman: appears to be the usual Chinese select an address trick: the "company" concerned has been removed from Co House.

The Mystery of Alwyn's Rock in the River Neath at Tonna:
"Alwyn Jones 03/1945 to 23/02/2024: a fisherman and gentleman."

It's been puzzling me for years because there's a metal sign fixed to Alwyn's Rock and no one I asked seemed to know owt about it.

Morning all

Clear sky but a little damp on the ground. Much cooler at 3 degrees with a high of 7 expected. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses. Barometer up 1013 mBar.

Sunrise 08:01; Sunset 16:20 GMT

Another day mostly comprising meetings.

[NickFitz]

Lunch: Heinz oxtail soup and white toast

Thankfully, we’re pretty meeting-free today: there's one with an external supplier this afternoon about importing some data that will probably only take a few minutes, my one-to-one with the DM after that has been cancelled because neither of us could think of anything to discuss, and there’s the weekly departmental senior management one that I just use as an excuse to have coffee and biscuits whilst listening to them tell us all about stuff that mostly isn’t relevant to me
