Morning.

Friday.

From the state of the bed I had a restless night. . Included the working somewhere dream: this one was in some tower block that joined halfway up to what looked like BrynSifi Terrace. My Raleigh RSW16 was involved, along with losing my baseball cap when leaving to go home & getting lost on the way to the station going through some market or other. Most peculiar. Glad to wake up.

Drily damp.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 12.3 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9 deg in the leanto, 7 deg in the saltinghouse.

999.5 mBar, 29.52 in Hg, 749.7 Torr, 14.496 psi, (up from 996 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 Brillo popped in, covbob was looking for contracts, I bought some soreen, and LM agreed it was very moreish.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.

Three conversations today. (not counting those with myself).

Raining now.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: TWATO Jenrick <click>

Foyle's War S3 E1 "The French Drop": Foyle and SOE. Rather good. Don't remember watching that one before. Then again it is 22 years old. .

Tea: chilli con carne etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. <click>

Welsh history thing.

Taggart. S5 E5,6,7 "Hostile Witness".

Morning all

Sunny with a few wispy fluffs here and there. A bit damp on the ground from yesterday's rain. Currently 9 degrees and that's the high for the day. Cloud cover set to increase and there might be some rain overnight. Barometer up to 1003 mBar.

Sunrise 07:59; Sunset 16:23 GMT

Unsettled sleep, kept waking up. At some point I realised I had a headache but couldn't be bothered to find anything to take for it. I did have a couple of ibuprofen this morning when I got up but it's not helped.

All meetings for the day have been done. I think I'll take it easy for the rest of the day.

Royal Mail finally showed up with the ClientGov laptop at 12:45, just squeezing under the wire for “Guaranteed 1pm” delivery. A different van turned up over an hour earlier, but that was for something going to one of my downstairs neighbours, and probably not guaranteed for any particular time

The laptop is useless anyway as they have to phone me with the login details, which won’t happen before Monday at the earliest

I did some mucking around with RealityKit while I was waiting, so the morning wasn’t a complete waste. But I’d sooner have had the shopping done by now and be having lunch

Speaking of which, Sainsbury’s beckons

[NickFitz]

Shopping done!

It was Big Sainsbury’s today, as I wasn’t able to go last week when Viz came out. The journey there proved annoying due to two sets of temporary traffic lights at roadworks. Then when I made it to the outer ring road, it for some reason slowed to a crawl the entire way down the hill and across the river. There weren’t any signs of a crash or breakdown, so no idea what caused that, but the various delays meant it took twice as long to get there as it normally would

Coming back, the ring road had sorted itself out and traffic was flowing smoothly - on that side. I was now on the other side, and that also slowed to a crawl all the way back up the hill, for equally inexplicable reasons

Anyway, the shopping was successfully accomplished, including getting Viz. I would have been annoyed if I’d forgotten it after all that

And just as I arrived home (where my preferred parking place was still free), the sun came out! There are some wisps of grey cloud drifting past quite quickly, suggesting the wind is stronger higher up, but it generally looks quite scenic out there now

[NickFitz]

Much-delayed lunch has been a bit of pork pie

I see I forgot to mention that I did the mundane laundry last night, so that’s one less chore to do

[xoggoth]

Nice sunny few hours with loony lady 1. Glad it wasn't like yesterday, although still some big puddles on the road. Seem to be a few new potholes opened up in last week or two.

It's clouded over here but has been a nice day for the most part.

I clocked off around 3pm.
