Morning.

Saturday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Chilly in here at 12.3 deg, 11 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto, 5.6 in the saltinghouse.

1007 mBar, 29.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1002 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 things were hotting up and not in a good way: NF found that bog roll had disappeared from the shops, eek's parents were on a cruise ship which was returning to port, , and LM added to the joy by wondering if they'd be allowed to disembark, quackhandle popped in, and WTFH was sussing out where & who in France was looking for a contractor.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: end of FOOC. Noon o'clock news. MoneyBox <click>

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee before embarking on the iRoning.

Washing frenzy complete: half a cup of water out of the TD this time.

Tea: soup etc. with the soup not being what I was expecting but nice enough.

PM. More news of the latest ravings of the Demented Orange Mother****er. Thirty Ought Six for the win. .

Maigret: "The Wedding Guest (1962)": Didn't remember much of this one: prisoner in the condemned cell gives Our Hero a lead on a murder. Lots of recognisable guest actors: John Slater (400+ eps of Z Cars), Philip Latham, Peter Madden (who I always associate with No Hiding Place for some reason though he was only in 1 or 2 eps), and Frank Williams before he became the vicar in Dad's Army.

Morning all

Depending on which window I look out of, it's either dull and cloudy or blue sky with lumps of fluff. Damp from overnight/early morning rain. Currently 10 degrees and that's the high for the day. There might be more rain, there might be a bit more sunshine. Barometer up to 1015 mBar.

Sunrise 07:58; Sunset 16:25 GMT

HWMBO and I went to the farmers' market but didn't buy anything. Sainsbury's has a personalised offer of a discount on FeverTree tonic so I bought half a dozen bottles.

Thanks, NF, for the prompt about Inside the Factory. Did you know there's a new series of Surgeons: A Matter of Life and Death on BBC?

Afternoon denizens

It’s looking quite Simpsonesque out today. Reasonably mild too at 8°C, which is today’s high. The barometers are up at 1003/1011mB

Assuming you meant Surgeons: At the Edge of Life, I can’t find it on iPlayer - the most recent one there is S7, from last year

I got the right name, wrong channel. It's on Channel 5.
