For tea tonight, I braved the bitter wind and went round to the kebab shop

It seems rain is about to arrive as well, so I’m glad that’s done and I can stay in here where it’s nice and warm

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Bad Boys (1995) which is OK but has that “Nobody in that position would do that” thing going on a LOT. I just realised that in many ways it’s borrowing from Lethal Weapon, so maybe that explains it. Anyway, it’s OK, but if you’re looking for social realism, it ain’t what you're looking for

And then the final three episodes of Hijack. It was supposed to be the next episode, but it’s so good that I couldn’t stop. Cracking stuff

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all still raining here, so our walk is delayed for a bit.

Morning.

Sunday.

Wet.

Grey.

Sunless.

Drizzly.

Chilly in here at 12.9 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

985.5 mBar, 29.1 in Hg, 739.2 Torr, 14.293 psi, (up from 984 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of March 2020 AndyGarbs went beep a lot, LM, covbob, and BR14 popped in, and I had a ginsters Moroccan pasty thing for lunch. I like those & haven't seen one for years.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked, eventually in sunshine, which was a bit unexpected.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus which is particularly loud this morning with the ear requiring attention that it's unlikely to get on the nhs any more.

I think I've reached the end of the interweb.

Book. Other book. Book. End of book.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: Poetry crap on R4 <click>

Oak Island nutjobbery at 19:00. They found a spike. A piece of silver: the only treasure so far. Wood. More wood. A gold plated button.

Sergeant Cork. S3 E1 "The case of the two poisons". yet more abuse of the working class by the toffs, bastards that they are. Just as well they were all syphilitic really.

Book.

Some bollox on Blaze: discovered by disaster or some such bollox. Youngest Toba Eruption 73k years ago. SM1 in Ethiopia. River pools during drought. Out of Africaaaa. Wind River, Wyoming, SepticLand. Native American ancient sites for processing mountain plants. Chert artefacts. Used for 4 millennia by the Shoshone. Lake Van, Turkey. Uartian Ayanis abandoned castle. Olympia, Greece. Bull sculpture at Temple of Zeus. Aurochs.

Morning all, Paris calling. Local time 10:20

Cloudy and dull. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 7 expected. Rain forecast this afternoon. Barometer down to 995 mBar.

Sunrise 08:30; Sunset 17:37 CET

Having breakfast before heading out for a wander about. Lunch planned in a bistro near Châtelet then back to the airport and home.

Afternoon denizens

It’s a grey day and supposedly breezy but, once again, the trees suggest it isn’t really. The current and highest-for-the-day temperature of 6°C “feels like” -1° according to this theory, but I don’t expect it does. The barometers are trivially up at 982/990mB

[NickFitz]

Tea: a fry-up

This was accompanied, as is traditional, by an episode of Time Team

[NickFitz]

In Stalingrad, winter continues. But things might warm up a little for the Germans when Russia starts its final attack on January 10th

Monday again tomorrow. Oh well, only ten weeks till Easter

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

It’s a grey day again, with a slight breeze that seems a bit chilly. It’s only 2°C (“feels like” 1° apparently) and won’t soar any higher than 4° - though once it has, it’ll stay there right through into the early hours of tomorrow morning, when it'll warm up even more, albeit with accompanying rain! The barometers are bouncing back at 990/998mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
After days of rain, it's dry and 4C out. A pleasant walk was had, even if the fields were still quite boggy.

Just a little reminder: Today is Monday, which means it's quiz night tonight. It's the final of Only Connect.
