Couple of cold chicken thighs for lunch

It continues cloudy with gaps here and there

Old arty farty thing this morning, took along what art magazines I could rescue from the damp after me neighbour left them for me in the wrong place. Walky afterwards, what a lovely sunny and quite warm afternoon! Stopped in at little cafe with nice view and had a a chat with a nice youngish lady.

It’s cleared up some more here, so it’s sunny even though I’ve just finished work! I’d shut the blinds in the study a couple of hours ago when the sun started dazzling me, so I was quite surprised to walk into the living room and see bright sunlight on the trees out there, rather than a gloomy dark evening

Tea has been a pork chop off the market, with chips and beans

And to go with it, another episode of the motorway cops, who once again are occasionally going on a motorway. There aren’t so many unrelated dashcam clips in this series either

[NickFitz]

Yet more of Peace and War read. I was a bit ambivalent about Forever Peace to start with, but it’s developing in intriguing ways

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

Cloudy start, but gaps are starting to open up so it looks like we’ll be getting sunny spells. The mild-but-breezy circumstances persist: it’s 10°C which “feels like” 6°, with an expected high of 14°. The barometers are trivially down at 1002/1010mB

Morning all
Another misty one here, currently 10C feels like 9C. Dawn chorus was in full flow at 6:15 and even with the mist neither of us needed torches.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dry.

NotSoChilly in here at 14.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen (thermometer display is now faulty), 13 deg in the leanto (classic alcohol thermometer: display not faulty and it doesn't need a battery).

1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.63 psi, (up from 1007 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 18th of March 2020 Brillo, quackhandle, WTFH, LM, and I popped in. (i.e. same as yesterday).

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked inthe grey gloom. Two fewer layers on than yesterday so sweat was avoided by taking off scarf & opening leather jacket towards the end. Hints of the drizzle to come. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about electrick cars with some lying politico saying how wunnerful it's all gonna be when every hill is covered with windmills and solar panels.

Another touch of the itchy eye syndrome: the hazel catkins/alder catkins are getting to me. .

Morning all

Sunny! Currently 10 degrees with a high of 17 expected. barometer down to 1016 mBar.

Sunrise 06:55; Sunset 17:34 GMT

Lazy day today as I'd planned the day off. Not sure what to do with the unplanned free afternoon. I did book a holiday to Cádiz yesterday evening and then realised it clashed with a theatre trip. So some of today will be spent working out what's the easiest of the two to move.

[NotAllThere]

Hah. 18 expected here. Bright blue skies.

Just had my leave request refused for my colleagues funeral. Because it's paid leave.

ladymuck - fly to Basel and get the last hours of Fasnacht.
