Morning denizens

I see I forgot to wish everybody good night last night. Sorry! For the record, I read more of Death’s End, in which humanity once again finds the Universe to be a bit more complicated than they realised

I really struggled to get to sleep last night, not dropping off until past two in the morning. As a result, I seem to have turned the first alarm off this morning without waking up at all. Usually I have some vague recollection of turning it off, but not today

It’s a grey start again, though no showers this time. Currently 8°C (“feels like” 4°) and expected to reach a balmy 15° along with sunny spells this afternoon, while the barometers are back up to 1017/1025mB

One thing I noticed last night, and also this morning, is a slight irritation of the nasal membranes. I’m wondering if the hay fever season may be getting off to an early start

Just been told officially that a second client of mine is having to re-plan a project due to "global events"

^^^ Warnings from the Met Office (pollen forecast dept) a couple of days ago. Tree pollen.

Morning.

Tuesday apparently which must account for the serial killer dream followed by the working in Silicon Valley dream. Most odd. Don't think I've dreamed of Silicon Valley previously.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Blueish sky in parts.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 13? in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1027 mBar, 30.33 in Hg, 770.3 Torr, 14.89 psi, (up from 1025.5 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of March 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, BR14 and NF popped in, along with Churchill with the sad news of his mum's demise.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath), walked in the sunshine. Eventually warmed up enough to remove the scarf and open the jacket.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the Radio Astronomy thing waffling on about Mars.

Some minor gardening accomplished. Dunno if the fuchsia will like what I did to it but it's done now.

Getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee in an attempt to recover from the above. Are one's ears supposed to be ringing when getting up from a crouching position? Askin' for a friend. .

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: last bit of PM. Preceded by Captain Steeeve and a couple of vids of the Orange demented moron just to keep me up to date with his dementia diagnosis.

Since my return from gardening mist has arisen to the extent of concealing the mountain across the valley, elsewhere it might be termed "haar" but there you go.

Look at life: fishing, fishing contests. Gambling thereon. One chap won £1000 which was a lot of money in the 60s. He started a fishing supplies shop with it.

5select: sunken warships: secrets from the deep: USS Scorpion. Thresher mk II. .

Freecell score: 94%, running average: 84%.

Sky arts: Spymasters: the great spy writers: Kipling to Greene.

Sean Connery vs James Bond. Inneresting enough.

Thing about climate change on Svarlbad Yng Nghymraeg. E1.

Afternoon all

Mostly cloudy with occasional gaps. Currently 16 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1029 mBar.

Sunrise 06:39; Sunset 19:33 BST

Busy, busy today. I have no idea where the time has gone.

Off to the theatre this evening, leaving HWMBO home alone.

Oh I’m expecting what I’m currently working on to not have the Middle East expansion we were banking on.

which means I will probably finish this project and join my colleagues doing the exact same thing I’m doing at this client at their next client (thankfully it’s quality improvement work so we can hop between competitors merrily)
