Morning.
Tuesday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
NotSoChilly in here at 14.2 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto, 12 in the saltinghouse.
1013.5 mBar, 29.93 in Hg, 760.2 Torr, 14.6996 psi, (down from 1016 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 23rd of March 2020 LM, NF and I popped in, whilst on the 24th in popped DaveB and Brillo.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the unbearable heat of the late morning. Lucky I wore a thinner jacket today or I'd have passed out.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y: getting a GP appointment. It's 6 years since I had one of those.
Today's washing frenzy dried on the line. Spent most of its time horizontal due to the semigale.
Remade the bed to avoid later angst & gnashing of teeth.
Mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.
Freecell score: 86%, running average: 84%.
Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: PM <click>. Transmitter seems to be going off intermittently.
Sky Arts: Spymasters: Alistair MacLean to John LeCarre. 2/3.
S4C thing about climate change & sea level.

Clear blue sky. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer at 1023 mBar.

Busy morning of meetings and plumbers fixing the boiler. They covered some pipes with the worst bit of woodwork I have ever seen.
Here's hoping the fix lasts.Comment

Lunch has been turkey soup with a thick crust of wholemeal
Still sunny out - and warm, according to the machine that tells me what it’s like out there!

Old arty farty thing this morning. Was hoping to finish sealing cracks in garden path but run out of mortar, so off to (almost) finish my toothpaste inspection.bloggoth

I had some chicken legs that needed to be used by tomorrow, and of course I’m off to Manchester then. I’ll probably be home by teatime, but to save having to faff around with them then, I chucked them in the slow cooker with some veg and seasoning this afternoon. So a delicious aroma is now spreading through the flat

Chicken casserole for tea then, with some of the surplus mini roast potatoes from the other week out of the freezer, reheated and crisped up in the air fryer. The casserole turned out very nicely
This was accompanied by S1E5 of The Truth About My Murder, concerning a bloke from North Wales who was stabbed and bludgeoned to death by his neighbour

In the Rasputin book, Russia is now embroiled in the Great War, which he opposed. But as everybody else was going along with it, he joined in, writing to the Commander in Chief to say he wanted to review the troops. The Commander in Chief wrote back encouraging him to come, adding “and I shall hang you on your arrival.”
Apparently the orange one has chickened out again
Goodnight all

Morning all
CBS, etc and no breeze, so a very pleasant walk was had with the sun rising at around 6:35. Have 2 hedgehogs out at the same time last night, which is good news. I've been told that the 20 ewes + all the lambs are being moved out of the paddock today, so I might move LambCam to monitor some of the other activities. The nest box with a camera in it currently (as of 2 minutes ago) has a tit in it, and I suspect she is laying an egg.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Morning denizens
It’s a sunny start again, with just a few wisps and strands of high, thin cloud here and there. It’s 8°C but expected to soar to a summery 22°, with the barometers steady at 1011/1019mB
Not that it’ll last - the rest of the week will be cloudier and cooler, with a chance of some rain at the weekend
I’m off to Manchester today!
