Ah yes, little Bobby Tables

Ah yes, little Bobby Tables

I was thinking of Little Bobby Tables, but SQL Injection is taken care of by Django so I didn't have to check for that case. I thought of including him just for the fun of it though

[NickFitz]

Ribs and chips for tea

To accompany this, E2 of Legends which is developing nicely

There’s a parade of shops on an estate in Liverpool (or supposed to be) in there which is the absolute spit of the shops I used to walk to school through when I was very young. Can’t be the same ones as they were knocked down years ago, along with the maisonettes

Really nice old fart meet up at ancient house. Sat near some people I know, unlike last one. Wandered enormous garden afterwards, 3 big lakes!

In The Middle Kingdoms, the rise of scientific understanding has inevitably given rise to all kinds of pseudoscience, including eugenics and phrenology. Meanwhile, Bismarck finally got on the imperial gravy train. Put these things together and it ends up being an extremely bad time to be a native of German South West Africa. But now it’s 1914, so the mess he made of the Balkans is about to spill over, starting in Sarajevo

It started raining from time to time here this afternoon. Since then, the wind’s got up, and the rain seems to have settled in for the night

Goodnight all

Morning.

Tuesday?

Damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

20.1 deg in here, 20 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4748 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of March 2020 Brillo popped in, along with BR14 and LM, whilst I was watching yet more Sherlock Holmes and mentioning Belker's dad's Al Zheimers disease and the tinned pineapple, whereas NF had placed his order via the interweb but the Chinese suppliers hadn't noticed said order & he had to wait anyway. So not quite reaching the 21st century after all. . But Janet sorted it out.

Awakened unbidden at 05:50 yet afeckinggain, so read more of book until the need to arise arose and I got up.

The dream before waking seemed to involve some purchases or other of obsolete electronic crap. I used to do a lot of that back in the day when there were all those wonderful adverts in Wireless World and Practical Electronics. I must have the world stock of 14.6pF Nato standard silver mica capacitors.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine, torrential rainstorm (brief), wan sunshine. The canal, which was empty above the lock is now a healthy depth again. The river is very brown, as is the upper part of the canal. Lower down, just a bit murky.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: book of the week <click>. Noon o'clock news. Y&Y <click>

Oz wreckers: this week: a lune who likes Ford Anglias. And paid about $500(Au) for two. Happily enough another nutter came along & bought them off him for $2500(Au) so he made a profit of $1000(Au). They seem to collect a lot of cars in Oz. Then wreck 'em & sell the bits to the Middle East. .

Am Dro at 15:00. Crickhowell walk with a Rwandan chap from Swansea. Cardigan. Secret Waterfall.

Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: Blazian UFO bollox.

Simon Schama waffling on about Queen Victoria.

Freecell score (in safe mode): 86%, running average: 84%.

Morning all
Heavy rain yesterday evening and overnight to the point that the pond is half full (most of the water coming from the summerhouse roof). Have inspected the new shed and it is dry inside.
Sun was out earlier, but there are more dark clouds on the way in.
The garden is appreciating the rain, as are the farmers round here.

Morning denizens

Last night’s rain continues, but is expected to peter out in a couple of hours. It’s 15°C (“feels like” 11°) and the expected high is only 18°; the barometers are, as might be expected, down at 990/997mB

This morning has brought confirmation that there are three young magpies! They were just down on the lawn with both parents, being taught how to ignore those two squirrels zooming around over there like idiots and concentrate on pecking at whatever it is they peck at

Morning all

Very wet. It has been raining since the early hours in varying levels of enthusiasm (very enthusiastic at the moment). Very little breeze. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Doesn't look to end until bed time. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

Sunrise 04:49; Sunset 21:10 BST

The rain kept me awake and so did some very disturbing dream which had me coming to with an attempt at calling out as someone tried to attack me.

[xoggoth]

Creepy, my PC is making faint muttering sounds and I don't have a browser or anything else open. Anyway, off to old arty farty thing soon.
