Well it turns out my weather app was correct and it's definitely been a mix of sunshine and showers with no hint of a thunderstorm.

Busy day at the coal face with more meetings than I consider desirable. Most were productive so that's not so bad.

Another week done!

The young magpies seem to enjoy playing around beneath the rose bushes. I think they’re intrigued by the petals that have fallen with the winds of the past week or so, as one of them carried one out to the lawn and they all seemed to have a try at eating it before giving up and going off to inspect the rear wheel of one of the cars. Meanwhile, their mother is keeping an eye on them from nearby

Tea has been sweet & sour pork out of the freezer, with fried rice

Rain due soon, but then it’s expected to be a clear night. Still breezy though

This evening’s viewing was E3 of Legends

And in The Middle Kingdoms, things went from bad to worse in the years up to 1945. But here comes Stalin, so maybe things will get better now?

Goodnight all

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Dry (currently).

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

18.7 deg in here, 19.5 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto, 14 in the saltinghouse.

1004.7 mBar, 29.67 in Hg, 753.6 Torr, 14.57 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of March 2020 as the plague progresses WTFH was sleeping on his own, I went shopping, and BR14, LM, NF, and scruff popped in, whilst BR14 received a delivery of groceries from a mate who also delivered to his lady friend.

Awakened unbidden at 06:15 with one of those lovely work dreams again FFS. This one was about designing some radio or other. Very odd. And I was working away just to make it even better. Chucked it in & woke up to find it was all Just A Dream.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Twinged my back picking up the wash basket: what with the bad knees and a sore back I am truly fecked & not in a good way. Ho very hum.

It rained: shirts in the TD and iRoned: now airing upstairs. The rest of it is still out on the line in the sunshine.

Unlike last week when a sweat band might have been required in the saltinghouse, today I needed a jumper. And I closed the door to keep the draught out.

Entertainment: the Archive Hour: Alistair Cooke from 1999.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the above (continued).

Everything in off the line, that requiring the iRon received it, all airing upstairs now.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.

"They" have been doing stuff to the leak in the canal. Huge pile of clay dumped near/over it.

Timed it right coz the drizzle has just commenced.

Very now. Maybe I should have abbreviated the walk.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM.

Last ep of this series of The News Quiz.

Taggart S12 E4,5,6 "Devil's advocate". First hour was tedious court case. It livened up a bit on 5 & 6.

I see that Babylon 5 is returning on the Leg End channel as of next Monday which may be of innerest to some. It's the last best hope for victory!

Morning all
Sky is clearing and the sun is streaming in my office window

TFIF, etc.

Off up to Surrey this weekend.

Morning denizens

It’s a cloudy day, though there’s some blue gaps to the west so maybe it’ll brighten up later, though the app doesn’t think so. The wind is a lot lighter but the current temperature of 12° still “feels like” 8°; the expected high is 16°, and the barometers are heading back up at 998/1006mB

Morning denizens.

CBS here with some wispy clouds. Quite different from yesterday morning...

Not much on here today, pretty empty in the calendar as befits a Friday.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Sunny with lumps of fluff. Dry. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Sunrise 04:47; Sunset 21:13 BST

Hopefully an uneventful day at the coal face today.

Gawd! Knocked over my mug of coffee and it spilled onto an extension lead and triggered the RCD in the garage. Now I've got to go round setting all the clocks again.

Lone day today, loony lady 1 has got a hospital appt.
