Morning.

Saturday.

Damp.

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

20.3 deg in here, 21.3 in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.649 psi, (up from 1005 last night), 72% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 31st of March 2020 BR14 and NF popped in edgeways with Brillo popping in a lot.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom/wan sunshine. Spotted a ?grass snake? basking on a wall in Henfaes Terrace. It seemed unconcerned about me looking at it & had a good smell to see what I was.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: noon o'clock news. Money Box investigating why Crapita are called Crapita. Probably followed by Dead Ringers.

^^ Begonia was a superb film. Absolutely bonkers. Saw that in the cinema. Never seen Sicario but I do have it downloaded.



Morning all

Cloudy with flecks of grey but the sun is making a valiant attempt to break through. Very 'close' and humid feeling. Currently 23 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 26 expected. Might rain later, might not. Barometer up to 1018 mBar.

Sunrise 04:44; Sunset 21:22 BST

The next solstice is tomorrow at 09:24 BST in London*

I have been to the farmers' market and bought much veg for HWMBO to do something with next week. The market is moving up the road for a little while as the council is doing pavement improvements around these parts (and very nice it looks, too).

Now to have a coffee before stripping the bed and commencing the laundering.


* Obvs the solstice isn't only in London; I meant the time I gave is for London

Afternoon denizens

It’s a cloudy day, though there are blue gaps here and there. It’s also slightly less heatwavey at 21°C with an expected high of 23°. The barometers are finally getting with the programme, being up to 1007/1015mB. And the wind, presumably an important factor for the balloon festival down the road, will blow any balloonists that venture upwards directly towards us, so I should get a nice view of them drifting off towards Rutland

There’s no sign of any balloons right now though; I don’t know what goes on at these things, but I’d expect at least a few of them to aviate eventually
