    Morning denizens

    It’s a fairly sunny start but the strands of high cloud seem to be starting to clump together; we had some brief spells of rain last night, but none are expected today (though that’s what they said yesterday). It’s 16°C with an expected high of 24°, and the barometers are much the same at 1011/1019mB

      Further out of town with Jack Hargreaves. Nice butterflies. Fishing.

      Tea: Tesco battered haddock. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click> UFO bollox on Blaze.

      Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves. More fishing. And an agricultural show.

      Bab5. S1 E17. "Legacies". The missing body one with a telepath thrown in for good measure.

      Something else of which I now have zero recall.

              The day at the office was as expected. The PM and I nearly missed a meeting because we were too busy gossiping. Then we went for a long lunch in the pub before leaving at 4pm.

                This evening’s viewing was the second episode of the Philadelphia mob thing, in which the FBI are realising that as soon as you put one boss away, a rival boss takes over

                And in A Game of Birds and Wolves, the great success of the anti-U-boat game has led to a number of Wrens, often just out of school, becoming the world’s leading experts on anti-submarine warfare, despite having no seafaring experience beyond taking the ferry over the water to Birkenhead and back

                Thursday tomorrow! And it’s Tech Debt Thursday, so with a bit of luck I’ll have time to do the shopping at lunchtime - I only need to go to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s

                Goodnight all

                  It’s a clear blue sky above while a ring of cumuli lurk low on the horizon It’s also pretty windy (19mph, gusts to 32mph), which started last night and will continue all day. As a result, the present 16°C “feels like” 11°; the expected high is 22°, and the barometers are heading downwards at 1007/1015mB

                  Thursday!

                    Morning.

                    Thursday.

                    Damp.

                    Grey.

                    Sunless.

                    Dreary.

                    21.6 deg in here, 23 in the kitchen, 20 in the leanto.

                    1015.5 mBar, 29.9876 in Hg, 761.7 Torr, 14.73 psi, (down from 1017 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

                    Meanwhile on the 31st of March 2020 NF was trying to get the surgery to sort out his meds, whilst vetran and LM were speaking Spanish & quoting Bart Simpson. I wonder if LM found out how long that pineapple lasted. .

                    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: The Dam Busters. No mention of Guy Gibson's dog. .

                    Secret Nazi Bases: Peenemunde. <click>.

                    Tea: well it's Thursday, thusly: baked beans, probably with baked spud.

                    Entertainment: Bab5 S1 E18. "A voice in the wilderness". I wonder why I'm watching this on Freesat when the dvds are on a shelf to my right.

                      Morning all
                      I'd not say it was raining or even drizzling earlier, but the air was damp.
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
