Morning denizens

Another sunny start with wispy bits. There’ll be a foreshadowing of the week to come as the current 23°C rises to 28° this afternoon. The barometers are down a little at 1002/1009mB

Off to Sussex-by-the-Sea to visit Mum. Down there it's a much more palatable 24 degree high today.

Taking a couple of trackers to attach to things that Mum "loses". There is a risk she removes the trackers and bins them.

The bed has been stripped and left to air, and the duvet cover (which I’ve decided to wash separately because it's pretty bulky in its own right due to being 1600 thread count) is in the wash

Tea has been ribs and chips, again

This was accompanied by Paramedics on Scene on iPlayer, which appears to be BBC Scotland’s local version of Ambulance but without the budget for fancy 3D map graphics

There were lots of special drivers out today. However I made it to Sussex and back without incident.

I was very disappointed that the car wash at the BP garage close to Mum was partially dismantled. I assume someone has vandalised it. I'll have to plan a different car wash location on next week's visit.

There was some good wildlife stuff on earlier

Tonight, I started reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I tried reading this a while ago, but I wasn’t in the mood for it and bailed after about twenty pages. But a few days ago was the date of the events described in There Will Come Soft Rains, the penultimate chapter (or story - it was originally separate short stories, brought together and rewritten as necessary to make it cohesive), so people were posting about that and having read it, I figured it was time to start again. I’m nearly halfway through now

Tonight is unpleasantly warm. But as well as being Monday, tomorrow will be the coolest day of the week, with 34°C predicted for Thursday!

Goodnight all

CBS, etc, but a little cooler this morning. Suspect that won't last long.

Sunny start with wispy stuff, but there’s thicker cloud moving in from the south and west. It’s 16°C and expected to hit 24° today, then become increasingly unpleasant through the week before starting to cool down a little from Friday. The barometers are up a bit at 1006/1014mB

Feeling a bit meh despite sleeping reasonably well. It’s probably the weather

Morning.

Monday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky with high wispy clouds.

21.3 deg in here, 22.8 in the kitchen, 20.5 in the leanto, 17 out the back, 18 in the saltinghouse.

1012.5 mBar, 29.9 in Hg, 759.4 Torr, 14.68 psi, (up from 1009 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 2nd of April 2020, between 14:05 and 15:21, barrydidit, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, vetran, WTFH, and I popped in. All the handwashing was making the fingerprint thing on the batphone less reliable for some.

Appointment at the dentist for 09:50 tomorrow.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Walk (much abbreviated due to the inclement weather) walked. Lady & child looking for Neath whilst walking towards Tonna. I hope I gave them useful directions.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 guff: how we got to here: Russia.

Sky Arts: Movies: the unique style of Powell and Pressburger.

Blue sky and high level wisps. A gentle breeze is wafting through my office window. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 24) with a high of 27 expected. Barometer steady at 1019 mBar.

Just about got myself out of bed in time to attend a 9am meeting this morning! It's one where I just listen in rather than have to contribute, fortunately. Another meeting coming up and that's the sum total of my billing day.

A recruitment consultant approached me on Friday when I was flying back from Glasgow (BA wifi was working well for a change!) and we agreed to have a chat today. I expected to hear no more but I still sent them a note this morning to see what time they wanted to talk. To my surprise, they called me back straight away. A bit awkward as I was in the aforementioned meeting but I'll call them back in an hour and see if anything comes of it.
