Morning.

Monday.

Grey.

Damp.

Wanly sunny.

Misty.

21.3 deg in here, 21.8 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto, 16 out the back.

1003.5 mBar, 29.6 in Hg, 752.7 Torr, 14.55 psi, (up from 998 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 12:29 and 13:28, AndyGarbs, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and vetran popped in, with MrMarkyMark down to his last 4 pack of bogroll. .

Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: what did the Black Death ever do for us? Why the villages on the chalk disappeared whilst the villages on the lower lands didn't. Visited Knowlton Henge & church. The pond he visits with Ghost in the opening sequence is at Ashmore in Dorset. Ain't the interweb good. . It's a dewpond, which led to yet more twisty passages. No dwarf person of restricted height yet.

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

Washing frenzy started, which should induce the return of the deluge in about 20 minutes or so.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about ADHD and autism.

Dashcam bollox. S3 E1. Missed bits of that due to pegging out stuff on the line.

Shirts in off the line & duly met the iRon, now airing upstairs along with the tea towels.

A mug of coffee was required after all the day's exertions.

The last of the washing met the iRon & is airing upstairs.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country. You can never have too much about The Black Death. . Dozed a bit through that, I seem to be .

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. I rather enjoy this version of it. Entertainment: PM. UFO Bollox on Blaze.

Speaking of which, S12 of the Oak Island nutjobbery returns on the 7th.

Bab5 S3 E16 "War without end": Sinclair returns (briefly).

Maigret's Mistake (Cremer).

Secrets in the Dark, though my tolerance for this particular brand of Blazian bollox seems to be wearing very thin.

Morning denizens

I was awoken by the sound of very heavy rain a couple of times in the night. But it’s sunny and Simpsonesque at the moment; windy though, and going to be quite changeable. It’s 15°C and expected to reach 20°, albeit briefly, with the barometers steady at 996/1004mB

I see I neglected to sign out last night, which I blame on tiredness. So for the record, other viewing during the day had been wildlife stuff, including a film in which David Attenborough told the life story of Jumbo, the elephant who now lends his name to so many things that are bigger than other things. And I had expected to finish To Each This World but I’d been led astray: it’s printed on quite thin, though good quality, paper, and the pages are relatively large. So the upshot is that after last night’s reading, I still have around a hundred pages to go which is probably equivalent to, say, a hundred-and-twenty pages in a regular-size paperback

Chicken and barley soup with a crust of wholemeal for lunch

Rain must have been really rainy last night, little stream at bottom of my garden was full of water. Been tearing me hair out trying to find why my business accounts don't add up. Damn waste of time, if my sister wasn't so keen I'd close it down to save myself the hastle.

Mattress topper and pillow protectors in the wash

It went a bit gloomy and there was, apparently, some drizzle. But now it’s brightened up again
