      Tea has been ribs and chips, being the mango chutney-based BBQ sauce of my own devising, but no longer with the Sainsbury’s TTD chutney as they’ve stopped making it! There’s an alternative premium mango chutney on offer which looks very similar, though not identical; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s made by the same outfit as made the own-brand one. Anyway, it works well enough for my purposes

        The drive home was uneventful.

        The bed has been made.

        Dinner came from Wing Stop.

        An episode of The Curse of Oak Island has been watched.

        It's early but I feel I've had enough of today.

          Tonight’s motion picture premiere was Tornado (2025) in which a Japanese puppeteer and her father find themselves in conflict with a band of robbers in a remote part of 18th century Britain. This was utterly bleak throughout, but in a good way if you know what I mean. Well worth watching, but it’s not setting out to cheer you up, and it won’t

          And then I rewatched Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024). I appreciated this much more the second time around. I understand why George Miller used the storyboards for this to get people to sign on for Mad Max: Fury Road because it’s a story one really needs to know the resolution of. Although it has plenty of mayhem and insanity in its own right, it does an excellent job of imparting an understanding of just why the mayhem and insanity shown in Mad Max: Fury Road happened, and in the way they did

          Finally, the second episode of Dark Matter which is still OK in its way but… I’m not sure it’s going to grab me. It still feels like one of those things that’s worth watching if you’re going to be watching TV anyway, not something that leaves you hungry for the next episode, and then for the next series (or season)

          Goodnight all

            Morning.

            Saturday.

            Dry.

            Grey, very grey, as grey as a 's arse grey.

            18.8 deg in here, 19.5 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto, 16 out the back.

            1015 mBar, 29.97 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (down from 1016 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

            Meanwhile on the 4th of April 2020, between 15:34 and 15:50, in popped Brillo a lot, with LM and MrMarkyMark lending a hand.

            Did better than yesterday & woke at 05:50 this morning, read book, and went back to sleep. Strange dream where the previous owners of the house wanted it back despite them having died some 20 odd and some 30 odd years ago.

            Shocked: someone doesn't know who Sarah Connor is. .

            Entertainment: thing about Penrhyn Castle Yng Nghymraeg on S4C. Very Gogledd Cymraeg too. Nice to know it was all built on actual slavery in Jamaica and oppressing the workers in north Wales.

            Lunch: brunch.

            It's drizzling/raining with a really really fresh breeze blowing the trees about. Grass is growing again, feckit.

            Ah, all ist klar: 'tis Fairweek: it always rains on Fairweek. All the stalls will be gone & the rest packed up by tomorrow. Oh the relief.

            Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. Tice comes on <click> Not listening to rightwing scumbags: elect the bastards once & lo! no more elections. Ever. Next thing you know they'll be looking for lebensraum. .

            Entertainment: Maigret "The cactus (1961)"

              Morning all

              Cloudy but dry and bright. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 23 expected. Slight chance of rain. Barometer at 1023 mBar

              Sunrise 06:31; Sunset 19:23 BST

              I slept very well last night and woke about 10 mins before my alarm.

              Today I'm off to Chelsea to see a few exhibitions at the Saatchi gallery with a friend, followed by a long lunch somewhere on the King's Road. She's packed her husband off to spend the day with his parents so it's going to be a good girlie day out.

                Afternoon denizens

                It’s a cloudy day except for a few small patches of blue, and it’s very windy, with the trees gesticulating frantically. So the current 21°C “feels like” 17° and the high of 22° won’t last very long. It’s expected to be a relatively mild night though, not dipping below 16°. The barometers are hanging around the same general area of 1014/1015mB

                    Tea was brought to me from the Indian street food place. Very spicy, very tasty, very filling
