Morning. 
Wednesday apparently.
Damp.
Was grey, now sunny.
20.6 deg in here, 19.8 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto, 15 out the back.
1001 mBar, 29.56 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (up from 999 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 5th of April 2020, between 17:37 and 18:26, in popped barrydidit, LM, MrMarkyMark, and me.
Jack Hargreaves Old Country: mink hunt: after the otter hunts were banned, now something rather more useful: mink hunts. Geese & the raising of geese.
I won't ask WTAF anyone ever hunted otters, or stags, with dogs.
Dear old Bob Ross painting a nice picture of a mountain. Yesterday's was painted on a black canvas, this one was painted on white "with a very thin coating of liquid clear". Glad we've cleared that up.
.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. More water in the canal this morning, it was approaching empty above the lock yesterday. One conversation.
Turns out next door but one is also suffering from this lurgie, so it's not just me. And he can't have caught it off me since we've never been closer than 16 feet for weeks.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: dashcam bollox S4 E3. Scottish Islands Grand Tour thing: The Shiants, Isle of Ewe, Gruinard (though he did not land
), the Summer Isles, Tanera Mor, Frank Fraser Darling, Handa.
The Alaska Homestead thing: Vermont. Another bunch of incompetents: this lot haven't got a roof or a bridge for vehicular access. A prime example of paralysis by analysis. So the Raneys installed a bridge to get the JCB across the creek, dug out a road up to the property, built a sunken greenhouse (yes: there is such a thing), built a bear proof compost area with built in airhorn, found a spring & installed 100m or so of waterpipe, made a strawbale garden, and put in actual walls between the bedrooms, fixed the roof by removing tarps & replacing with metal sheeting, and drug his piano up from the shed at the bottom of the hill. Strewth that greenhouse & garden worked well in a mere couple of months.
Tea: soup again. Entertainment: PM. It went <click> several times, particularly when the current no hoper in #10 came on waffling about some association football company who've been a bit naughty in the sight ofThe Lord some other footballing numpties.
The Tredegar House thing Yng Nghymraeg again.
Jack Hargreaves Out of Town (1986): sheep shearing. Sea bream.
Bab5 S4 E15 "the exercise of vital powers". Mr Garibaldi is off to Mars.
The latest Alaska Homestead thing: (well it's more inneresting than the Blazian bollox alternative, though that's not saying a lot). Back to Florida again for flooding and aligators.
