Morning.
Tuesday.
Damply dry.
Blue sky.
Hints of rosy dawn.
16 deg in here, 16.1 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto, still no screw for the out the back thermometer.
1000 mBar, 29.53 in Hg, 750.2 Torr, 14.5 psi, (up from 995 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 7th of April 2020, between 13:58 and 14:06, in popped Brillo, LM, NF, and me.
Entertainment: Old Country with Jack Hargreaves: sheep auction, shepherd's crook, thing for protecting sheep's teeth. David Boag, the chap who photographed kingfishers went on to photograph little grebes/dabchicks.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked, initially in blue skies & sunshine, latterly in grey skies and rain. Just as well I took the brolly.
Entertainment: thing on R4 about Billy Wilder. As in "I'm still a star, the films got smaller".
Dashcam bollox S6 E2.
Alaska Homestead rescue: Oregon. Another one with a creek running through the middle, effectively built on, yes, a flood plain. Chap had electrocuted himself, was dead for a number of minutes, resussed, then when recovered proceeds to drop a concrete block on his knee which forces the bones in his lower leg through his ankle, which must have stung a bit. Halfway through Matt had to attend to a family emergency so he left. Bridge across creek repaired. Oregon laws don't allow construction within 100? yds of said creek which previous owner had ignored so house had to be torn down. They used the remaining foundations as a turkey run. Made two greenhouses (to get in under the laws about size of constructions), and moved a shed to use it as a sheep pen. 3 months later it looked like it was quite successful.
New series of Cartrefi Cymru: Blaenau Ffestiniog. Yet another place with a fine history behind it.
Bab5 S5 E13 "The corps is Mother, the corps is Father": Bester's back. The corps in question being the Psi Corps.
Who do you think you are?: Reggie Yates (who the feck is he? Askin' for a friend). Still no idea who he is, but he has a rather complicated ancestry resulting from colonial Ghana (Goldcoast as it was then aka The Whiteman's Graveyard): one ancestor by the name of Lloyd, another with the name Yates.
Bravo
