Book reading thing this afternoon after me walky, I'd actually read something.

No good just saying that, the assembled congregation needs to know more.

Burger and fries for tea

This was one the TTD burgers that are a bit smaller but have a really nice flavour. I’m out of sesame seed buns so I need to make some; the question is, do I make them smaller to fit one of these burgers, or larger so I can get two in them

I discovered last week that they make those burgers in a larger size, so tea has been one of those with chips

To go along with it, the Swedish Customs thing. A passenger from Thailand had a large bag of ant eggs, and it turns out you’re allowed to bring up to 5Kg of them in

Tonight, I finished reading A Quiet Place, because there were only about thirty pages left. Very good story of a man losing control and ruining his life not because of what he actually feels about a situation, but because of what he feels society would expect him to feel, even though nobody else either knows or cares about it

So then it was time for more by Seichō Matsumoto, to wit, Suspicion (Japanese title: 疑惑, which means Suspicion - first of these I’ve read where the English title is a direct translation) which is more of a short story, being just under a hundred pages

Goodnight all

Morning all
Didn't go out until 05:40 for our walk, but still managed 10,000 steps on it.
The Wife slept through until 4am, mostly due to morphine and codeine.

Steel yard (weighing scales). Overreach cushion for a heavy horse. Assorted bits of old iron: ancient flat horseshoe (it's not an ox shoe, maybe the oak island nutjobs should have watched this before spouting their nonsense). A really obscure circular thing alleged to be a cart brake. An even more obscure iron construction alleged to be for a pig's snout.

Morning denizens

It’s grey and hazy but not really foggy this morning, for a change, though the yellow warning persists. Currently 6°C and expected to reach 9°; the barometers are properly down this time at 1001/1009mB

Morning all

It seemed quite bright with patches of blue sky when I got up but now it's clouded over. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 6) with a high of 10 expected. There may be showers later. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

Sunrise 07:11; Sunset 16:19 GMT

Already fed up this morning.

 

[NickFitz]

Busy day today, in the sense of there being a lot of meetings. But they were mainly about fairly interesting technical stuff, and there was also time to get some proper work done, so it wasn’t too bad

Tea has been pork steaks with chips and beans

Accompanying viewing was a Netflix series about serial killers, starting with a Mexican chap who rode the rails and murdered people who just happened to live near railways in the late 1990s and early 2000s

Nice walk with new lady this afternoon, the predicted rain never happened. Coffee and cake at vineyard cafe after.
