TV today has been the usual wildlife stuff in the afternoon, culminating in the orangutan school, followed by the usual run of endlessly repeated police programmes

Getting an early night now, though any benefit accruing therefrom will be eradicated by the menace of British Summer...

Sounds unpleasant!

Hope it clears up soon ...

No takeaway tonight; tea has been Scotch broth with a couple of bits of wholemeal, following on from a late lunch of ham sandwiches

Afternoon denizens

Cloudy with sunny spells out, and still very breezy. Currently 12°C, with the barometers back up a bit at 992/1000mB

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Fall (2022) in which a couple of rock climbing gals ascend a derelict 2000ft high TV tower for YouTube views, but are unexpectedly deprived of the route of descent once at the top. It does make use of several tropes commonly found among the "lost with...

Tea has been a thick-cut ribeye steak with fried onions, chips and beans

Accompanied, as is traditional, by an episode of Trucking Hell. In this one, Merry's mighty truck was unwell and she had to venture forth in a lesser vehicle

Earlier, the car was a Ford...

Timesheet done

It's turned quite sunny again now, with lots of big white fluffy bits, after the darkness and torrents earlier. A little while ago there were no fewer than eight pigeons browsing about on the lawn, along with the two magpies that seem to be nesting in one of the...

Friday afternoon coffee accompanied by a jam doughnut

[NickFitz]

I bunked off early for lunch and popped over to my formerly local bank branch, where I was able to pay the incorrectly shaped cheque in at the machine

And then down to Sainsbury's where the shopping was done just ahead of the lunchtime rush. I also remembered to take a couple of bags...

Could be; not the kind of car you'd want to be taking out in gritty slush

Back in 2007 or 2008 I was down The Harp on the day the bankers got their bonuses, and a group thereof were standing near me discussing what they were planning to do with their newfound disposable income. I overheard...

Morning denizens

Another sunny start, yet once again it'll supposedly be windy all day. It doesn't seem as windy as yesterday at the moment though. Currently 8°C, no better than 12° due later, and the barometers are still lurking at 983/991mB

Friday! ...

Tonight's car was an Aston Martin DB7, MOT till August but SORN. Maybe it's just having a little rest.

And more gold hunters got their seasons off to starts of varying quality.

And after that, S1E6 of Severance.

And then I finished The Power. A very good book;...

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

Hope you both have it on easy mode <- manly...

Just checked with my Mum and it is indeed called shared care. AIUI you both have to fill in a form from her GP specifying you as the person who can be spoken to about her medical affairs, and once it's in place, they're allowed to discuss that stuff with you ...

Been raining here too. I had thought of popping to Sainsbury's, but it seems the rain will be on and off for a couple more hours

I'll go tomorrow morning instead. I need to go to the bank and pay in a cheque as well - Eon sent me one for the balance on my account at the old place,...
