Afternoon denizens

Another sunny but cold day, with a bit more in the way of small clouds lurking on the horizon. It’s 6°C, having already been up to today’s high of 7°, and will be dropping to 2° tonight which is a slight improvement, as last night it got down to -1°. The barometers are down a bit at 1002/1010mB, heralding a rainy week to come

Woody volunteer thing this morning before rather long drive to get PSA test provided by local charity. Went for what looked a nice walk nearby from OS map, only to find it surrounded by new build houses.

Tea was brought to me from the Indian street food place. Very tasty

 

[xoggoth]

Street food? Sounds like road kill.

The usual wildlife stuff was on today

It’s finishing earlier than it did though

Tonight, I read more of Point Zero, in which the bodies are starting to pile up

Goodnight all

Morning all
Heavy rain out so we have chosen to stay in and see if it clears in an hour or so.

Morning.

Sunday.

Wot WTFH said: Wet, very.

Grey.

Sunless.

12.7 in here, 11.3 in the kitchen, 7.5 in the leanto, 6.5 out the back.

993 mBar, 29.32 in Hg, 744.8 Torr, 14.4 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom with drizzle for the last half mile or so. Two conversations, one about rugby, of which I know little & care less.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: thing about some tech bro or other who's well on the way towards killing us all. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" etc.

Morning all

Dull, overcast, raining, breezy. Currently 11 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 13 expected. Barometer at 1000 mBar.

Sunrise 07:17; Sunset 16:15 GMT

Took Mum out for a few hours yesterday afternoon. She didn't like the cold so I had to pick indoor places (garden centre*, etc). It's unlikely we'll go out today but I will pop to big Tesco to pick up a few bits this afternoon.

*Most of the local garden centre is indoors and is non-garden related. Mostly Christmas tat. I attempted a walk around the outdoor plant section, which is covered, but she didn't like that.

Also started watching Honey on BBC1 last night. Quite good.

Morning denizens

I awoke at a reasonable time feeling unreasonably tired, so drifted back to sleep for a bit longer and feel better for it

It’s still dry here, with a fair bit of blue sky; the cloud is increasing though, and the rain is expected to arrive in an hour or two and remain for the rest of the day. It’s 5°C but “feels like” 2°, and the expected high is 7°, with the barometers heading rapidly downwards at 986/994mB

 

[ladymuck]

The wind's gotten up and the rain is much more enthusiastic.
