Finished off some KFC leftovers for tea because they’d only get chucked away otherwise

[sadkingbilly]

morning all
CBS and positively parky, bordering on King Billy this morning.
got a rat in me kitchen..................

Oh lovely. I remember that happening next door. Ever so much fun.

As in "who spilled All Bran in the cutlery drawer".

It wasn't Allbran.

Said rat had come up behind the kitchen units.

The then current cat wasn't much help.

You're never more than 10 feet from a rat.

I had mice in the salting house for a while but the B&Q traps sorted them out.

Found a dead mouse under the burner of the central heating boiler not long after I'd bought the house.

And mice had been exploring the back bedroom which explained why the then current new cat was so innerested in the corner.

Morning.

Monday.

Dry.

Blue sky with high not so wispy clouds. I shall shout at them shortly.

20 deg in here, 20.6 in the kitchen, 18.5 in the leanto, 15.5 out the back.

1014 mBar, 29.94 in Hg, 760.6 Torr, 14.7 psi, (down from 1016 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Ditto: "Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 05:39 and 07:59, AndyGarbs, Brillo, Churchill, MrMarkyMark, and WTFH popped in, with Brillo drivelling.".

Welsh Water are back again, sucking silt out of the sewer.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Welsh Water are still here sucking silt out of the sewer. And judging by the noises coming from that sucking pipe it's coming out in big lumps.

They do seem to be having fun. Every now & again the pipe blocks up & needs fettling.

They've gone. Side passage has now been domestosed to death to ensure there's nothing nasty about. Couldn't find the bottle of other stuff I was looking for, so the Morrisons bleach had to do.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: some chap waffling on about art in a NY museum.

Dashcam bollox.

I forgot about the Sky Arts Art in Film thing but there you go and there it went.

Shopping trip to that Aldi done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Exciting trip due to the ongoing gas main replacement which, today, involved a minidigger with a concrete breaker attachment and a really big feckoff vacuum cleaner lorry to clean the resulting hole out.

Plus the requisite 5 people standing around looking at it, though they weren't supplied with shovels to lean on.

Gosh. I've walked 4 miles today. Well there's a thing.

Minor potching in the garden: the pile of brambles is now twice the size it was. Once the deluge returns I may have a nice bonfire to get rid of it all.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: catching a fish he'd never encountered before: American brook trout, which, as expected, isn't a trout. He caught one. Trotting race. He bought the winning horse.

Tea: chilli con carne with rice. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM.

Took some empty jam jars down to the garage so I can put yet more nails in them. .

Entertainment: Bab5 S3 E11 "Ceremonies of Light & Dark". The Nightwatch Nazis take the Good Captain and Delenn prisoner.

Maigret (Cremer version: very long & moody). "Maigret's war of nerves": the one where arranges for a chap to escape from prison.

Blazian bollox: Secrets in the Dark.

Morning denizens

Clear blue sky with only the merest of wisps in a couple of places, and the open overnight sky has helped cool things down: currently 12°C, though climbing to 21° later. There’ll be a few warmer days as the week progresses, but nothing higher than 24°, before temperatures plummet along with the coming of much rain, just in time for the Bank Holiday! The barometers are down a touch at 1011/1019mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc, with a very pleasant drop in temperature - almost an autumnal chill.
Farmers are out muck spreading which must mean they are expecting rain in the next few days.

[ladymuck]

Morning all, local time 0952

Blue sky! With lumps of fluff. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Might be a sunshine and showers type of day. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Sunrise 05:59; Sunset 20:47 EEST

Yesterday we ended up having a random wander about the old town and towards the harbour. Dinner was at an earlier time so we headed out to see a photography exhibition on the way. Managed to dodge the showers.

Today is our last day in Tallinn. I need to buy, and send, postcards.

[NickFitz]

There was some wildlife stuff on this afternoon, but I missed a lot of it because I was working on new forum stuff

Tonight, I read more of To Each This World. I’m getting into the story, but the writer has a couple of tics which grate on me slightly. Worth persevering with though, I reckon

Monday again tomorrow! At least there won’t be one next week

I noticed last week that I was getting tired again, particularly in the afternoon. Yet on Friday, I was fine. I suspect it was due to getting to sleep too late (and being able to sleep in later to make up for it on Friday) so I’m going to try to get to sleep at a more sensible time this week

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Lunch wasn’t anything, because I had a couple of croissants with strawberry jam for breakfast so I wasn’t hungry

And tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was accompanied by a further episode of the Scottish paramedics on iPlayer

Morning denizens

Sunny again with some very thin high and hazy stuff, but not a lot in the way of cloud apart from that. It’s 17°C but “feels like” 20° with the expected high being 22°; the barometers are up a bit more at 1014/1022mB

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all, local time 1207

Dull, overcast, damp. Currently 15 degrees ('feels like' 13) with a high of 16 expected. Moderate wind warning remains. Barometer down to 997 mBar.

Sunrise 05:56; Sunset 20:49 EEST

Lazy morning so far. Undecided what we will do this afternoon.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

19.8 deg in here, 20.3 deg in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto, 13 out the back.

1019 mBar, 30.09 in Hg, 764.3 Torr, 14.78 psi, (up from 1018 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 3rd of April 2020, between 05:39 and 07:59, AndyGarbs, Brillo, Churchill, MrMarkyMark, and WTFH popped in, with Brillo drivelling.

Walk (abbreviated, 3 miles) walked in the sunshine. Brisk breeze cooled things down on the way back.

Entertainment: Catrefi Cymru: conversions: a chapel converted into a house & inhabited by goths judging by the skulls & such. A barn conversion. Carnegie Library in Aberystwyth converted into a house. Goodness me, that was well built back in 1900 and something.

Dashcam nonsense.

More Dashcam nonsense.

Tea: baked spud & baked beans. Nice enough.

Entertainment: Secrets in the Jungle: they took 20 minutes to explain the Chevy Corvaire stuck in the Darien Gap. They also found a steam engine from some railway line the Evil British had built to a gold mine back in the day. Philippines: Giant rhino tooth, 700k years old with signs of butchery: presumably H. Erectus since neither Sap nor Neanderthals were around yet. Island off Brazil: full of golden lancehead snakes even more venomous that the mainland versions due to catching and eating migratory birds. Kenyan cave with a 78k yo child burial: oldest H. Sap. burial found in Africa.

If there be owt else to watch I ain't found it. Not even Danny Trejo since that finished last week.

DMAX bollox about ghost ships in the Bermuda Triangle. As in Marie Celeste type ships.

Dashcam bollox.

Ditto.
