This evening’s viewing was Police Interceptors

And tonight I read more of Eve’s Hollywood. She’s a very good writer, with a distinctive turn of phrase

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

The bed has been remade, thereby averting any cause for dismay

[NickFitz]

There's a reason for leather jackets & trousers being A Good Idea. :.

I don't think my scars are still visible.

No helmet of course.

Them were the days. .

Apparently this guy’s helmet had broken in two when he hit the road so all in all, he was pretty lucky to have got away with a skinning

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

[DoctorStrangelove]

He’d fallen off the back of the bike when his mate who was driving pulled a wheelie, so the whole of his back was skinned

I forgot to close the bedroom windows and blinds and it got up to 28°C in there by the time I remembered

But that was about three hours ago and it’s dropped back to a slightly more reasonable 24° already

I’d been meaning to change the bed over the weekend but kept forgetting, so I’ve left the mattress to air for now and will make it later, when it may even be a bit cooler

From what little I recall from nearly 60 years ago, falling off a James motor scooter at about 10 mph along a red ash road is pretty unpleasant. I dread to think what 100mph is like. .

Lunch has been some leftover hot wings with ketchup

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[WTFH]

Been wasting all morning trying to solve a MySQLI database problem for my small company. I deleted some columns for products we don't sell anymore, but when I list orders it is still using the old structure. WTF???

Do you need to re-define indices and clear caches?

Oh well, got an old fart meet up later at a nice local farm.

Just a hint of a wisp from my vantage point. Currently 24 degrees ('feels like' 26) with a high of 32 expected. Barometer down to 1020 mBar.

Sunrise 04:52; Sunset 21:19 BST

I didn't stay up to watch the football. There was fortunately less comment on it on R4 Today than I feared too.

This evening’s viewing was 24 Hours in A&E. Turns out sliding along a road at 100mph without protective gear doesn’t do much for your complexion

Morning.

Monday.

We lost. So much for the sombrero and the tequila. . It's a horned helmet and Aquavit next, then. .

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Can't see the top of Drummau so it's either raining or about to rain.

21.6 deg in here, 22.25 in the kitchen, 21 in the leanto.

1014.5 mBar, 29.96 in Hg, 760.9 Torr, 14.71 psi, (down from 1017 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 AndyGarbs, Anonimouse, churchill, eek, and wattaj popped in, while Brillo popped in a lot, with churchill finding that his late mum had "invested" in various scam gold coin "quarter sovs" that were a proper ripoff (as one might expect from the endless adverts on daytime tv) and the battery back up was even more of a ripoff. Fun getting old, innit? .

Shopping trip to Morrisons started well then turned into a stagger due to the leg playing up again: done dusted washed dried santised & put away.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the random postcode thing on R4: OX2. Seemingly a hairdresser who doesn't wear shoes.

Classic Movies: Flash Gordon (not to be confused with Flesh Gordon, a somewhat different production lacking music by Queen).

Last 10 minutes of "Ride the High Country (1962)" with that Randolph Scott chap.

45 minutes of following links about The Ropewalk, Neath.

Further Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves. Wonder if he'll kill owt in this one. Nope, the new punt and the dressage was inneresting though. Which is something I never thought I'd say. .

Tea: chilli con carne with rice etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. <click>

Bab5 S1 E20 "Babylon Squared": Zathras! Delenn & the Grey Council.

Book.

History's mysteries: Gardner Museum theft.

History's mysteries: The ark of the covenant: FFS it's in that giant warehouse place, everyone knows that, they've seen the documentary with the Nazis & suchlike.

Morning all
Misty earlier on, but that has burned off, apart from in the valleys.

A pleasant long walk was had earlier. Looks like it could be another hot one today.

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start as things begin to warm up again, and the wind which sounded very blustery last night has died down a fair bit, though it’s still there. Currently 18°C, it’s expected to reach 28° for a sustained period this afternoon. The barometers are down at 1006/1014mB, though that won’t stop the heatwave which is expected to reach 31°C again this week, but only on Friday; the rest of the week toys around with the high twenties. As of this time next week, things will start cooling back down a bit
