Lunch has been the rest of the cold cocktail sausages

A bit late getting it though, as I was engrossed in mucking about with new forum stuff

[xoggoth]

Gawd! Knocked over my mug of coffee and it spilled onto an extension lead and triggered the RCD in the garage. Now I've got to go round setting all the clocks again.

Lone day today, loony lady 1 has got a hospital appt.

Hopefully an uneventful day at the coal face today.

Morning denizens.

CBS here with some wispy clouds. Quite different from yesterday morning...

Not much on here today, pretty empty in the calendar as befits a Friday.

It’s a cloudy day, though there’s some blue gaps to the west so maybe it’ll brighten up later, though the app doesn’t think so. The wind is a lot lighter but the current temperature of 12° still “feels like” 8°; the expected high is 16°, and the barometers are heading back up at 998/1006mB

Morning all
Sky is clearing and the sun is streaming in my office window

TFIF, etc.

Off up to Surrey this weekend.

Morning.

Friday apparently.

Dry (currently).

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

18.7 deg in here, 19.5 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto, 14 in the saltinghouse.

1004.7 mBar, 29.67 in Hg, 753.6 Torr, 14.57 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of March 2020 as the plague progresses WTFH was sleeping on his own, I went shopping, and BR14, LM, NF, and scruff popped in, whilst BR14 received a delivery of groceries from a mate who also delivered to his lady friend.

Awakened unbidden at 06:15 with one of those lovely work dreams again FFS. This one was about designing some radio or other. Very odd. And I was working away just to make it even better. Chucked it in & woke up to find it was all Just A Dream.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Twinged my back picking up the wash basket: what with the bad knees and a sore back I am truly fecked & not in a good way. Ho very hum.

It rained: shirts in the TD and iRoned: now airing upstairs. The rest of it is still out on the line in the sunshine.

Unlike last week when a sweat band might have been required in the saltinghouse, today I needed a jumper. And I closed the door to keep the draught out.

Entertainment: the Archive Hour: Alistair Cooke from 1999.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the above (continued).

Everything in off the line, that requiring the iRon received it, all airing upstairs now.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.

"They" have been doing stuff to the leak in the canal. Huge pile of clay dumped near/over it.

Timed it right coz the drizzle has just commenced.

Very now. Maybe I should have abbreviated the walk.

This evening’s viewing was E3 of Legends

And in The Middle Kingdoms, things went from bad to worse in the years up to 1945. But here comes Stalin, so maybe things will get better now?

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been sweet & sour pork out of the freezer, with fried rice

Rain due soon, but then it’s expected to be a clear night. Still breezy though

Another week done!

The young magpies seem to enjoy playing around beneath the rose bushes. I think they’re intrigued by the petals that have fallen with the winds of the past week or so, as one of them carried one out to the lawn and they all seemed to have a try at eating it before giving up and going off to inspect the rear wheel of one of the cars. Meanwhile, their mother is keeping an eye on them from nearby

[ladymuck]

Well it turns out my weather app was correct and it's definitely been a mix of sunshine and showers with no hint of a thunderstorm.

Busy day at the coal face with more meetings than I consider desirable. Most were productive so that's not so bad.

[NickFitz]

The young magpies are back!

The parents had continued their anxious patrolling of the area this morning, with no sign of the young ones. But the three of them are down on the lawn now, fussing around the mother! The wind’s dropped a bit, so maybe they’d done the sensible thing of taking cover and waiting until they were able to get back against it

It’s tech debt day today, meaning no meetings. I’ve done all my dependency updates, so now I’m going to pop down to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and do the shopping

[covbob]

Morning denizens.

Rather grey and overcast here in Sheffield - not that I can see the sky with a car park on one side of the window and an office block the other. There's the tiniest bit visible down the other end of the office.

Mahjongy thing this morning. Have to hang around this afternoon for blokes coming to fix (I hope) my leaky conservatory roof.

Darned annoying, Outlook not updating on my new PC, don't fancy reset as took me ages yesterday to set it up, kept going round in circles, having to enter details over and over.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Cloudy but bright and dry (at the moment). Breezy. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Looks like a day of sunshine and showers. Barometer down to 996 mbar.

Sunrise 04:48; Sunset 21:12 BST

HWMBO's weather app was forecasting thunderstorms today, at the times when my weather app was saying it would sunny/cloudy. Whose will prove to be right?!
