Tedious drive down, much better drive back.

When I arrived, my brother was clearing out the kitchen drawers and cupboards and managed to fill two black bags with tat. There's no shortage of dusters and ice cube bags.

Is the White Lion(aka Stage 6*) still there?

*so called when Ealing Studios was active, as it had 5 sound stages :-)

There's a Red Lion, opposite Ealing studios? https://www.theredlionw5.com/

I was mooching around Northfields though as I'm now West Ealing based rather than one of the other flavours.

After nice walky had couple single vodkas at club, unusual for almost teatotal me. Told I had been spotted in town with a loony lady. Then boring hour cleaning up greenhouse overgrown with bindweed.

I awoke again a little after eleven

I got up late this morning and feel much better, although was only 9 not 11.

Lone day today except maybe call in at village club. Must plan me walky.

Morning denizens

On the cloudy side out there today but with frequent sunny spells, and a light breeze as well. Warmer though, as it builds up to the Bank Holiday scorcher: already 20°C and reaching 23° soon. The barometers are much the same at 1009/1016mB

I awoke a little after eight and almost got up then, but fell asleep again. I awoke again a little after eleven, and felt much better for the extra three hours of sleep

I had a mooch around the various shops on that road as, although I've lived here a year, I've not really bothered to see what's there.

Morning all

Blue sky with fluff. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 23 expected. Barometer steady at 1021 mBar.

Sunrise 06:01; Sunset 20:05 BST

I was woken shortly before 8.30 am by the washing machine turning on. I had set it to a delayed start before going to bed last night. It started about half an hour later than I expected but it's close enough.

The usual weekend drive to Sussex by the Sea will take place today. I wonder what argument my brother and Mum will be having today?

Morning.

Sunday judging by R4.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Cool in here at 19.7 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 18.5 in the leanto.

1013.5 mBar, 29.92 in Hg, 760.2 Torr, 14.6995 psi, (unchanged), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 10th of February 2020 it was snowing on NF whilst he was single stepping through someone else's code, it rained on WTFH, however BR14 avoided it and the hail by being in the pub: dry when he went in & dry when he came out, whereas I had a nice bonfire & probably got soaked during it.

Walk (towpath) walked. Canal even lower. The bit where it was all of a foot wide is now 3 inches wide.

Photographs taken. The kind that need developing after I found a film in the cupboard.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the noise the fridge makes plus my tinnitus, it being Walter Gabriel repeat time of day, like.

Book.

Some R4 tosh about something I've completely forgotten.

Freecell score: 83%, running average: 83%.

More book. The sheer incompetence of the Orange Micropenised Moron is breathtaking.

Noticed next door's New Slave was busy "gardening" now I don't do it any more. . Naturally the other idle **** was nowhere to be seen, as per usual, but his slave was out there in the sunshine slaving away.

Tea: beans on toast with scrambled egg. I may be getting bored with this.

Entertainment: last 10 minutes of "Deep Impact", about 30 seconds too late to see the "Daddy" bit.

Feck all else to watch judging by the EPG.


Book. Yet more book. Only 60 pages to go with the Orange Micropenised Moron's first term and his first two impeachments.

Not quite as much wildlife stuff as usual today as they apparently felt that the occasion of it being a Bank Holiday weekend justified putting The Great Escape on at six instead

In The Rewind Files, our time travelling agent has been pulled back from 1972 to her own time (the future) for various complicated reasons

Goodnight all

For some reason I am no longer receiving emails when someone quotes my posts. Settings look normal. What gives?

The new owner of CUK must have cocked up the mail configuration

^^ I have plenty of blankets!

The bed has been made and it's not bedtime yet

I have been giving High Potential a try. A TV show that only lasted one season. Implausible police procedural based around a woman who sees things (patterns, not hallucinations) that seasoned detectives don't. It's entertaining enough but I can see why it didn't last. There's only so far such a premise can go, and it's been done many times before.

The winter duvet was dropped off for cleaning and, as I don't need it urgently, will be ready on Friday.

Snow forecast for Thursday. Ne'er cast a clout etc. .

Nice afternoon with unlisted loony lady, walk then tea at her place. No invite to bedroom unfortunately.

Recently I heard about a small Indian restaurant just beyond the far side of the city centre, hidden away down a dead-end side street lined with old factory buildings, which is supposed to be very good. So tea tonight was brought from there, and what I'd heard is true: really good food, generous portions, and cheap too! I'll definitely be ordering from them again
