It was unreasonably hot when I popped out to post Mum's birthday card. Glad my little office is generally on the cooler side.

Lunch has been a bit of leftover curry and naan, cold

I need to go to the chemist’s for the usual monthly bag of pills, which were delayed this month because of the annual medication review stuff meaning I haven’t got any of most of them left and can’t postpone it. Quite annoying, as it’s getting very warm. But apparently it’ll cloud over later in the afternoon so I’m putting it off until then; I may as well avoid getting sunburnt as well as overheated

Morning all

Sunny with a few wisps. Currently 27 degrees with a high of 31 expected. Barometer down to 1016 mBar.

Sunrise 04:53; Sunset 21:19 BST

Meetings this morning. Got asked to do something that I'd already done last week, so my anticipatory skills scored me brownie points

HWMBO is putting on a BBQ this afternoon for a few members of his family (his favourite niece and her kids) while I slave away working. That said, I'd rather not be hanging around a BBQ in this weather.

Morning.

Tuesday apparently (checks clock).

Grey.

Misty.

Can't see Drummau so it's either raining, about to rain, or there's going to be snow.

22 deg in here, 22.9 deg in the kitchen, 21 in the leanto.

1011 mBar, 29.854 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.66 psi, (up from 1010.5 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, LM, MarkyMark, and WTFH popped in.

Another work dream, though of little consequence. .

Washing frenzy in progress, though I could feel the moisture in the air as I pegged the shirts out on the line.

Sun's out now.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Classic Movies: Billy Liar. Not one of my favourites, but inneresting enough.

Book.

Outback Wreckers. Strewth Bruce it's a bit warm. Last in series.

Washing doesn't seem to be drying very well.

That requiring the iRon received it & now airing upstairs.

Entertainment: Archive Hour: The IGY Trans Polar expedition.

Further Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves.

Morning all
Misty earlier (a bit like yesterday) but it's now burned off.
Even though hot air is supposed to rise, the downstairs of the house is a lot warmer than upstairs. Windows are open, but it appears that local farmers must be muck spreading.

Morning denizens

Cloudy start and the weather app thinks we’re getting some light rain right now and for an hour or so, though we aren’t; maybe it’ll show up soon. It’s 18°C (“feels like” 15°) and expected to reach 26° before getting proper hot over the next few days. The barometers are down a touch at 1004/1012mB

It’s odd that the recent hot spells don’t seem to be associated with particularly high pressure. I’d expect it to go much higher than that when 30°+ is expected in the next couple of days

[NickFitz]

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

[NickFitz]

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
