Bit of old Police Interceptors earlier
And then back to the short stories of H.G. Wells, including The Pearl of Love and The Country of the Blind
It's been raining here most of the time since teatime, and is apparently intending to carry on doing so until around lunchtime tomorrow
Goodnight all

Water meter removed successfully.
Zipcar have refunded me for the fuel I had to buy and the late return fee.
Job hunting not turning up anything.
Picked up new laundry airers from Argos this morning and one is already being pressed into the service of drying the duvet cover.
A light shower of rain came and went.Last edited by ladymuck; Yesterday, 16:45.

Meanwhile on the 22nd of October 2019 there was discussion of Terminator Genesis by vetran, wherease NF was Breaking Bad, I fed the cat so them next door were still away somewhere, LM was working from home, and I was in with the hoi polloi, afterwards buying som M&S breaded haddock, something that'll never happen again.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: gazing out of bedroom window at the rain. TWATO.

Abandoned Engineering: Modelin Fortress, Poland. Essex County Gaol, Newark, NJ. Diamond mine, Namibia. Newland Park, London: suffragettes. None of which were about engineering or inneresting to be fair.
Possibly the Skinwalker ranch EOS at 21:00 on Blaze. Tedious clip show. Even more tedious than the usual dross.

Morning all
Another cloudy day beckons. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Rain forecast from lunchtime onwards. Barometer down to 1007 mBar.
The chap from Thames Water is due to come back today to remove the water meter and make good the pipework as best he can.
I am currently being very vexed by poor search results when looking for reasons why my front door lock has a feature that means it has to be slammed really hard to close the door. There's a little mini bit that pokes out the top and locks into place. I presume that's to stop people accidentally locking themselves out but the downside is that you have to get some major force/momentum going to shut the door when you do want to close it. I hate slamming doors and I wince every time I have to do it.

Morning denizens
Sunny start out, with just a few wisps and strands of high cloud here and there. The weather app has this marked down as "mostly cloudy" so maybe it knows something I don't. It's 14°C and expected to reach 20°, but also expected to get cloudier with rain arriving tonight and stopping over. The barometers are down a little bit at 998/1006mB

Overcast with a yellow warning of rain for 8am, so we kept the walk to about 5km. V. humid out.

HWMBO made a very nice dinner comprising black pudding and tomato sausages form the farmers' market (very good) and a tray bake of Cyprus potatoes, bell peppers and Turkish peppers from the local grocers.
It's late and the bed has not been made...

Speaking of not getting things done, Sundays have reverted to a reasonable mixture of US borders, Antipodean borders, and NZ police being far more polite to people than they deserve
And this evening, I returned to Sam Pepys' diary for 1667, getting through the first half of February - he went in to a lot of detail for most days this year, as is clear from looking at the thickness of this volume compared to the others
Monday yet again tomorrow
Goodnight all
