Tea has been shepherd's pie. Very tasty

Accompanied by the final episode of Lucan

[NickFitz]

Another Scrambled Maps that seemed like it would be a nightmare but I got it in ten moves, though helped rather by seven or eight tiles (of 25) being in the right place to start with

Quite nice meeting at pub this morning with local history society bunch, all old farts as usual. Nice sunniesh walky later.

This evening, I finished The Peepshow in which the death penalty was eventually abolished

I was wondering why such a subject would be covered in a David Mitchell comedy episode until I Googled it.

Meanwhile on the 1st of December 2019 LM was surrounded by fost & frog, and, in a Cunning Plan had smashed 6 dinner plates & a pyrex dish at a family do the previous evening.

I remember that event. The family still take the mickey out of me for it.

Morning all, Seattle calling, local time 0643

Dark, sun rise is at 0713. Raining and that's expected all day. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Barometer at 1000 mBar.

Our flight was an hour late but otherwise had a very pleasant time. Knackered though.

I remembered I had a smallish bit of steak & Guinness pie left in the freezer, so that was lunch

The slight mist first thing thickened into a definite fog after an hour or so. Not sure when it dissipated as I was working by then, but it's a sunny day with an almost clear sky now

Morning all
CBS, etc. I even went as far as wearing a heavier jacket over a t-shirt. I prefer cold and dry to raining -when it comes to walking.

Wot is the opinion of "Lucan"? .

I'm finding it pretty interesting - I'll probably watch the third and final part tonight

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Bit of a misty start, but looks as if it'll turn into a sunny morning once the sun gets high enough, before clouding over towards lunchtime. Getting chilly in the morning now: 3°C to start, though rising to 11° later. The barometers remain quite high at 1025/1033mB

Lying Tory bastards: who'd have thunk?

Wot is the opinion of "Lucan"? .

[NickFitz]

This evening, I finished The Peepshow in which the death penalty was eventually abolished, in part because of the case of Timothy Evans. The book ends with an interesting discovery in the National Archives: a record of something Christie said to a prison officer immediately after his sentencing that appears to completely exonerate Evans, which was suppressed by the Conservative government (all the correspondence about it between the various politicians involved is also in the archive) who feared it could make a forthcoming vote on the death penalty go the "wrong" way

And then I started on Lying for Money: How legendary frauds reveal the workings of our world by Dan Davies, which promises to be an interesting read

Wednesday tomorrow! Soon be Thursday

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips and beans

Accompanied by the second part of Lucan

And preceded by a nice walk

Also today, the mundane laundry was done

[xoggoth]

Just wondering if I can be a*d to go to karaoke.
