Lunch: cajun chicken breast in a wholemeal bap with a bag of plain crisps
Sunny out, but still chilly I reckon

morning people
having proper vision back in one eye is great!
just saying, like ;-)
snow here (as in white stuff, not 'sno here' as in 'it's somewhere else')
just waiting for a date to fix the other eye now.
3C (feels like -4C)
King Billy, definitely.

Morning all
Almost went apex going out for our walk this morning, then found that one of our gates had frozen shut so I had to go the long way round the house to get through a different one.
A proper hard frost mean walking on some of the paths was very crunchy.
Now back inside warming up.

Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still but managed a walk to the viewless point (something I haven't done for years now), whereas LM had salad for lunch (in December ), and covbob observed that it had gone grey despite being sunny earlier, and Brillo said some stuff.
Knee playing up. Must be the weather.
Snow on the hills across the valley.
Freecell score: 100%, running average: 80%.
Lunch: brunch.

Morning denizens
Some bands of low cloud on the horizon but also plenty of clear areas of sky, leading to a chilly start at -1°C. It's going to be sunny, but despite that it's not expected to get any warmer than 2°C. The barometers are up a bit though: 996/1005mB
Wednesday! Already halfway through the week!

Read some more of Lying for Money, about Charles Ponzi and a number of other schemes that went to pot in the same kind of way as his
Quite tired again tonight. I reckon it's the work being so boring that does it - spending all day never really getting started means it's easier to wind all the way down early
Goodnight all

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans
This was accompanied by the most recent episode of the Gloucestershire night policing thing
My diligent viewing thereof over four series was finally rewarded by an excellent view of the place where I used to live
It was down to 0°C by the time I finished work today and will dip to -1° overnight, but supposedly it will "feel like" -7°. So exercise has been taken without venturing outside, and I'll be keeping the bedroom window shut tonight

Old farty arty thing this morning. Gave an old lady neighbour lift there to see what it's like. Won't be going to me karaoke, too bleedin' tired.

Having taken fifteen minutes or so to rearrange some of thejunkvaluable artefacts in the study, I've managed to liberate the exercise bike from where it's been trapped ever since it was moved over here. So I don't have to go out for a walk for the sake of exercise on what promises to be a very chilly evening
I remembered last night that both my cardiac episodes happened in late November during a very cold spell, which helped motivate me. Of course, I was in a very cold flat back then which can't have helped, and this place is much cosier. But you can't be too careful

Lunch: a Pukka sausage roll
Very nice, but insufficiently filling. I should have got two

Morning all, Glasgow calling
Cloudy but with sunny patches. Frosty. Currently 1 degree (feels like -2) with a high of 3 expected. Barometer at 1005 mBar.
I'm here until 3pm when I head back to the airport to go home. HWMBO left early this morning to head to Amsterdam for work. We will be meeting in Berlin on Friday.

Morning.
Tuesday.
Wet, very wet.
Grey.
Sunless.
Cold in here at 14.2 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 11 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still , the weather was foul here there & everywhere, vetran had more sausages, and I ventured to the library to spread my germs about like a good socialist. .
No walk today since it's currently pissing down & unlikely to stop any time soon.
Read book. Other book.
Lunch: brunch.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. How do I use so much milk? I suppose the calcium must be doing some good.
Walk (abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom & light drizzle: had a chat with a lady on the way back down.
2 minutes late at the dentist's due to chat with lady on the way down. As a result of the machinery on the path earlier I left mud on the chair. :.
Mug of drinking chocolate when back home. . (Well there's a goodly amount of milk).
Tea: battered haddock (Tesco) etc. Nice enough.
Entertainment: PM.
Book. Other book. Book.
The Bad Skin Clinic: woman with acne. chap with steatocystoma thingie: she zapps them with a laser then squeezes the contents unlike Dr Pimplepopper. Woman with a lipoma on her shoulder. Woman with rosacea.
Shooter S1 E5, E6. More .338 goodness. Go ahead, make my day.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 21:57.
