Morning all

Dull but there's gaps in the clouds. Damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 10 expected. The gaps in the clouds may become more pronounced as the day progresses although it'll never quite reach "sunny" status. Barometer steady at 1012 mBar.

Three coffees had so far.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky in parts.

Chilly in here at 14.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

This morning's dream before waking involved designing something with a microcontroller, losing the databook, then wandering around a park where the paths were being raked. Really odd. Another nightmare job.

Meanwhile on the 6th of December 2019 I was still after the 's flu jab, it was generally wet as indicated by WTFH's filthy dog walk, BR14 was woken early by someone starting a compressor & an angle grinder next door at the inconsiderate time of 08:30, and covbob celebrated the deluge, with LM having a slight rant at her then current client, no doubt brought on by being woken by "Today" & having to get out of bed to turn it off, whereas NF discovered that his dental appointment was in December rather than the January he'd expected. I hate it when that happens.

Morning all
A bit of drizzle on the walk earlier, then it cleared up and while the sun is shining, there's also menacing clouds to the north and west.

Morning denizens

Patchy cloud out, tending more towards cloud, leading to a refulgent red-gold dawn. It's expected to remain cloudy, but no rain is expected. Currently 7°C (but "feels like" 2°) with a possible high of 10°, and the barometers are down a bit more to 997/1005mB

[NickFitz]

This morning saw the usual glut of Monkey Life

This afternoon, the Canadian and NZ stuff was all things that have been repeated ad nauseam, so I spent some time mucking about with SwiftUI and Bluesky again

And this evening, as well as more Swift bits, an old 24 Hours in A&E

Monday again tomorrow. Only two more weeks, or eight days, to go till I finish for the year…

Goodnight all

Tea has been a bowl of Scotch broth, followed by a nice strawberry tart

[NickFitz]

It turned sunny this afternoon, but of course it then set almost immediately

As it's the first Sunday of Advent, it's the correct date for putting up the Christmas tree. I've never had one but my parents' one was passed along to me so I just assembled it and hung some baubles (which had been kept in an old Roses tin, as is traditional) on it

Then I put it back in the corner where it had been sitting in pieces in a bag since it arrived, as I can't be bothered to sort out a place for it to be prominently displayed right now. There are fairy lights in the bag too, so I suppose I'll have to find it a space where they can be plugged in

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Overcast. Damp. Currently 13 degrees and that's the high for the day. The sun might make an appearance before it sets. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

Last night HWMBO and I went to The White Horse in Mayfair for a champagne and English sparkling wine tasting. We then took a walk to Nipperkin and had some very fine cocktails there. Ended the evening with dinner at Bebe Bob in Soho. A long lie in was required this morning.

Nice longish walk with neighbours this morning with cafe stop at local vineyard. Nowt this afternoon. Feeling lazy.

[NickFitz]

Light lunch of some leftovers (popcorn chicken, hot wings)

[NotAllThere]

Afternoon.

Cold, clear, blue sky. 2°C.

Cat just got chased into the house by a newly arrived bully boy. Actually, quite a sweet cat to humans, but a terror to our little lady.

Morning.

Sunday.

Grey.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Damp.

Misty.

Sunless.

Warm side of chilly in here at 14.4 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen and the leanto.

1007.5 mBar, 29.75 in Hg, 755.687 Torr, 14.61 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of December 2019 LM posted a nice youtube vid so we could all go Ooooooommmmmm together, I was still though there's no confirmation it was early Chinese Bat Plague of course, NF observed that it was windy though the rain was holding off until he went shopping, and Brillo congratulated WTFH on his Millennium though he still couldn't it.

"Rise of the Freemen" on PBS.

Some bollox or other, probably on Blaze about the Moors and the Templars or something.

As regards Xmas trees: mine's been perched on top of a video recorder for at least 2 years, maybe 3, replete with baubles, fairy lights, and the mandatory Fairy Liquid bottle on top. It was a right bugger getting the hole big enough to fit the ornament through said bottle: touch things these Fairy Liquid bottles.

Morning denizens

Rather grey day out with traces of overnight rain and the chance of more showers any time now. Pretty mild at 11°C (albeit "feels like" 5°) and expected to reach 13° later, but the barometers are down a bit more to 999/1007mB

[NickFitz]

Lots of Monkey Life today, followed by lemurs and baboons and such

This evening, in addition to a bit of mucking around with the SwiftUI/Bluesky stuff, I read more of Shepperton Babylon, specifically all about Gainsborough Studios and its stars

Early night now, ready for more Monkey Life in the morning

Goodnight all
