Morning all

Overcast, slightly damp. Currently 4 degrees with a high of 7 expected. Unlikely to rain but the threat persists. Barometer at 1002 mBar.

Sunrise 07:48; Sunset 16:40 GMT

The journey home yesterday was uneventful, despite having to use the Piccadilly instead of the Lizzy Line from the airport. I purposely blocked my diary out until 10 am to have a gentle start to my Monday and it seems no-one noticed nor cared.

Still waiting on gig 3 to produce a contract. At this rate, I might tell them to sod off.

Morning.

Monday.

Dry. (For the moment).

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 12.8 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto, 6.8 in the saltinghouse.

995 mBar, 29.38 in Hg, 746.3 Torr, 14.43 psi, (unchanged but a tad), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, and Churchill popped in (the latter having a pot noodle), whilst LM observed that Ocado was doing well and I observed that the weather was too inclement to bother with the washing, whilst NF locked the back gate then unlocked it after discovering the bins hadn't been done, whereas WTFH went for a drive.

Morning all
After days of rain, it's dry and 4C out. A pleasant walk was had, even if the fields were still quite boggy.

Just a little reminder: Today is Monday, which means it's quiz night tonight. It's the final of Only Connect.

Morning denizens

It’s a grey day again, with a slight breeze that seems a bit chilly. It’s only 2°C (“feels like” 1° apparently) and won’t soar any higher than 4° - though once it has, it’ll stay there right through into the early hours of tomorrow morning, when it'll warm up even more, albeit with accompanying rain! The barometers are bouncing back at 990/998mB

In Stalingrad, winter continues. But things might warm up a little for the Germans when Russia starts its final attack on January 10th

Monday again tomorrow. Oh well, only ten weeks till Easter

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: a fry-up

This was accompanied, as is traditional, by an episode of Time Team

Afternoon denizens

It’s a grey day and supposedly breezy but, once again, the trees suggest it isn’t really. The current and highest-for-the-day temperature of 6°C “feels like” -1° according to this theory, but I don’t expect it does. The barometers are trivially up at 982/990mB

Morning all, Paris calling. Local time 10:20

Cloudy and dull. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 7 expected. Rain forecast this afternoon. Barometer down to 995 mBar.

Sunrise 08:30; Sunset 17:37 CET

Having breakfast before heading out for a wander about. Lunch planned in a bistro near Châtelet then back to the airport and home.

Drizzly.

Chilly in here at 12.9 deg, 11.5 in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

985.5 mBar, 29.1 in Hg, 739.2 Torr, 14.293 psi, (up from 984 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 13th of March 2020 AndyGarbs went beep a lot, LM, covbob, and BR14 popped in, and I had a ginsters Moroccan pasty thing for lunch. I like those & haven't seen one for years.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked, eventually in sunshine, which was a bit unexpected.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus which is particularly loud this morning with the ear requiring attention that it's unlikely to get on the nhs any more.

I think I've reached the end of the interweb.

Book. Other book. Book. End of book.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: Poetry crap on R4 <click>

Oak Island nutjobbery at 19:00. They found a spike. A piece of silver: the only treasure so far. Wood. More wood. A gold plated button.

Sergeant Cork. S3 E1 "The case of the two poisons". yet more abuse of the working class by the toffs, bastards that they are. Just as well they were all syphilitic really.

Book.

Some bollox on Blaze: discovered by disaster or some such bollox. Youngest Toba Eruption 73k years ago. SM1 in Ethiopia. River pools during drought. Out of Africaaaa. Wind River, Wyoming, SepticLand. Native American ancient sites for processing mountain plants. Chert artefacts. Used for 4 millennia by the Shoshone. Lake Van, Turkey. Uartian Ayanis abandoned castle. Olympia, Greece. Bull sculpture at Temple of Zeus. Aurochs.

Morning all still raining here, so our walk is delayed for a bit.

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Bad Boys (1995) which is OK but has that “Nobody in that position would do that” thing going on a LOT. I just realised that in many ways it’s borrowing from Lethal Weapon, so maybe that explains it. Anyway, it’s OK, but if you’re looking for social realism, it ain’t what you're looking for

And then the final three episodes of Hijack. It was supposed to be the next episode, but it’s so good that I couldn’t stop. Cracking stuff

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

For tea tonight, I braved the bitter wind and went round to the kebab shop

It seems rain is about to arrive as well, so I’m glad that’s done and I can stay in here where it’s nice and warm

[xoggoth]

Quite nice sunny walk with ll1. Have yet to plan which restaurant to take her for her birthday. I really don't like restaurants much, food always a bit *** and portions far too big.

Greetings from Paris, local time 16:17. Gorgeous sunny afternoon here.

Currently 9 degrees, and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 997 mBar.

Sunrise 08:31; Sunset 17:35 CET

Just having a flump in the hotel, enjoying our welcome drink, before deciding what to do until dinner time.

Dentistry and shopping done!

The hygienist was a different one to the one I’ve seen for the last couple of years, but she was very good

Then onwards to be reminded of why I stopped going to Big Sainsbury’s on Saturday afternoons. I managed to get what I thought I probably needed, then set off home, only to be reminded of another reason not to go anywhere on Saturday: association football! Luckily I was ahead of the worst of it as the fans were only just starting to make their way there, but the traffic’s bad anyway on Saturdays. So it took me twice as long to get back as I’d expected, but at least when I did, my preferred parking space was still free

Time for lunch now. I fancy a cold roast chicken leg, so it’s a good job I got some
