Not been for me wonky today. I'll go round the village later to look at all the xmouse lights. -

Morning.
Tuesday.
Grey.
Dark.
Dank.
Damp.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Warmish side of chilly i here at 13.4 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.
1018.5 mBar, 30.07 in Hg, 763.9 Torr, 14.77 psi, (down from 1025 last night). 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 11th of December 2019, long long ago and far far away, NF had a polish at the dentists, whereas LM was trumping in the library, and DaveB stole Brillo's zenchury rather than BR14 doing it, and I was renewing the sealant around the kitchen sink.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.
Lunch: brunch.
Entertainment: book of the week on R4 about some scumbag Septic dystopian photosearch thing.
Good news: 37 varieties of MK single & dual 13A sockets (made in China) recalled due to arc flash fire generating potential. Nice to know that outsourcing to China is so safe.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 13:10.Leave a comment:

Morning all
Damp and cloudy. It was raining when I left home but it stopped halfway to ClientCo's office. Further rain due off and on all day. Currently 8 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Barometer down to 1025 mBar.
I really must phone the garage and get my car booked in for a service.Leave a comment:

Another grey but dry start, albeit with a bit of a dew. As so often nowadays, it's 7°C which "feels like" 3°, with an expected high of 10° later. And the barometers are down a bit to 1012/1020mB
I'm expecting a delivery from Harvey's Brewery today, coming via APC. Last update was that it was at the local depot and "out for delivery" around half eight this morning, but no "live delivery information" is available "right now". So I've no idea if that just means it's been put in the back of a van and further info will be available when it actually leaves the depot, or if they just don't give any more details and I simply have to wait until they show up

Darkest morning walk for a long time, the clouds were heavy, preventing even the hint of morning twilight.Leave a comment:

I came to the end of Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man in which he's having an unexpectedly dull time at the Front, and started on Memoirs of an Infantry Officer which picks up from the point where that ends
I may go shopping tomorrow. Then again, I may not. Tuesdays are usually a fairly quiet day at the shops, but I don't suppose any days are really quiet this close to Christmas
Goodnight all

MorningAfternoon.
Monday.
Grey.
Damp.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Warmish side of chilly in here at 13.6 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.
1027 mBar, 30.327 in Hg, 770.313 Torr, 14.895 psi, (unchanged), 66% RH (Lidl electric).
Shopping trip to Aldi & Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & almost put away. Made the mistake of buying more pitted dates and the bigger mistake of opening the packet.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.
Bumped into a neighbour from down the road whose wife is in hospital with oesophageal cancer, the very thing that killed my grandfather in 1948 a year before he could get his pension.
Meanwhile on the 11th of December 2019 there was much discussion of dentistry by xogg, opm, and NF.
Lunch: brunch.
The afternoon was spent fettling computers: the ancient 586 sprang to life fairly readily (bits of it date from 1990), the Win2k box from about 2010 required surgery to glue new 1000uF capacitors across the really dubious looking 1800uF 105 deg caps next to the processor.
After which it sprang into life, though for how long is anyone's guess.
Its brother (same mobo & processor) has developed a fault where the audio bit crashes the thing which is rather irritating. I wonder if similar surgery might help.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: bits of "Christopher Robin (2018)". Stone me, he had a wonderful relationship with his parents: thank feck for Nanny.
I am now utterly knackered.
Some dumb car search programme: Rusty capri, a surprisingly unrusty Lanci Delta Integrale (it came from Japan so no salt on the road, apparently). Got bored. Turned it off.
Oak Island feckwhits: the metal detecting moron finds a hatchet head: obviously it's Viking, innit. They're down the garden shaft drilling stuff sideways. Chap takes a wood sample from some random oak tree. Faffing about with some wall near that "unique well" near the pond near the sea. Now they're taking said walls to bits. Apparently they find gold in something or other. Probably 10 parts per billion.
Looks like this one is the last until after Xmas. Bah fecking humbug.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 21:45.Leave a comment:

Yerevan, Armenia done in 23 moves (5x5 grid). Would have been 22 if I hadn't accidentally dropped a square one place lower than I'd intended.
Towel wash on. Dishwasher emptied and the washing up HWMBO did before he went off to work yesterday has been put away.Leave a comment:

Morning denizens
Fairly sunny day out, though with quite a few clouds scattered hither and yon for decorative purposes. It's a warm 9°C and aiming for a positively baking 10° with the barometers up rather at 1017/1025mB
The Apple HomePods have just been delivered! After such a hectic weekend (one social event, one corner of the kitchen tidied up slightly) I'd forgotten they were coming, but they're here now. I've also been notified that my new recliner will be delivered a week from today. Some sorting out of the living room needs to happen before that arrives, so the pods will have to stay in their boxes for now
