^^^ An Om for NF.
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.
995 mBar (though it went up from 994 when I tapped it), 29.382 in Hg, 746.3 Torr, 14.43 psi, (down from 996 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).
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.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 09:14.Leave a comment:

Just had 3rd call this morning, some barely comprehensible jabbering about my computer. Why is there no way to send a bomb down a phone line?
PS That just gave me a great idea for a silly story if the little writing group I'm trying to set up ever gets going. Ta scammer!Leave a comment:

Morning all
Early walk in very blustery conditions, but quite mild. Right coat was worn for the wind and light rain, but totally the wrong one for the warmth (11C)Leave a comment:

Morning denizens
Snow!
Not a huge amount here; maybe a half-inch to an inch. But it's real, and it's sticking on the cars and lawns and roofs, albeit not to our drive
It's currently 1°C ("feels like" -5°) with an expected high of 3° for the day, while the barometers are expressing their concern by dropping to 986/994mB. The snow will peter out by nine or ten after which it'll be breezy, with sunny spells towards late afternoon

Tonight's reading was a bit more of Jeffrey Bernard.
And enough people I follow have left Twitter for Bluesky in the last few days that it's becoming a viable alternative. It's very much like Twitter used to be years ago, with little in the way of trolls and no algorithm to drive engagement farming. We shall see how it goes because these things always end up having their problems, but it's a nice change for now
Goodnight all

Heard someone use a phrase earlier that I hadn’t heard in years, except it was a variation on the one I remember. He said “I’m going to rip your arm off and slap you with the soggy end”
Made me think back to where it originally came from, and supposedly it’s been used in lots of things over the years (such as Buffy), but the earliest I could find was Blake’s Seven, although that was “beat you with the wet end”. I actually prefer “soggy”, it’s a bit better.

Hello from Glasgow
Got to HWMBO's about 5.30pm. It was starting to get frosty out and it's now -1 degrees with a low of -6 expected overnight. Barometer at 1002 mBar
In trying to check in for tomorrow's flight home, I fired up my work laptop and discovered a meeting booked for 9am. Not funny.
Very tired but hoping to stay awake for another hour or so before bed.Leave a comment:

Tea has been the remaining KFC leftovers
Accompanied by a new Police Interceptors
I'm feeling very tired this evening. Could be the weather, or maybe I didn't sleep too well last night

The rain arrived on schedule and is still here, also as scheduled. But I chose to ignore it and went for my walk, incorporating a visit to the pharmacy to collect the monthly prescription

Lunch was leftover snacky bits from KFC - hot wings and so on - with lashings of ketchup
It's been variable here but turned rather gloomy in a final sort of way now. The rain seems likely to arrive around sunset
