    Today we wandered around Pike Street Market (the birthplace of Starbucks, we didn't go to that bit) and then took a wander down to Pioneer Square.

    It's now nearly 4pm and we'll soon be getting ready to visit a university friend of HWMBO's for dinner.

    I must have blinked & missed that bit. . Then again much of E3 was "watched" with the sound muted.

    There are times when the Lucan-hunting chap's obsessive nature gets a bit exasperating, but it's worth persevering to the (surprising) end

    This evening's reading has been a bit more of Lying for Money, with some interesting lessons in business strategy from the accountant to the Kray twins

    Thursday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Another Scrambled Maps that seemed like it would be a nightmare but I got it in ten moves, though helped rather by seven or eight tiles (of 25) being in the right place to start with

    This evening, I finished The Peepshow in which the death penalty was eventually abolished
    I was wondering why such a subject would be covered in a David Mitchell comedy episode until I Googled it.

    I remembered I had a smallish bit of steak & Guinness pie left in the freezer, so that was lunch

    The slight mist first thing thickened into a definite fog after an hour or so. Not sure when it dissipated as I was working by then, but it's a sunny day with an almost clear sky now

    CBS, etc. I even went as far as wearing a heavier jacket over a t-shirt. I prefer cold and dry to raining -when it comes to walking.

    Morning denizens

    Bit of a misty start, but looks as if it'll turn into a sunny morning once the sun gets high enough, before clouding over towards lunchtime. Getting chilly in the morning now: 3°C to start, though rising to 11° later. The barometers remain quite high at 1025/1033mB
