[WTFH]

2C on our afternoon perambulation.

Having taken fifteen minutes or so to rearrange some of the junk valuable artefacts in the study, I've managed to liberate the exercise bike from where it's been trapped ever since it was moved over here. So I don't have to go out for a walk for the sake of exercise on what promises to be a very chilly evening

I remembered last night that both my cardiac episodes happened in late November during a very cold spell, which helped motivate me. Of course, I was in a very cold flat back then which can't have helped, and this place is much cosier. But you can't be too careful

Lunch: a Pukka sausage roll

Very nice, but insufficiently filling. I should have got two

[WTFH]

11C at 6.30am, 5C at midday.

The snow has stopped and is melting away as silently as it came

Morning all, Glasgow calling

Cloudy but with sunny patches. Frosty. Currently 1 degree (feels like -2) with a high of 3 expected. Barometer at 1005 mBar.

I'm here until 3pm when I head back to the airport to go home. HWMBO left early this morning to head to Amsterdam for work. We will be meeting in Berlin on Friday.

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.

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!

[WTFH]

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)

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

[WTFH]

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.

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

Wot? You can warm up the house for practically zero cost? That's a win!
