Morning denizens

Ended up having a sleep in, for which much thanks! It's a grey day out with evidence of rain, or at least a shower, earlier. There was a brief sunny spell about twenty minutes ago but that was shut down very quickly. It's 14°C and aiming to reach 17°, so maybe quite mild for the time of year? Anyway, that's how it'll continue for the rest of the week, maybe even a bit warmer some days. The barometers are much the same at 1008/1016mB

I've just put the two-thirds duvet in the washing machine, now with some detergent suitable for down-filled items. Once it's washed, it'll probably take much of the day to gently dry it completely, if my experience with the one-third one the other week is any guide

Dunno if to spend day by meself or take loony lady 2 somewhere. Hard to find anywhere now she's so feeble. Problem with my area, it's all so hilly and rough. Can still feel that nettle sting today!

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Sort of hazy blue sky.

Chilly in here at 17.4 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 14.5 in the leanto.

1015 mBar, 29.97 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (up from 1011 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 19th of February 2020 I watched yet more ST, BR14 was watching S1 E8 of Hill Street and finding the angst too irritating, whereas NF was watching something Nordic with characters I can't find on the keyboard and everyone had a nice tea.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Must remember to take Morrisons card out of shirt pocket since I don't want to wash it again this week.

I've never washed a duvet: am I a slut? Just askin' like. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus, which is getting louder by the day.

I too succeeded in making my bed and lying in it

The usual glut of wildlife stuff was on the box today. Mostly repeats though

In Andromeda Breakthrough, the people involved with the message from space and matters arising therefrom have become the subject of international intrigue

Early night now. Will I manage to Get Things Done tomorrow after a good night's sleep? We shall see…

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

Back home in that London. Uneventful journey, just how I like it.

The bed has been made. Now to have a lemsip and sleep in it.

[WTFH]

Club suite on BA was nice, currently in the Al Mourjan lounge in Doha. They could do with cranking up the air conditioning.

[xoggoth]

Had a bonfire earlier and got stung by damn nettles. Can still feel it over 3 hours later.

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought from the Turkish place

[NickFitz]

The man with a van that I hired to bring heavy stuff over from the old flat is back! He's moving furniture into the other end of the adjacent block, presumably into the flat that was vacated by the people with the guitars over the course of the past week

[NickFitz]

Sausage bap (white) for lunch. Nice sausages

I've also left the bed to air and will therefore have to remember to remake it later. The used bedding is now in the wash

[xoggoth]

Just got message from loony lady 3 that she ain't well. Have to be a lone walky today.

Afternoon denizens

Grey day out with a light breeze. It's 15°C going on 16°, with the barometers down some more at 1007/1015mB

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Cloudy, a breeze is interfering with the tree tops. Currently 14 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain expected. Barometer down to 1041 mBar.

Sunrise 07:13; Sunset 19:03 BST

Heading home this evening. HWMBO's eldest has kindly offered me a lift to the airport.

My cold is making itself more present. Not a happy bunny. I don't think I'll be visiting Mum tomorrow.

I decided to strip the bed before I left home last week. A decision that was fine while feeling well but now feels like I have created an unnecessary chore for myself on getting home.

Morning.

Saturday apparently.

Happily I wasn't awake at 05:55, but slept through until 08:30 or so.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless (and not because it's before dawn).

Chilly in here at 17.3 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 15 in the leanto.

1012 mBar, 29.88 in Hg, 759.1 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 19th of February 2020 AndyGarbs, LM, WTFH, and BR14 popped in, the weather was uniformly wet so no walk for me, and NF regaled us with tales of stents and coronary bypasses after watching some prog about same.

Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. 38 out. Took so long to pay that I missed the 38 back. Memo to self: don't fecking do that again.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Moneybox. <click>


Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. Getting dark over Crynant, but that's only to be expected.

Now getting outside a mug of mediocre but consistent coffee.

The cry of "Neaf Neaf Neaf" was heard from the rugby ground for the first time in years, such is the state of Welsh rugby, not, of course, that it's of any innerest to me but there you go.

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 84%.

Seems to have clouded over.

Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: PM. Robinson thing <click> since it's the Tory bastard turncoat.

Maigret: The Simple Case (1961). Gosh, hadn't watched that one before: it's the body parts in the canal one. Quite fun.

Various bits & pieces, then I decided to add yet another book to the pile of books in progress, this time a Niven from 1966.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Wide awake, might head to the airport early.
