Morning.
Tuesday.
Grey.
Dark.
Dank.
Damp.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 19.4 deg, 19.5 deg in the kitchen, 18.5 deg in the leanto.
1005 mBar (less a tad), 29.6717 in Hg, 753.66 Torr, 14.5733 psi, (up from 1000 last night), 72% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 22nd of October 2019 I made my constitutional to the Viewless Point in Mosshouse Woods via a less dangerous pathway, whereas NF debated on purchasing frozen fish from M&S, Sainsburys, or the Coop, then had a roast pork with apple sauce bap for lunch in contrast to my beans on toast and LM's panini, then NF had a nice cup of tea.
This morning started early due to waking at 06:50ish and arising at 07:00.
The intervening time since then has been occupied with the remaining extras on the Veronica Mars S3 dvd, most of which weren't strikingly inneresting it must be said, the commentary having been recorded rather before they found out there'd be no S4. S4 eventually happened in 2019 on Hulu whatever that is.

Morning all
Sunny with lumps of fluff. Dry after the very heavy rain yesterday evening and into the night. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer down to 1005 mBar.
Yesterday HWMBO and I went to the new Picturehouse cinema to see Kinds of Kindness. Absolutely bonkers, thoroughly enjoyed it.
There was much, much rain on our journey there and back. So much that it nearly washed away the parking fine I'd acquired because I'd left my car in a paid for bat, not a residents permit bay. I wonder if that would have been a plausible defence?
Today we are popping down to see Mum as it's nice to take a break from the depressing job hunt.

Rainy grey start out there, though tending more towards the drizzly now. It might stop in a couple of hours, and we may even see a little sunshine towards sunset. Reasonably mild at 14°C heading for 20°, with the barometers down a bit more at 994/1002mB
But one or both of the bin lorries have just arrived, so there's that

Morning allvery dull and overcast out, looked like it was going to tip it down, so I went out in full wet weather gear.
Not a spit.
The sky is vaguely brightening.

Bit of old Police Interceptors earlier
And then back to the short stories of H.G. Wells, including The Pearl of Love and The Country of the Blind
It's been raining here most of the time since teatime, and is apparently intending to carry on doing so until around lunchtime tomorrow
Goodnight all

Water meter removed successfully.
Zipcar have refunded me for the fuel I had to buy and the late return fee.
Job hunting not turning up anything.
Picked up new laundry airers from Argos this morning and one is already being pressed into the service of drying the duvet cover.
A light shower of rain came and went.Last edited by ladymuck; Yesterday, 16:45.

Another cloudy day beckons. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Rain forecast from lunchtime onwards. Barometer down to 1007 mBar.
The chap from Thames Water is due to come back today to remove the water meter and make good the pipework as best he can.
I am currently being very vexed by poor search results when looking for reasons why my front door lock has a feature that means it has to be slammed really hard to close the door. There's a little mini bit that pokes out the top and locks into place. I presume that's to stop people accidentally locking themselves out but the downside is that you have to get some major force/momentum going to shut the door when you do want to close it. I hate slamming doors and I wince every time I have to do it.

Sunny start out, with just a few wisps and strands of high cloud here and there. The weather app has this marked down as "mostly cloudy" so maybe it knows something I don't. It's 14°C and expected to reach 20°, but also expected to get cloudier with rain arriving tonight and stopping over. The barometers are down a little bit at 998/1006mB

Overcast with a yellow warning of rain for 8am, so we kept the walk to about 5km. V. humid out.
