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!

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

Afternoon all, Heathrow calling

Haven't actually looked outside but my weather app says it's cloudy with rain due soon. Currently 8 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1012 mBar.

Uneventful flight back. Arrived at a bus gate which actually works out an easier trip than trekking from B or C gates.

Now waiting on our flight to Glasgow.

Good luck!

Just back from visit to old uni mate. Not too many traffic jams by usual UK motorway standards. Out to dentist shortly. Grrrr.

Dentist?? - what's that??

Morning.

Monday.

Damp.

Dreary.

Wanly sunny to start, grey & overcast & raining now.

Chilly in here at 14.5 deg, 12.5 deg in the kitchen, 12 deg in the leanto.

1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (unchanged), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in sunshine to start, grey & picking with rain at the end.

Odd dream about red squirrels and house renovation. I wonder what that means.

Meanwhile on the 2nd of December 2019 there was more discussion of the CUK Cookbook & the sad reason for its creation (RIP doodab, is it really 10 years?), the McMillan giftaid site (now at £1575), whereas I attended a funeral in Morriston crem (presumably MV's mum) and then returned home to chop a branch off the apple tree*. It's a lot easier to get to Morriston crem by car (that trip) than by two buses (last September for my butty's funeral).

*Never happened due to lack of innerest. .

Lunch: brunch.

Entertainment:

Freecell score: 100%, running average: 80%.

Read book.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM. Bit of that pub quiz thing.

Read book.

Curse of Oak Island: the blob. More wood. A pipe tamper (for pushing tobacco down in a clay pipe). Some rusty right angled piece of crap. The "Roman" coin from "Iberia". The mysterious well right next to a pond right next to the sea on Lot 26. Reddit reckons it's a karzi.

Good luck!

6x6 I only do them at 5x5. Absolutely impossible on my mobile phone screen so I have missed out this last week.

Oh and good luck!
