Here too there seems to be more gaps than clouds at the moment.

Bit of pork pie for lunch

It’s turned sunny out now, but the somewhat Simpsonesque clouds are still whizzing by at a rate of knots

As far as I know, our garden waste gets taken away by the gardener(s)

[ladymuck]

Morning all
Windy out. One of our bins had blown over, although that's not the biggest disaster... last night I put our garden waste out. It's collected every other Tuesday but they take 4 weeks off over Christmas. An embarrassing disaster on my part - the collecting is NEXT Tuesday. Not sure I can show my face in public for a few days.

My first garden collection is next Tuesday too. Not that I have much of a garden needing a fortnightly collection but it does come in handy.

Morning all

Alternating between cloudy and less cloudy with flashes of sky. Damp from overnight precipitation. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 7) and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

Still haven't got the contract for gig 3. The person who asked me to work with them is annoyed by the delay. It's now with Adecco to do checks and issue the paperwork. I reckon I'll be starting next week if I can get the contract and SDS by Wednesday lunchtime for it go for a review.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Was dry now wet.

Windy.

Was slightly sunny now grey and sunless.

Chilly in here at 13 deg, 12 in the kitchen, 10.5 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (down from 1005 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 12th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, BR14, and LM popped in, whilst NF rolled out the bins on the right evening and I was listening to some programme or other about coughs, there being a lot of it about. .

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. An early trip to avoid the rain which was singularly ineffective in thus doing. Ho hum.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling about Werner Herzog, survivalists, people being eaten by bears, and cannibalism in the Andes. Y&Y <click>.

Foyle's War S3 E3 "They fought in the fields".

Something else I was unaware of: beetroot is laxative. That explains that then. . I had wondered. .

Morning denizens

Grey day again, and windy too boot. There are a couple of tiny gaps letting light in, very near the horizon to the west, and the bits of cloud being blown past them have the raggedy look that comes from stormy, or at least breezy, weather. It’s not expected to rain until tonight, but the wind is supposed to be getting stronger shortly, and it’s already strong enough that the temperature of 7°C “feels like” 0°; presumably the high of 8° won’t feel much better. The barometers are only down a little, at 997/1005mB

More reading of Stalingrad tonight; the Germans have nearly made it there. Not many will come back

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips and beans

This was accompanied by The Crash Detectives, in which nobody was killed this time - some life-changing injuries though. With various other serious offences also on the charge sheet, the arrogant young scrote responsible got nearly twenty years, which was nice

The presentation took a while, as I needed to hunt down some reference information, but got done. Then I did some other document updates and called it a day around 4pm.

Now watching yesterday's Masters Snooker final while HWMBO makes my dinner.

Lunch: some leftover Thai bits from the other night

A bit garlicky for lunchtime TBH

TNST as too garlicky

Yesterday evening, HWMBO and I watched Mickey 17. Not bad. Some funny bits.

SPOOKY! - i just read the book this week.
disappointing, as usual.
I find it hard to find NEW concepts in scifi, everybody just rehashes previous work it seems.
Maybe reading it(scifi) almost exclusively since 1962 ish has jaded me somewhat.

Morning all

Dull and damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Dampness set to continue. Barometer down a smidge to 1015 mBar.

Sunrise 07:56; Sunset 16:28 GMT

No meetings today. I have to write a presentation and that's about the sum of today's required efforts.
