Morning denizens

Blueish sky with mares’ tails and vapour trails to the north and west, gradually shifting to high overcast to the south and west, and the rest of the day is expected to be cloudier. Dry though. It’s a bit cooler at 9°C, and the predicted high is only 17°; the barometers are optimistic though, being up to 1008/1016mB

Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: cider making with Charley: different from the previous cider making ep. Cattle chiropody. Who knew it was A Thing?

Joy of Painting with Bob Ross: well I got as far as snoring a little about halfway through. .

I suppose I'd better pop off to Morrisons & buy some milk & other comestibles: need to stock up the tins ready for the oncoming AI disaster. . It'll be back. .

Tonight’s reading turned out to be more Lissa Evans, and why not: Small Bomb at Dimperley, in which the youngest son of a no-longer-wealthy family finds himself unexpectedly inheriting a Baronetcy, along with the eponymous estate and shambolic country house, just as he’s demobbed at the end of WWII after an undistinguished spell of wartime service. As usual, some excellent characters and humour

Monday again tomorrow. Oh well, only four weeks until I have a week off at the end of October

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s overcast and grey out today, and likely (60%) to rain shortly. A bit breezier too, so the current 15°C “feels like” 10°, though it’s still quite mild and the high for the day will be 21°. The barometers are heading down again at 1002/1010mB

Meanwhile on the 5th of April 2020, between 12:54 and 14:39, in popped barrydidit, Brillo, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and me, with me having cooking a leg of lamb to a turn, something I've not done in 4 years or so.

In other news, this cold manflu is a real cracker. . And that broken tooth ain't helping a lot.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom 1 conversation.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: BBC News. Sky News. It's all transpiring at the moment.

In other other news: it's raining.

Book. Finished book.

Tea: beans on crustless toast to avoid yet more problems. Entertainment: BBC News. Sky News. Tina Turner live in Barcelona 1990.

Oak Island nutjobbery: 18:05. Well there's a thing. Another "Roman" coin. No wood. Rumbling noise from underground.

History's Mysteries: Montezuma's Gold.

David Duchovny's Secrets declassified: he couldn't have appeared less inneresting if he'd tried: U2/Area51/UFOs 1950s, Malmstom AFB UFO incident, Goldsboro B52 crash, Israeli Mig21 theft, Avrocar debacle, Madam Mig/Marina Popovich UFO revelations. The truth is out there. Apparently.

70up. Part II.

Monkey Life and other wildlife stuff was on to brighten the afternoon

And later, I finished reading Crooked Heart. Another excellent book by Lissa Evans. I’ve got a couple more of hers to read, but I may take a break to read something else first. Or I may not

Goodnight all

The bed was made after dinner so there'll be no last minute shenanigans.

[NickFitz]

Tea has been brought to me from the nearby East African place

All bed linen has been washed. Enough of it has dried that it can go straight back onto the bed. Not that I've done that part yet.

Afternoon denizens

It’s sunny out, with high wispy cloud here and there, and already at the day’s high of 19°C which is expected to persist until teatime. The barometers seem cautiously optimistic, being up a little at 1010/1018mB

The chestnut tree out the back and the huge sycamore in next door’s garden out the front are getting into their colour-changing phase; it started on a small scale a while ago, but they seem to have decided it’s time to go full steam ahead with it now

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Sunny with occasional wisps. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Cloud cover set to increase by late afternoon. Barometer up to 1024 mBar.

Sunrise 06:54; Sunset 18:51 BST

The bed has been stripped and is airing. First load in the WM. Might not get it all washed and dried today.
