    Afternoon all

    Sunny but very cold. Currently 4 degrees, was -2 when I got up this morning. The high was 6 degrees. Barometer at 1009 mBar.

    Busy day, trying to score the next gig, trying to do the current one. Landlady came round to look a the wall being pushed over by a tree.

    Off to the theatre this evening.

    morning people

    having proper vision back in one eye is great!
    just saying, like ;-)

    snow here (as in white stuff, not 'sno here' as in 'it's somewhere else')
    just waiting for a date to fix the other eye now.
    3C (feels like -4C)
    King Billy, definitely.

    Morning all
    Almost went apex going out for our walk this morning, then found that one of our gates had frozen shut so I had to go the long way round the house to get through a different one.
    A proper hard frost mean walking on some of the paths was very crunchy.

    Now back inside warming up.

    Morning.

    Wednesday.

    Dark.

    Dank.

    Dreary.

    Grey.

    Sunless (though the light was really odd earlier).

    Wet: lumpy rain, so plainly on the way to sleet.

    Cold in here at 12 deg, 10 deg in the kitchen, 8 deg in the leanto.

    1009 mBar, 29.795 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1006 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 3rd of December 2019 I was still but managed a walk to the viewless point (something I haven't done for years now), whereas LM had salad for lunch (in December ), and covbob observed that it had gone grey despite being sunny earlier, and Brillo said some stuff.

    Knee playing up. Must be the weather.

    Snow on the hills across the valley.

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

    Lunch: brunch.

    Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

    Book. Finished book. It didn't end well.

    Morning denizens

    Some bands of low cloud on the horizon but also plenty of clear areas of sky, leading to a chilly start at -1°C. It's going to be sunny, but despite that it's not expected to get any warmer than 2°C. The barometers are up a bit though: 996/1005mB

    Wednesday! Already halfway through the week!

    Read some more of Lying for Money, about Charles Ponzi and a number of other schemes that went to pot in the same kind of way as his

    Quite tired again tonight. I reckon it's the work being so boring that does it - spending all day never really getting started means it's easier to wind all the way down early

    Goodnight all

    Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

    This was accompanied by the most recent episode of the Gloucestershire night policing thing

    My diligent viewing thereof over four series was finally rewarded by an excellent view of the place where I used to live

    It was down to 0°C by the time I finished work today and will dip to -1° overnight, but supposedly it will "feel like" -7°. So exercise has been taken without venturing outside, and I'll be keeping the bedroom window shut tonight

    Old farty arty thing this morning. Gave an old lady neighbour lift there to see what it's like. Won't be going to me karaoke, too bleedin' tired.

    Having taken fifteen minutes or so to rearrange some of the junk valuable artefacts in the study, I've managed to liberate the exercise bike from where it's been trapped ever since it was moved over here. So I don't have to go out for a walk for the sake of exercise on what promises to be a very chilly evening

    I remembered last night that both my cardiac episodes happened in late November during a very cold spell, which helped motivate me. Of course, I was in a very cold flat back then which can't have helped, and this place is much cosier. But you can't be too careful

    Lunch: a Pukka sausage roll

    Very nice, but insufficiently filling. I should have got two
