    I still get letters for the woman I bought the house off 26 years ago: from some septic god bothers in California.

    And I get letters for her next door but two, but I like her so there's no problem.

    And there was a letter for someone named Smithers that I returned "not known".

    Plus the council tax demand for some oik who used to live by the chip shop, but I sorted that one with the council before the debt collectors started calling.

    Afternoon all

    There is blue sky and high level wispy fluff. Currently 12 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1031 mBar.

    I clock off in about an hour to travel to the airport for a trip to Glasgow.

    The Mac Mini has finally arrived!

    Not that I have time to do anything with it right now; it'll have to stay in its box until this evening

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Damp (it rained overnight).

    Wanly sunny.

    High cloud with blue bits rather than gloom gloom gloom.

    Chilly in here at 15.5 deg, 15.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

    1032.5 mBar, 30.489 in Hg, 774.4 Torr, 14.975 psi, (up from 1026 last night). Don't think I've ever seen it that high before.

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the chill of the morning.

    Meanwhile on the 30th of November 2019 I was sat next to a mouth breathing moron in the library so buggered off for a walk instead, whereas NF delegated the duplicated post echo thingie, as pointed out by Brillo, to vBulletin. .

    Morning all
    A busy weekend clearing veg beds, planting garlic, re-planting a hydrangea we had grown from a cutting and planting some spring bulbs in the grass near the quince and apple trees.
    Oh yes, and plating scrambled maps - after reading about it on here.

    It seems that Christie-spotting was a popular activity across the UK for the few days he was being sought, with sightings reported from all over the place

    Of course, he never actually got any further than Camden

    Morning denizens

    A not-grey start for a change!

    There's still quite a bit of cloud, but enough gaps for a gold and pink show around sunrise. It's expected to clear even more later, leading to colder temperatures tonight.. Currently it's 6°C and aiming for 11°, with the barometers jumping up to 1023/1031mB

    Monday again tomorrow. Five more weeks till the start of my Christmas break…

    Goodnight all

    Tea was rack of ribs and chips, being the other half of Friday's rack - well, slightly less than half as past me chose to prioritise that meal over this one

    Not the most intensive bout of exercise, but sorting out the recycling and taking it over to the bins has given me a "perfect week" according to the Apple Watch

    I did use the stairs rather than the lift, and given that I'm on the third floor, I suppose that must count for something
