More pork pie for lunch

As promised, it's cloudier out. But it's more of a wispy state of affairs than a gloomy overcast one

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Sunday.

Damply dry.

Grey.

Wanly sunny.

Warm in here at 21.3 deg, 22 deg in the kitchen, 20 deg in the leanto.

1006 mBar, 29.707 in Hg, 754.56 Torr, 14.59 psi, (up from 1001 last night), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 24th of October 2019 LM found it was curry day in the canteen and to celebrate she had soup, later she ventured to Greenford with HWMBO, NF had shredded chicken breast for lunch, after which he cleaned the deep fat fryer and did the laundry, whereas I pruned the apple tree & failed to kill it, following this with chilli con carne for tea & BTVS "The Wish" as entertainment.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the wan sunshine & cool breeze which reduced the sweating considerably.

Scalded finger due to stupidity: the frozen peas helped a lot.

Lunch: baked spud etc.

Entertainment: Mark Steele's in town: Stoke.

TWTW.

Morning denizens

Sunny start, expected to become cloudier, then go back to sunny this evening. The temperatures are more civilised, being 15°C with an expected high of 20°, while the barometers are up a little at 999/1007mB

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast but dry day, after a walk it will be time to start constructing the wall. I believe the unwritten rules are no noisy power tools before midday on a Sunday, but I have some digging and other prep to do, along with moving the sleepers.

[NickFitz]

The rain didn't happen as much as in other places though there was a shower or two during the evening, and another one is currently ongoing

Our dad's Premium Bonds won £100 last month. He had it set up so they just get used for more bonds

Today's extensive selection of wildlife shows were almost all about sharks for some reason. Such programmes always remind me of the Pathetic Sharks in Viz, and I find it hard to take them seriously after that

Goodnight all

There was some unscheduled rain on arrival into Richmond but, as I was on the bus, it didn't affect me.

Lunch and the catch up were very nice, followed by a couple of drinks before heading home.

[NickFitz]

For tea tonight, I ventured forth to the kebab shop for kebab and chips

I felt a couple of spots of rain as I was getting back, but it doesn't seem to have come to much

[NickFitz]

Walkers pork pie for lunch. That was an impulse buy yesterday, and present me is very grateful for past me's impulsiveness

[WTFH]

Afternoon all following on from yesterday’s summer, today we are back to rain

[NickFitz]

Afternoon denizens

Cloudy out today and with a light breeze. A bit cooler at 23°C with an expected high of 24°, as the barometers head downwards to 995/1002mB

Morning.

Saturday.

Grey.

Dark.

Dreary.

Sunless.

Cooler side of phew wot a scorcher in here at 21.6 deg, 23 deg in the kitchen, 21.5 deg in the leanto.

1001 mBar, 29.5595 in Hg, 750.8 Torr, 14.52 psi, (down from 1006 last night), 75% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of October 2019 NF concluded his viewing of Breaking Bad after consuming chicken in redwine sauce, and xogg discovered that some of his mapping problems were due to the data being metric rather than the Imperial he'd assumed.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked during which it deigned to drizzle upon me.

Lunch: baked spud etc.

Entertainment: book about railways: I've reached 1910.

Who'd have thunk?

Entertainment: The Mentalist S1 E13.

Hammering down now.

Tea: soup etc.

Entertainment: PM. <click>

Scotland Yard: The Silent Witness: the bookshop owner who murders his wife & pleads manslaughter.

Trump on the telly at the moment: appears to think indoor rallies are safe: obviously hasn't watched "The Manchurian Candidate". .

Dixon of Dock Green S22 E3: Vagrant (1976). Nice twist on the wino's identity.

The Mentalist S1 E14, E15, E16.

Am Dro. May have watched this before. I had. I featured a moron who did cage fighting.

The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre The £20k kiss. Blackmail. Couldn't be arsed so went to bed.

[eek]

Pali!

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Dull, overcast, humid. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer down to 1008 mBar.

Popped to the farmers' market this morning. Picked up some goat leg steaks for HWMBO to cook up when he's back next week. The Isle of Wight tomato stall doesn't take back their reusable boxes, which I feel is very poor form.

Off to Petersham Nurseries for lunch this afternoon.

Having rewatched the Hunger Games films, it was time for the premiere of the prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023). It's good but let's face it, it was only ever going to be an adjunct to the originals. It's a reasonably entertaining way of passing some time if you like the original story, though

Following which, I was in the mood for something based more in reality, so rewatched In the Name of the Father (1993) about the appalling miscarriage of justice in the case of the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven. Very good, but it cannot be stressed to filmmakers often enough: judges in British courts don't have gavels! They're only used on Bargain Hunt in this country

And then a further episode of The Wire

I remembered to make the bed before all of the above - no duvet

Goodnight all
