Morning all
A very mild 11C out, with not a breeze. Expecting rain later.

Cloudy but mild today, being 11°C already, though the wind allegedly makes it “feel like” 4° and it's only getting to 12° later. There’s also a 35% chance of rain in an hour or so, though if it comes, it won’t persist. The barometers are back up a bit at 992/999mB

Going to be busy today I reckon - I want to make sure I leave stuff in a good state so my colleague isn’t stuck fixing my mistakes during the additional week she’s working before starting her break

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s viewing was an episode of The Crash Detectives

And in the GSG 9 book, the first problem in establishing an elite counterterrorist force turns out to be that in the early 1970s, nobody’s quite sure what one should be like. But they found valuable inspiration from underground publications that circulated among terrorist groups, advising how to structure urban guerrilla units

Monday again tomorrow, and it's my last working one of the year!

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

I put extra blankets on my bed last night, even though it wasn't particularly cold, and was very snuggly and cosy. The extra weight is very nice; reminded me of visiting my grandparents as a kid where beds were made with flannel sheets and woollen blankets, not these modern duvets.

I deployed the electric throw thing inside the duvet cover the other night. Keeps my feet lovely and warm, and also adds a bit more weight to the covers

[NickFitz]

We had some rain this afternoon but the sky seems to have cleared now, so I’m getting an excellent view of Jupiter and the Moon ascending in close company with one another

[NickFitz]

Tea has been more leftovers, just to get them finished off

I’ve also managed to do a bedding wash, which is not far from being finished

[ladymuck]

It's turned quite breezy outside. I can hear the bins being rattled about.

[xoggoth]

Going to local carols in the square thing later with loony lady 2. Boring but summit to do.

[NickFitz]

Lunch was some leftovers

I’ve spent a few hours either side of it working out various things to do with the new forum software. Reasonably confident now about being able to sort out some rather gnarly stuff to do with the data import side of things

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Raining and will continue to do so for much of the day. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer at 999 mBar.

Sunrise 07:53; Sunset 15:53 GMT

Decided against visiting Mum today. Much achiness and the bruises on my knees are already starting to come out. Hobbling a bit as my right knee isn't liking too much weight on steps. One of these days I'll rent a flat that's actually flat.

Gloomy grey day out, with a damp feel to things although it’s not actually raining. It will be this afternoon, though. Currently 8°C (which allegedly “feels like” 4°), and supposed to soar to a balmy 13° later. The barometers have crept back up a little, to 987/995mB

Damp.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 14.2 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

993 mBar, 29.3232 in Hg, 744.8 Torr, 14.4 psi, (down from 997 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 5th of March 2020 Brillo, AndyGarbs, and LondonManc popped in, LM was irritated by sniffers on public transport, WTFH was leaving coming home on a jet plane, and I was in with the hoi polloi before purchasing some bread.

Raining well now and the mist is even thicker: can barely see across the valley, boyo.

Lunch: brunch.

Raining more. Mist thicker. What a lovely day.

Firkled about with an old Win95 laptop I was given: it was bringing up errors during book, so, for the first time in years, I edited autoexec.bat, config.sys, and system.ini to remove references to stuff that isn't on it any more and to replace references that pointed to the Wrong Place. Boots up more cleanly now but I need to run scandsk on it & scandsk isn't there having been deleted to save space at some time.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: something on R4.

Book. Other book. Book.

History's Mysteries: Noah's Ark. It went <click> even quicker than usual being full of Septic god botherers.

Sergeant Cork: S2 E2: "The case of the 4th visitor".

[NickFitz]

Tonight I started reading GSG 9: From Munich to Mogadishu by Martin Herzog, being the history of the creation of Germany’s much admired counterterrorism unit, created in the aftermath of the debacle of the 1972 Olympics

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s tea was brought to me from an East African restaurant not far away. Very good indeed, and big portions too! Definitely going to order from there again

This was accompanied by the next episode of Kingdom on iPlayer, in which the lions are managing to turn things around after a run of bad luck

The usual, already much diminished, wildlife programming has been eliminated entirely, replaced by loads of Christmas-themed junk
