    Morning all

    Sunny with high level wisps. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 11) and that's the high for the day. Barometer up to 1007 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:48; Sunset 16:41 GMT

    I forgot to put the bins out yesterday and only remembered when I heard the racket earlier this morning. There wasn't much to be collected so waiting a fortnight isn't much hardship. However, I do need to sweep up the leaves in the garden and try to remember putting the garden waste bag out next week.

    Forum loading very slowly today.
    It was overcast with light drizzle earlier, but that has cleared and now we have clear blue skies.
    The Wife's cousin from Wales is coming to visit today.

    Morning.

    Tuesday <checks clock> Yes. Tuesday.

    Yet another horrible jobs dream. I hate those. Much as I've hated so many jobs.

    Damp.

    Wanly sunny.

    High cloud.

    Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

    1004 mBar, 29.65 in Hg, 753 Torr, 14.56 psi, (down from 1005 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 26th of February 2020 AndyGarbs, BR14, LondonManc, LM, and Brillo popped in, NF was doing a bedding wash, and my leg was very painful: shortly off to see the doctor.

    Morning denizens

    Lots of sheets of cloud out, but with big gaps starting to open up from the south and west, and likely to be clear later. It's still windy, so the current 10°C "feels like" 3°, and I assume we'll be similarly shortchanged on the expected high of 13°. The barometers are dithering but nominally up at 992/1000mB

    Almost finished reading Heathern

    And I did some more mucking around with RealityKit shaders

    Lots of meetings tomorrow, which is a shame as the other dev and I have been working out how to do something and made some good progress today. But we won't have much time to take it any further until Thursday at this rate

    Goodnight all

    Saturday leftovers here too, Turkish in my case

    To go with this, I started watching American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden on Netflix, a three-parter

    Ended up having a very early dinner that was Thai curry leftovers from Saturday evening.

    The evening's ents has started with the new series of Ambulance on iPlayer.

    Another 2+ hr doing footpath inspection. Back & relax with me puppet parrot. I see that local woodland charity has a photo of volunteers on it's main page, I'm right in the middle with a youngish lady, her arm round me shoulder.

    Lunch: pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

    Very variable weather today. It turned cloudy earlier, now it's brightening up again. Still breezy

    Morning.

    Monday apparently.

    Odd dreams about cats. .

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Chilly in here at 15.8 deg, 15 in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto.

    1006 mBar, 29.7 in Hg, 754.6 Torr, 14.59 psi (up from 1002 last night), 57% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 26th of February 2020 I'd managed to stagger back down the hill very slowly, NF commiserated: when he did the same thing he did it on the front path rather than a mile and a half up a hill, Brillo popped in a lot, eek found a bug in Teams, WTFH popped in.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine. Scarf on again and an umbrella just in case.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y <click>

    More of that thing about the German Jews.

    Freecell score: 86%, running average: 84%. Down at 33% at one stage.

    Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: PM <click>

    The Nazi programme: The Yamamoto. 18" guns & all.

    Oak Island nutjobbery. They found some wood , a bit of carved rock, a chain, and a hook from said chain. The stopping up of the leak in the garden shaft is ongoing. Swamp drained.

    History's Greatest Mysteries: The Antikythera Mechanism: inneresting enough until the Ancient Aliens nutjobs turned up halfway through: plainly fabricated by Ancient Aliens or some far future society and sent back through time: alternatively: it's a time machine.

    Morning all

    Sunny with occasional fluff balls wafting past. Quite breezy. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 10) and that's the high for the day. Cloud cover set to increase as the day progresses. Barometer down to 1005 mBar.

    Sunrise 06:46; Sunset 16:43 GMT

    Once again, the battle commences to get my heating controls to recognise what the time is. It has some nonsense time signal update that overwrites the settings and it's hard to fathom what time zone it actually thinks it's in. It'll take me a week or so of trying options, waiting for the 12 hourly update to see if they stick and trying again.

    Oh, and HWMBO is on his way back to Glasgow.
