    Morning.

    Thursday judging by the racket on the road earlier.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Where did the rain go?

    21.1 deg in here, 22.75 in the kitchen, 20 in the leanto, 16 out the back, 16.4 in the saltinghouse.

    1016.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 762.4 Torr, 14.74 psi, (up from 1012 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 2nd of April 2020, between 10:44 and 10:57, covbob, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, and NF popped in.

    Washing frenzy in progress.

    Morning denizens

    Sunny start today, with the merest wisps of fluff here and there. It’s still quite breezy though, so 14°C right now “feels like” 11°; the expected high is 21°, and the barometers have leapt back up to 1009/1017mB

    Thursday!

    I was thinking of doing the shopping at lunchtime, as work isn’t exactly busy at the moment. But I want to go to M&S again and it takes too long to get across town and visit both there and Sainsbury’s, so I’ll probably leave it until tomorrow

    This evening’s viewing was more of the Lockerbie thing, in which tiny pieces of circuit board are a bit of a giveaway, while the CIA is trying its best to be as unhelpful as possible

    And later, I read more of Just a Shot Away in which the Altamont concert has started degenerating into mayhem almost immediately

    Thursday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    This morning, the dishwasher did its magic, and this afternoon it was the turn of the mundane laundry

    Afternoon all

    There's been and now it's just cloudy with occasional sunshine. Currently 15 degrees and the high was 16. There might be more rain later. Barometer up to 1007 mBar.

    Sunrise 05:29; Sunset 21:16 BST

    A quiet day. I did some washing up while HWMBO and his eldest went grocery shopping. Logged on to gig1 for a couple of hours to justify billing. Had a look about for more work (none suitable found). I'm quite enjoying the time off but I know I'll start getting very bored next week.

    No idea! It was returning blank pages, but they were the result of a 500 Server Error. Then for a while it was working but every URL returned the home page - I’d not seen that one before!

    I almost did some work there while the system was down.

    Murky earlier, then the sun came out, but it's overcast again. No rain forecast.

    It's a gloomy grey day out and there's been a brief bit of drizzle. It's also pretty windy, so the current 19°C "feels like" 16° and the expected high is only 22°, for which much thanks. The barometers are up very slightly at 999/1007mB
