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.

Back in the day, IIRC, a chap from my parents' church was questioned by the plod who thought he was Christie. Long Long Ago.

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

Tonight's viewing was the new episode of Ambulance, and an old episode of 24 Hours in A&E - though the latter wasn't that old, as I remembered a couple of the patients

And then a few more chapters of The Peepshow, in which Christie's attempt to convince the jury that he was insane has failed miserably, and he has thus been sentenced to hang

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

[NickFitz]

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

Speaking entirely from personal experience: make sure the mofos dig a hole in the right grave. .

Though my father would have laughed his head off at what happened at my parents interment, what with the oiks digging a hole at the wrong end of the row. .

Same again

Meanwhile on email, we're having a discussion about interring our parents' ashes in the family grave up in Liverpool. Surprisingly, the thing that seems to throw up the most complications would be having a priest show up to perform a blessing, so we're probably not going to do that

Next on the agenda: do we try to get it done before Christmas, or do we wait until next year

His favourite funeral was the one where they carried the coffin to the grave only to find there was a terrier down the hole chasing a large rat.

Proceedings duly paused until matters were put right*. .

*Very probably not from the rat's point of view. .

The sun has just come out!

I daresay it'll go back in shortly

[NickFitz]

Bacon bap (white) for lunch

Afternoon all

Dull, damp. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 11. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.

Down in overcast Sussex, it's a little warmer at 13 degrees.

Mum's boiler has packed up, thank goodness we've got a replacement booked in for two week's time.
