Morning denizens

It was foggy when I looked outside late last night and there’s been overnight rain while I slept, but the skies are clearing rapidly and it looks like it’ll be a sunny day, for now anyway. It’ll be windy too though, so it may be variable as different conditions could blow in rapidly. It’s 7°C but “feels like” 1° because of that wind, with the predicted high being just 8° for an hour or so mid-afternoon; the barometers are further down at 984/992mB

Morning.

Sunday.

Wet overnight.

Blue sky in one direction.

Wanly sunny from the other through the grey.

Chilly in here at 14.2 deg, 12 deg in the kitchen, 10 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (down from 1003 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 2nd of March 2020: watches.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & nearly put away.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: listening to the dehumidifier rattling away.

Noticed that Tim Berners Lee was on Desert Island Discs last week.

Well there's a thing.

Short sharp shower of hail.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine.

Tea: beans on toast. Entertainment: something on R4 about joining airfryers to Star Trek(tm) which made little or no sense to me. Then again, these days almost nothing makes any sense to me any more.

Book.

Tina Turner in concert San Bernadino 1993: Legs. I like that bit.

Entertainment: Sergeant Cork.

Morning all
Off to the airport shortly.

Today’s reduced quota of wildlife programmes was again supplemented with an episode of Kingdom on iPlayer

And tonight, I started reading A Gun for Sale by Graham Greene, a gritty crime story he wrote in the 1930s before Brighton Rock

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

The mundane laundry has been done

Now waiting for my tea to be brought to me from the south Indian restaurant past the park

[xoggoth]

Managed to finish today's toothpaste inspection before rain got heavy. Need me phone to track location and take photos and swipe screens just don't work when they are wet. With GPS on, runs out of charge in about 2 hours thanks to that stupid Google update. Fortunately got a decent little portable charger for a whole £11.33.

Afternoon denizens

Rainy grey day here

It’s a touch milder with it though, at 7°C which is the high for the day. The barometers are down again at 1000/1007mB. And the rain, though quite light, is expected to continue into the evening and possibly start again before sunrise

I see I didn’t remember to record last night’s viewing, so here it is: the major motion picture premiere was The Family Plan (2023) on Apple TV+, mainly because they’ve just released a sequel and that reminded me that I’d not watched the first one. This is along similar lines to Nobody but done worse: family man turns out to have previously been a secret government assassin, his past catches up with him, so he reluctantly kills everybody. The first hour tries too hard to be comedy, and fails for the most part; it could have been cut down to twenty minutes establishing the situation and getting the plot started. The second hour is a bit better, but could probably have been trimmed down by ten or fifteen minutes too. The film also seems to be suggesting that suburban American life is the best of all possible ways of living for all involved, and I have to say it seems like an absolute nightmare to me

To follow that, a rewatch of Man on a Ledge (2012) which is good, but not as good as Phone Booth

Afternoon all

Dull, overcast, wet. Currently 7 degrees ('feels like' 4) and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 07:31; Sunset 16:03 GMT

Lazy morning. HWMBO and I have cocktails and dinner with friends this evening. He wants to visit Forbidden Planet on the way there so we're just working out what time we'd want to leave.

Om.

So far from the Glory Days of TPD and CUK when there would have been a fierce fight for the privilege of an Om or a PALI.
