Morning all
CBS and a wee bit blowy this morning.
collated all the bits and bobs scattered over the garden by Dave overnight.
Some of them were actually ours, too

[NickFitz]

Slept well after our late evening arrival. Just about to have breakfast and plan our day.

I assume said plan involves flying home again via Helsinki, Genoa, and Cairo

Morning denizens

Sunny after the storm, though with big piles of cumuli. Still breezy so the current 9°C “feels like” 1°; the expected high is only 10°. The barometers have crept up to 1002/1010mB

NotSoChilly in here at 14.3 deg, ?12? in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.

1011 mBar, 29.855 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.66 psi, (up from 1001 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of March 2020 BR14, covbob, DaveB, eek, vetran, xogg and I all popped in.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the brisk wind and sunshine. Another ignorant cyclist who should have met a 9x19 surprised me: no bell, no warning, just hurtled past.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: tinnitus.

There was no Monkey Life today, for unexplained reasons - but it continues next Saturday

But there was some wildlife stuff on later

Tonight, I started reading Antony Beevor’s new book Rasputin and the Downfall of the Romanovs

The storm is finally here! Extremely windy out, and heavy rain from time to time

Goodnight all

Tea was brought to me from the Chinese place past the park. It was good, but not as good as from the nearby one that takes ages; I should stop being so lazy and go there more often

[ladymuck]

That didn’t last long!

No it didn't! Not impressed. I wanted a shower this morning before travelling.

HWMBO and I are now in Charles de Gaulle airport, having some refreshments in the lounge before our onward flight to Porto in a few hours. It's a lovely sunny day here; 17 degrees.

[NickFitz]

The new boiler has packed up. No pressure. I could have investigated how to top it up but the plumber really ought to work out what he did wrong first.

Afternoon denizens

I thought we were supposed be getting lashed by a storm this weekend? There’s a lot of cumulus making it cloudy with occasional sunshine getting through gaps, and it’s breezy, but I wouldn’t consider it “stormy”. The current 14°C “feels like” 7°, so I expect the high of 15° will “feel like” 8°; the barometers are up a bit at 999/1007

Maybe the storm thing was a prank by Carol on her last day

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Cloudy with spits of rain and occasional sunshine. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer up to 1016 mBar.

Sunrise 06:30; Sunset 19:40 BST

HWMBO and I are at Heathrow T4 awaiting our flight to Paris and onwards to Porto.

The new boiler has packed up. No pressure. I could have investigated how to top it up but the plumber really ought to work out what he did wrong first.

[xoggoth]

Relaxy day, nowt I've got to do. Usually Friday or Saturday is a loony lady 1 day but she's at some religious thing in Skegness.

Must think of summit to do with much younger loony lady 4 tomorrow.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

?Saturday?

Wet.

Drizzly.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Misty: no view across the valley today boyo. There's tidy then.

Chilly in here at 14.2 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12.5 in the leanto.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (down from 1010.5 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of March 2020, AndyGarbs, BR14, Brillo, LM, Scruff, WTFH, and openstrike popped in, whilst I moved the Spendor BC2 speakers into the "living room" whereas scruff regretted selling bits of hifi back in 2002 when changing continents.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: FOOC. Noon o'clock news. Moneybox <click>

Shopping trip to Morrisons because EVERYTHING is SHUT tomorrow: the way Sundays used to be. . Done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Freecell score: 95%, running average: 84%. It must have made an easier selection today.

Blaze: Holy something or other with Dennis Quaid: the usual Blazian bollox: Tower of Babel, Sphinx, something else that was so inneresting I fell asleep, St Peters in Vatican City with added bones.

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM.

Look at Life: The Common Market 1962.

Maigret S4 E2 "The Fontenay Murders (1963)". The one where Madam Maigret's milk nearly boils over on the stove leading to some confusion.

The wind is rising. Lots of stuff rattling about in the garden from the sounds of it.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Misty out.
