It’s cleared up some more here, so it’s sunny even though I’ve just finished work! I’d shut the blinds in the study a couple of hours ago when the sun started dazzling me, so I was quite surprised to walk into the living room and see bright sunlight on the trees out there, rather than a gloomy dark evening

Old arty farty thing this morning, took along what art magazines I could rescue from the damp after me neighbour left them for me in the wrong place. Walky afterwards, what a lovely sunny and quite warm afternoon! Stopped in at little cafe with nice view and had a a chat with a nice youngish lady.

Morning all
There was some blue sky peeking through the cloud about 10 mins ago, but that's gone now. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) with a high of 13 expected. Some showers forecast, the sun might reappear this afternoon. Barometer up to 1018 mBar.

Yesterday evening I received notification that our tickets to see QI being filmed at BBC Studios, Wood Lane, had been cancelled. Apparently the size of the audience had been cut and they decided those who had applied last were the ones to lose out. As I'd planned to have tomorrow off, I see no point in working it.

Morning.
Tuesday.
Damp.
Wanly sunny.
Grey.
Chilly in here at 13.8 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen (thermometer is dying), 12 deg in the leanto, 12 deg in the saltinghouse.
1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 69% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 18th of March 2020 Brillo, quackhandle, WTFH, LM, and I popped in.
Washing frenzy in progress.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the 11:45 thing: which led inevitably to:

. Hell of a way to win a raffle.
.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath, leather jacket) walked in the bright sunshine & unseasonably warm weather. Actually raised a sweat.
.
Washing dried on the line: that requiring the iRon received it, all airing upstairs now.
Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: PM until some septic MAGA toerag started praising the energy of the Orange Mother****er: the only reason he doesn't sleep at night is because he's demented & becoming more so every day. However the
looks after his own so no doubt he'll stick around like tulipe to a blanket until WWIII starts looking like a blessed relief.

Misty earlier, but by about 6:20 that was burning off and the dawn chorus was under way. Neither Max nor I needed a torch on. 10C, feels like 9, no wind apart from the cabbage from last night's dinner.

Morning denizens
It’s fairly cloudy out, with said cloud being lower and thicker than yesterday, though still layered somewhat if you look over to the horizon; there are areas of blue sky between the clumps moving overhead at a steady pace, implying there’s still a bit of a breeze. The current 10°C “feels like” 5° and the expected high is 13°, while the barometers are back up a touch at 1003/1011mB

Tea has been lamb rogan josh and pilau rice, courtesy of Saturday’s takeaway. There’s one onion bhaji left, and then it’ll finally be finished
This was accompanied by part 2 of the Three Mile Island thing on Netflix. Lot of nuclear power problems on the box at the moment

You need to worry when it says "Come with me if you want to live" or "Hasta la vista, baby".Originally posted by WTFH View PostYesterday I learned that I can ask my car for gardening tips, and that when I say "thank you" a minute or so later, it wishes me good luck in growing the plants in question.
.
My Rover 90 P4 never did any of that: then again the only active devices were the radio valves in the HMV (Radiomobile) Wireless.

Lunch continues to be leftovers from the generous portions of Saturday's Indian takeaway: a couple of pieces of chicken tikka, and another onion bhaji
