I was woken around 5 am by animals 'doing it like they do on the Discovery channel' in the garage car park that my bedroom wall is next to.

When the alarm went off, I was very sleepy but awake enough to think, "I have an early meeting", and got up sharpish. I do have an early meeting. Tomorrow. Much coffee now being imbibed.

Yesterday I watched several episodes of Bookish (on alibi, I refuse to use the U& prefix). I like it, very entertaining. I hope there's a second series. Only six episodes, two left for this evening.
EDIT: scripts have been written, a read-through has been done, filming should be sometime next year

These delivery guys are a lot faster than last week's! Looks like they could be here within the hour

Shame that will clash with my first standup with my new team since July

^^^ OM.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Damp.

Grey.

Dreary.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 21.2 deg, 22 in the kitchen, 20.5 in the leanto.

1000.5 mBar, 29.54 in Hg, 750.44 Torr, 14.51 psi, (down from 1003 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 11th of February 2020 wattaj, BR14, scruff, DaveB, and LondonManc popped in, WTFH had a decent night's sleep in Memphis with only two more to go, and NF avoided the visit of the then Heir Apparent & his Mrs to that Leicester by putting off the shopping until the morrow, whilst I mentioned that I'd avoided the then Heir Presumptive & his Mrs's visit to that Swansea a few weeks earlier. . NF also mentioned that his mum used to work on the early flu vaccine investigations, thus regularly getting differing varieties of flu all the way through the year.

It's a grey day out with some drizzle, though that's supposed to stop soon. Getting cooler too: currently 17°C but peaking at 23°, heading towards highs of a mere 18° by the end of the week. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB

The washer-dryer is currently in north-east Birmingham but they seem to be making good time and are now predicted to arrive a little earlier than planned, possibly around 10:10

Morning all
I'd like to say that we had rain overnight, but it would be better to say that there was a bit of dampness that might keep the dust down for an hour or two.

[NickFitz]

In The Rewind Files, it's starting to look like all the bad things happening are the result of capitalism

Back to work tomorrow. Woe, woe, and thrice woe!

And the washer-dryer is supposed to be arriving between 10:30 and 12:30 so probably in the middle of the afternoon, assuming it gets here at all

Goodnight all

Just read that The Milk Snatching Bitch skipped the memorial service so she could spend some time with a Tory donor.

Doesn't surprise me

Tea has been leftover curry

And to watch, part two of the Piper Alpha thing, in which things went from bad to worse and then Thatcher and Cecil Parkinson showed up

A fine pair of *****.

More than enough to make the curry reappear, I'd have thunk.

There's a Red Lion, opposite Ealing studios? https://www.theredlionw5.com/

I was mooching around Northfields though as I'm now West Ealing based rather than one of the other flavours.

ah, Red, not White. funny, i thought it was white, but it IS 40+ years since i had a double bedsit near Ealing Common

a fullers pub? high speed bitter?

Sunny day out and heading into heatwave territory: already 22°C and predicted to reach 27° this afternoon, though only for an hour or so. But the barometers are already heading downwards at 1004/1012mB, presaging cooler and rainier weather for the rest of the week

Gordon Bennet! Topped up my PAYG phone last week and then had to do it again yesterday. Turned out I hadn't ended the call to loony lady's phone on Saturday. (I shall blame her as she didn't either)

Anyway, ghastly ll2 later.

Billing today. I have a document that I've been procrastinating about for a good 6 weeks so I've set myself the task of getting the first draft done today.

Laundry in the WM.
