    Grey.

    Dark.

    Dreary.

    Dry.

    Sunless.

    Max and I went out early this morning, which hadn't been my plan, but worked out well, as about 15 minutes after getting in, it started to rain.

    Morning denizens

    Rather a grey start out and still a little breezy, though not anything like it has been. It's 5°C but "feels like" -1°, with an expected high of 7°, while the barometers remain high at 1023/1031mB

    I awoke today with a bit of a sore throat and runny nose, plus a slight headache. Covid test has come back negative, so it may just be yet another cold picked up while shopping

    Tonight's reading was a bit more Siegfried Sassoon

    And I placed a Sainsbury's order for delivery on Friday so I don't have to bother going shopping. I don't need much so it's not worth going all the way there, but on Saturday we're having pre-Christmas lunch with the nieces who are going to the other side of their family this year, so I need to get chocolates and stuff like that

    Three more days…

    Goodnight all

    Scotch broth and a bit of wholemeal for lunch - warming, delicious, and nutritious

    Morning.

    Monday.

    Grey.

    Wanly sunny if you use imagination.

    Breezy.

    Cold side of chilly in here at 11.5 deg, 10.5 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 deg in the leanto, 8 deg in the saltinghouse.

    1030.5 mBar, 30.43 in Hg, 772.938 Torr, 14.946 psi, (up from 1027 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

    Cottons in the WM.

    Meanwhile on the 9th of December 2019 it was cold, I was and the washing was in the WM.

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

    New neighbours moving in next door. . There's been no one in there for about 5 years or more.

    I'll have to turn the volume up to 11 to greet them. Hope they like Pink Floyd & Hawkwind.

    Cottons out of the WM & pegged out on the line. The pillow cases look less than savoury.

    Lunch: brunch.

    The afternoon's task is replacing the broken* clear corrugated sheeting stuff with some inferior B&Q crap that's been in the shed for 10 years or more. It should be nicely ripe by now.

    *Broken as in half of it blew away.

    Done: horrid stuff to cut: power saw no good, hand saw not much better: went ok until the final nail, whereupon the sheet cracked. Now bodged with weatherproof tape. Feck it.

    Freecell score: 75%, running average: 80%. Gave up.

    Cottons in off the line, nearly dry, now in TD: those requiring the iRon: done.

    To avoid the bedgoer's angst I remade the bed before doing the work on the garage.

    Tea: chicken in white sauce with rice n peas etc.

    Entertainment: Nazi Hunters: Adolph Eichmann.

    UFO hunters: more bollox: this time: Dugway: The "New" Area 51?

    Canals: the making of a Nation: William Smith: geology.

    Oak Island nutjobbery. Well I didn't see much of that being preoccupied with reading a thread about a video by "Mendit Mark" being taken down from youtube by a "copyright infringement" from Tom Evans Audio Design. Not sure that drawing your own schematic counts as copyright infringement but there you go, that's youtube for you.

    I met a nutter sometime in 1996/7 who was supposedly some sort of audio guru cum pain in the arse who wanted some surface mount pcbs populated. He had all sorts of curious concepts about how to use opamps. And the capacitors he wanted mounted on the pcbs were 0805 when the outline used on the pcb was 1206 so they all tombstoned in the oven.

    Morning all stormy overnight again, but it's settled a bit now to a mild 7C.
    Might have to take an hour or two out of my billable day to re-felt the summerhouse now that I have battens ready to go on top.
