No telly today due to travelling and that, but this evening's viewing has been the latest episode of Ambulance followed by an old episode of 24 Hours in A&E

Monday tomorrow, of what could be the last week of work for a bit - though knowing my luck, they'll get their cost codes sorted out more quickly than usual and I'll end up having a Monday next week too

Goodnight all

Tea: lamb scouse with a crust of white bread

My sister has been going through our Mum's archives and, amongst other treasures, presented me with my school reports from our last two years in Liverpool, when I was aged 7 to 9

I find it amusing that my teachers' comments tended to be along the lines of "Must start to apply himself in class" and the like, while further down the same page it'll say things like "Exam results: 98%" and "Place in year: 1st of 70"

Home again after an enjoyable ruby wedding celebration

The festivities consisted of Sunday lunch in the pub where we held my Mum's wake. I had the three-meat roast dinner, said meats being pork, chicken, and beef; and very nice it was too

As I was getting home I was thinking how gloomy it was here compared to further south, but now I'm settled, the sun has come out and it's looking a little more Simpsonesque

Morning all

Cloudy and dull. A bit of a breeze. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 20 expected. A bit of sun may poke through later. Barometer up to 1019 mBar.

Today I will be checking varying levels of liquids in my car and the tyre pressures. After that? The possibilities are endless.

Morning.

Sunday.

Damp.

Drizzly.

Grey.

Dark.

Dank.

Cool in here at 17.1 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto.

1010 mBar, 29.825 in Hg, 757.56 Torr, 14.6488 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 76% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 14th of July 2019 NF made a large batch of chips, I went shopping to Tesco & Morrisons, and later on sent an abusive and sweary communication to Aunty BBfeckingC when they stopped showing a programme about the Shuttle on BBC4 so they could show a fecking tennis match. I thought the box had broken.

Lunch: beans on toast & such. Stone me that Hovis wholemeal is heavy, man.

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

Walk (abbreviated) walked in the grey gloom which was unexpectedly dry & unexpectedly warm.

Entertainment: NZ Highway Cops & NZ Motorway Patrol. How unlike our very own wunnerful plod: they actually help people instead of abandoning them a mile & a half from home, shoeless & in a strange mental state, so they get run over & killed.

Tea: soup & such.

Entertainment: JoP JoP.

The River diver archaeology thing on Blaze (no UFOs just civil war bits of lead & such).

NASA's unexplained files: Apollo skylab thruster problem 1973 etc.

The WWWC waffling on about China & such.

Freecell score: 90%, running average: 86%.

Morning denizens

Rather gloomy out and quite breezy too. Currently 16°C heading for 19°, and the barometers are unchanged at 1004/1011mB

Currently pottering around vaguely feeling as if I ought to be getting ready to go, even though there's no need to make a move before eleven at the earliest

[NickFitz]

Lots of wildlife in Africa on the box this afternoon

And the usual endless repeats of Road Wars early evening

And then I rejected further TV in favour of re-reading the early short stories of H.G. Wells

Early night now, as tomorrow I travel in a southerly direction for a ruby wedding lunch gathering

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

Dinner was very nice, we had a laugh and raised a glass. Back home now. Rubbish drive down, decent drive back. All in all a good day.

[NickFitz]

Popped round the shops. First: the chemist, to collect the monthly prescription. Then on to Sainsbury's Local for a couple of bits, as I didn't go shopping this week.

Finally, to the kebab shop; so tea has been kebab and chips

[xoggoth]

Driving to Worcestershire tomorrow for a boring visit to sister. Fortunately got an old work mate and old uni friend nearby/on way.

[NickFitz]

Lunch: the last of the assorted charcuterie in a wholemeal bap, and a bag of plain crisps

[NickFitz]

Today is the first anniversary of my Dad's death. Heading down to Sussex where we're having a family meal this evening.

Morning denizens

Rather Simpsonesque out today, though not that warm at 15°C with a prophesied high of 16°. The barometers are bouncing back at 1004/1011mB

The squirrels have left some more conker husks down on the corner of the lawn. I've noticed from my bedroom window that there's a conker tree at the end of next door's rather long garden. They have a small dog, which seems amiable enough, but is perhaps enough reason for the squirrels to gather chestnuts there and bring them over here for consumption, if that's what's happening

Morning all

Clear sky with occasional lumps of fluff. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer up to 1016 mBar
