I've got no idea what's going on with this forum now. Pages simply won't load in Safari; they just get stuck on the request. But in Chrome, it's fine - much faster than usual, if anything
chrome was 405 for me most of saturday (or was it friday?), then it worked again.

That’s odd - for some reason, my laptop had switched to the 4G backup wi-fi. Switched back to the proper one and it’s fine

Overcast. Damp. Misty type rain that gets you properly wet. Currently 19 degrees ('feels like' 24, I disagree) with a high of 21 expected. No idea if the rain will continue as the weather app doesn't know it's currently happening. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

Jack Hargreaves Old Country: mobile sheep dip using cooper flydip bhc, which, it turns out, is Lindane, now banned. "Turnouts" as in horse & carriage/pony & trap etc. Battlesden Carts (of which he has two). The reason why The Brougham carriage was always black: if it wasn't black it wasn't allowed into Buck House following the demise of Albert, everything being black for the next 40 years or so.

Maigret (Cremer) and the old lady. The one with the dead maid.
It’s a sunny start with a scattering of clouds, and last night’s wind has dropped, though there’s still a breeze. It’s getting cooler: currently 15°C but the day’s high will only be 20°, and it’ll mostly stay below that for the rest of the week. It’s likely to rain tonight, too. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1010mB
Tonight in Pixie, her artistic career is looking up after several years of struggle, with an exhibition of her “music paintings” (she had synæsthesia so would listen to music and draw the visions it evoked) selling well at Stieglitz’s gallery in New York
Very windy out there tonight. Are the equinoctial gales coming early this year?
Monday again tomorrow. At least I’ve got some vaguely interesting stuff to muck around with
Sunny. Blue sky with cloud that looks like pebbles. Currently 21 degrees ('feels like' 24) and that's the high for the day. Barometer at 1022 mBar.

Rubbish sleep. Woke around 3 am and dozed off and on for several hours. This morning the local fun run went past and enthusiastic people were cheering the runners along.
In helping Mum find a comb, I found a pot of yoghurt in her dressing table drawer. No idea how long that had been there so into the bin it went.
