    CBS, etc. A proper crisp winter's morning. 4C at 6am, with a gentle breeze from the north. A very nice sunrise on the way back in. Shame it's Monday.

    It’s the opposite of a few days ago: clear skies most of the way around the horizon while some remaining cloud up above is shuffling off stage, probably southwards as it’s a chilly northern breeze blowing today. As a result, an already low 3°C “feels like” -2°, and the expected high for the day is 8° for just a couple of hours this afternoon. The barometers are soaring though, up to 1010/1018mB

    Further viewing this evening was the latest episode of Ambulance

    And then I read some more of Elvissey

    Monday again tomorrow. Only four more weeks of work to go this year, though!

    Goodnight all

    Cloudy out, though a few tiny gaps are showing blue here and there and there’s a chance of sunny spells. No sign of rain, and the wind seems to have eased up more than the weather app is willing to admit, as it claims it’s gusting up to 19mph while the trees all stand there unmoving. It’s getting colder this week though: currently 8°C (“feels like” 4° because of those gusts that don’t seem to be happening) with a high of just 9°, while there are several overnight frosts predicted through the week, and even a chance of snow on Thursday! The barometers are up a little more at 1002/1010mB

    Morning all

    Overcast and dull, damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:21; Sunset 16:21 GMT

    Our mosey home yesterday was via Borough Market and a Carribbean restaurant for lunch. The tube lines were very busy, probably on account of the Lizzy Line being out of action.

    Heading down to visit Mum today. I am mildly stressing about what she may have gotten up to while left alone for a few days. I have packed a variety of foodstuffs to take down.

    Morning.

    Sunday.

    Grey.

    Dry.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto, 10.7 in the saltinghouse.

    1007 mBar, 29.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1005 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020: see yesterday's comment.

    Washing frenzy in progress.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the dehumidifier droning away along with some drilling on the party wall from next door. Do tenants usually drill on the party wall? Just askin' for a friend, like. . It wasn't a small drill either.

    Shirts, though slightly damp, duly iRoned & airing upstairs.

    Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey Cage S1 UFOs.

    Walk (abbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.

    Washing frenzy complete with a small contribution from the TD.

    Tea: beans on toast etc. Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey Cage S1 E3 Quantum Physics.

    Other other book.

    Look at life: London River. Docks docks & more docks: all gone now.

    Sergeant Cork. The cases of Ella Barnes (1963). Sweated labour, but it's all ok they weren't actual slaves, like.

    Overcast but breezy out - not that we’ve been further than the garden yet. Plan for the day is to walk the dogs, edit photos, get dinner ready and wait for my wife to return from her jaunt. Side tasks may include a bit of gardening.

    The usual, though much diminished, wildlife offering today was supplemented by the first episode of Kingdom on iPlayer. It’s very good; I found it rather amusing that I already knew the leopard from another wildlife programme, and also the matriarch of the African wild dogs, which have previously had their own series

    Later, I read some more of Elvissey

    Goodnight all

    Felt like a burger for tea tonight, which was duly brought to me from Five Guys

    Rain’s back, though not to anything like the same degree

    It’s a grey day but the rain and wind have subsided, leaving the area looking very damp. It’s 11°C (“feels like” 7°) which is as high as it’s going to get.The barometers are finally up a bit though, at 998/1006mB

    Morning.

    Saturday.

    Slept until 09:20. .

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15 in the leanto.

    1003 mBar, 29.62 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.547 psi, (up from 997 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020 Brillo, BR14, and eek popped in, whereas LM said she couldn't get a dead body in the boot of her car.


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

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: bit of Moneybox, bit of the comedy thing.

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine.

    Tea: soup etc. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: PM <mostly about the lying Moronic Orange Clown: click>.

    Stone me: one of the FB "abandoned houses" was obviously owned by a geek: Hitachi databooks, Crash Barrier Metai Cross Assembler instruction manual, oscilloscope, powersupply, test meter, and a couple of electronic breadboards. First time I've seen any such items abandoned. It's in that Scotland so too far away to go & look.


    Maigret "The Liars (1961)". The one where the post mistress gets shot.

    WWII in Colour: The Pacific War 1943.

    History's Mysteries. Jack the Ripper.

    Dear old Adolph's DNA on 4+1. I wonder if they've ever tested The Orange Moron's DNA: his upbringing seems to parallel Adolph's.

    Arctic Coldwar thing on Alba. Showed the inside of the Greenland base in the ice. And covered some of the Swedish proposed nukes. And, of course, the Tsar Bomb and the fallout therefrom. Tis no wonder our Boomer bones glow gently in the dark.
