Morning all

Wet. Cloudy. Quite bright though. There has been much rain but none currently occurring, although more is on the way later. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 995 mBar.

Prepping for a job interview tomorrow afternoon. I have to prepare, and deliver, a 10 minute presentation. It doesn't help that I know well the people interviewing me.

More meteors tonight. Fat chance I'll be able to see it. Never can.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Wet, very wet.

Chilly in here at 17 deg, 17.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto.

986 mBar, 29.11 in Hg, 739.56 Torr, 14.3 psi, (down from 987 last night), 75% RH (Lid electric, and dropping due to the dehumidifier that I use as a room heater).

Meanwhile on the 20th of November 2019 WTFH had purchased 60 litres of oil, olive as it happens, rather than heating or GTX or Texaco Havoline as recommended by James Hunt.

Darn it. Karaoke not on this evening, nice lady member passed away. She had a brilliant voice. Too many relatives and people I know gone in last year. Don't get old.

[eek]

Desperately sorting out some minor errands.

Then a short chat at 9:30 that will hopefully lead to some work and after that a couple of more errands before an exciting drive to Manchester Airport as I need to drop the bags off before 9pm to make tomorrow morning's early start bearable.

After which it's 10 days in Turkey.

Very wet overnight, but it stayed dry for a quick stroll earlier. 2 minutes after getting back home the heavens opened

Morning denizens

It was promising to be a sunny start but the sun was beaten to the punch by a big, blank expanse of cloud moving in from the south. Mild again, being already 11°C with a high of 16° later, though the cloud is expected to bring spells of light rain throughout the day. The barometers are down a little more at 981/988mB

An old episode of Traffic Cops was watched earlier, for want of being bothered to find anything else :

And a few more chapters (they're mostly quite short) of Eternity have been read

Getting an early night now, as last night's sleep wasn't as refreshing as it might have been. I blame dreams - not disturbing or unpleasant ones, but ones that were about something that was mildly annoying, as far as I can recall. Just a bit of low-key irritation, which is a stupid thing to dream about really

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been takeaway leftovers

There's been a couple of drizzly showers but nothing too bad, and it remained quite sunny until sunset. Might be a rainy night though

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a salmon bap (white) with a bag of plain crisps

Proper salmon out of a tin, mind, not that fresh stuff

Links are up

In the post: a letter from the Halifax stating "Your mortgage is closed."

Also in the post: a letter from the Halifax advising me that my mortgage fix ends soon and inviting me to apply for a new deal to avoid going on their standard rate

[xoggoth]

Bah! You'll be resurrecting my embarassing post about bonking a dead frog next.

Morning.

Monday.

Damp.

Grey.

Dreary.

Wanly (very) sunny (using some imagination).

Chilly in here at 16.1 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 15 deg in the leanto.

992 mBar, 29.29 in Hg, 744.06 Torr, 14.3877 psi, (unchanged), 79% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 19th of November 2019 there was discussion of the chunkiness of stew, whereas on the 20th an ep of BTVS wouldn't play on the play anything dvd player but played ok on the blueray player, whereas no one, other than xogg, had an email from the total tosspot Bunter, the fat owl of the remove.

Shopping trips to Morrisons, Aldi, and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Lunch: definitely.

Freecell score: 93%, running average: 77%.

Some gardening (Minor) until the rain arrived & I gave up. Mint & brambles mostly.

Tea: beans on toast etc. Living the dream. .

Entertainment: book.

DS9: "Little Green Men" on some channel or other, despite the fact that there's a dvd behind me that has the whole ep rather than the last 15 minutes.

Simon Schama Remembers: some series he made in 1995 which followed the remembering. Amusing enough. He seemed a bit hyper in 1995.

The Oak Island "this week we ain't found tulip" again. The metal detecting moron found some copper thingie. The garden shaft excavation continues with the top bit of concrete in place. More drilling. I continued reading a book during this to avoid the temptation of committing bodily harm out of frustration.

PBS: Forgotten Allies: the Burmans who volunteered to fight the Japanese during WWII.

Slightly different from those heroic Indians who fought the Evil British on the side of the Japanese.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Wet walk earlier, then the sky cleared as we came in, and now it's getting overcast again.
