Cloudy. Some chance of sunshine later. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 19 expected. No rain forecast but I think there was some overnight. Barometer up to 1010 mBar.
HWMBO goes home later today.
Microsoft sent me a 50% off voucher for the D365 ERP exam. I should get one for the CRM exam tomorrow. I found ERP way more interesting than CRM even though I'm much less likely to ever be involved with it. Must finish working on the TOGAF Business Architecture cert this week.
Grey start out and it looks as of there was some more rain overnight. Getting colder too, being 14°C but not getting any higher than 17°. The barometers are bouncing back though, at 998/1006mB
The lurgy has not magically vanished overnight but I did sleep better, with such dreams as there were being of insufficient unpleasantness to either wake me up or be recollected now. Covid test still negative, but throat still sore and nose rather blocked
Cool in here at 18.4 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto, 15.8 in the saltinghouse.
1008 mBar, 29.766223 in Hg, 756.06 Torr, 14.619 psi, (up from 1003 last night), 78% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 10th of November 2019 Brillo bag a century, NF stated that he likes paprika in his bol, and vetran fitted a lavatory and was sufficiently unwell to spend 14 hours in bed from 18:00 to 08:00. Well there's a thing.

Good to see it's started the week well.
Just realised that the dream before waking was probably inspired by The Looking Glass War.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
The annual horse/hiring fair is arriving. I wonder how long it is since horses and hiring were a thing, rather than tat and rides.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine and bracing breeze.

And there was some US borders and Antipodean policing in the afternoon. This evening, a new Saving Lives in Cardiff and then several old 24 Hours in A&Es
Sounds remarkably similar to my last couple of lurgies, though both of which required me to get up & take cough mixture during the night. The weird dreams were disturbing, one particularly so.
I found them very unpleasant, though I can't remember all of them now. I'm going to remember to take some paracetamol before bed tonight, with the vague hope that it makes them less likely to happen again
My bedroom here has a "wardrobe" with sliding mirrored doors taking up one whole end. But within, it's just got a bunch of metal frames with baskets and rails, which are quite rickety and don't really make good use of the space. So I went looking round the IKEA website and found one of their design tool thingies, and have now planned out a bunch of units to go inside that will make much better use of it and generally be nicer
Not going to order them yet though, given I haven't actually checked how I currently use the space. I may need to adjust the number of drawers and so on
Meanwhile, the lurgy continues to not improve, though I don't think it's got any worse
Lunch: cold sausages in a white bap with red sauce
The expected rainy grey continuation of the day appears to have been cancelled, as it stopped raining and rapidly brightened up by mid-morning and is now sunny and Simpsonesque out there
Still cloudy. Damp. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 19 expected. The sun might make an appearance later this afternoon but there's also a chance of a thunderstorm. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.
Last night, well about 2.15 am, there was a big thunderstorm overhead and much rain. Lots of thunder and lightning. I thought it was moving away as the thunder wasn't so close for a while and then a huge crash bang startled me.
Not visiting Mum today but I will give her a call this afternoon.
