I ventured outside earlier, as there were some forms that the estate agent needed signing by the executors, who are my brother and I. He's been away this weekend so we got them to send them to me first, and I did my bit and have now posted them on to him. Once they arrive, he can do his bit and send them back to them.
It's a shame there isn't some kind of digital communications infrastructure that would allow these things to be done without the trouble and expense of having sheets of paper shuttled around the country over the course of several days. Oh well, we can but dream
The wind got up about 4am and seems to have gotten stronger since then. Weather app says wind speeds are about 76 km/h. It's also raining very heavily. Apparently a thunderstorm is happening but I haven't seen evidence of that. Currently 27 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 29 expected. Rain set to continue until about 6pm.
Cool in here at 19.3 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 18.5 in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 15th of October 2019 WTFH had his head signed off , whereas NF was doing a towel wash and making some bol, and I'd finished S1 of BTVS (it's a short season) and had progressed to S2 E1, plus an ep of Joan of Arcadia, followed by Dr PimplePopper popping that giant cyst above a chap's knee.
Shopping trips to Morrisons and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put way. The need for health food was satisfied by the purchase of some Tesco(tm) jam tarts. Yum.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc. plus a few Health Food Tesco(tm) jam tarts. I feel better already.
Entertainment: Veronica Mars S2 E5.
Tea: chilli con carne etc. Meh.
Entertainment: Abandoned Engineering: Olivetti town in Italy, some Roman thing in Tunisia, prison in Poland run by Stalin & his mates, something else.
Quantum Leap: back it comes for no readily apparent reason sans Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, the later mostly because he died the year before. It's currently on and muted.
Fairly sunny start with some patchy cloud, though it seems that'll get less patchy as the morning goes on. Cooler again, being 13°C and not getting any higher than 17°. The barometers are up though, at 1005/1013mB
There was US border stuff on this afternoon, but I didn't pay much attention as I was mucking around with some Python and Django stuff for showing a timeline of when the election results are likely to be announced in each constituency. Not much point to it really, but it's a vaguely interesting exercise
Monday again tomorrow, but at least it's a four-day week as I've booked Friday off - I'll be up late cackling vindictively at what promises to be a bumper crop of Portillo moments
