    Morning denizens

    Grey day out, very windy, and rain not just likely but 100% guaranteed in a little while. It's a bit cooler too: currently 10°C ("feels like" -1° ) and aiming for 12°. The barometers are down more at 983/991mB

    Morning.

    Saturday.

    Grey in parts, blue in others.

    Wanly sunny.

    Dry.

    Windy, very.

    Cool in here at 18.1 deg, 17.5 in the kitchen, 16 in the leanto.

    998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.56 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (up from 993 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 BR14 popped in, along with eek, WTFH was listening to the guineas, and LM's attempted skive off was ruined by a crash on the M4 link that led to gridlock, whilst there were blue skies for some, for others it was snowing, with a bit of flooding thrown in for good measure.

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

    Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the semigale: dry for 95%, then a squall passed over & I was rained on.

    Freecell score: 0%: powercut.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The News Quiz.

    Am Dro: the ep I forgot about on Tuesday.

    Flu jab to ensure that this is Yet Another Lost Weekend.

    Tea:

    Maigret (assuming there's power).

It also works if I put v143 into troubleshooting mode, which made me think it was a plug in that doesn't work properly with v143. However, turning off each plug in, in turn, didn't reveal the culprit.

    It also doesn't work in the current Android version. Not that I played it on my phone as the screen is way too small

    I tried reverting back to v142 but the hassle of then setting up a new profile to work the way I like it got too tedious.

    A bunch of crash reports have been submitted, as well as a load of broken website reports. Now I'm going to bed.
    Excellent work though! Such reports are invaluable

    Tonight's major motion picture premiere here was Wrath of Man (2021) in which Jason Statham seeks revenge, as he so often does. It also follows the standard pattern of having a brief bit of dialogue about him having an English accent near the start; I assume it's easier to write that in than it is to train him to speak in an American accent. Anyway, it's good, but sombre throughout; nary a moment of light relief in this one

    And then a rewatch of Dumb Money (2023). We should come together to screw over the capitalist system more often

    Goodnight all

    I have the living room light set to turn on fifteen minutes before sunset, but it could have done with being a bit earlier today

    Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

    To go along with this, a bit of the motorway cops thing

    The washer-dryer reckoned it had finished, but a bit of actual steam came out when I opened it and stuff still seemed a bit damp, so I set it going again. I picked some kind of quick dry programme and it's adjusted the expected time down by about half within a couple of minutes of starting, so it should all be done soon

    On the paracetamol now

    Meanwhile, the dishwasher has done its magic, and now the mundane laundry is on

    Somewhat heavier rain has arrived too

    Bacon bap for lunch

    I may have been overoptimistic about the side effects. My head feels like there may be a headache in the offing, and I'm feeling a bit tired

    Cheers! I haven't suffered any side effects yet, or at least none that are distinguishable from the usual agonies of existence

    Shopping done!

    As expected, I didn't need much. It's just a shame this no longer means I didn't spend much

    The rain turns out to just be occasional spells of drizzle, and it doesn't seem particularly windy now

    Morning all

    Dull. Overcast. Damp. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Chance of light showers for the rest of the day. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:05; Sunset 18:34 BST

    I have no idea what today will bring. It's all a great unknown at this moment.

    Morning.

    Friday.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Drizzly.

    Misty: can't see the other side of the valley by there boyo.

    Wetly wet.

    Warmish side of chilly in here at 18.6 deg, 18.5 in the kitchen, 17.5 in the leanto.

    1003.5 mBar, 29.63333 in Hg, 752.6868 Torr, 14.55454 psi, (down from 1007 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 Churchill popped in, along with BR14 (celebrating his half MillenniOM) and Brillo, NF remarked on the chill since the rain had stopped, and WTFH popped in too.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the thing about antibiotics. Noon o'clock news. The argument programme: feckit <click>.

    Can see across the valley now, boyo, looks wet over by there. About as wet as it is over by here. .

    Bored. Now. No walk today since I'm not going out in this.

    Nothing on the box.

    Looking at abandoned houses on FB instead. And even that has palled.

    Freecell score in the endless drizzle: 90%, running average: 84%.

    Just watched a vid about Trump's dementia: we're doomed.

    Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & such.

    Entertainment: More or Less (again: maybe I'll remember some of it this time). 17 o'clock news. PM.

    News Quiz.

    Coast & Country on ITVW. Portmeirion featured again. I think that MiniMoke was electric. Plus some castle up north: Castell Y Bere. In the middle of nowhere.

    Foyle's War: Elise. I like that one.
