    Morning denizens

    It’s extremely grey and very rainy here today, as was foretold by the Met Office, and expected to continue so through the day and even through the night. Bit less mild, too: 10°C now apparently “feels like” 0°, and we’ve already had our high for the day of 11° so it’ll be 9° soon! The barometers are sticking around the same 993/1000mB region they’ve been at for most of the week

    Off to do the shopping soon, despite the inclement conditions

    Morning.

    Friday.

    Wet.

    Dark.

    Dank.

    Dreary.

    Windy.

    Grey.

    Sunless.

    Chilly in here at 17.4 deg, 17 in the kitchen, 14.5 in the leanto.

    994 mBar, 29.35 in Hg, 745.6 Torr, 14.42 psi, (down from 997 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020 LM, Brillo, and BR14 popped in and there was much concern about NF's lack of A Visit to the Chinese. . Mere anarchy loosed upon the world. .

    Warm out and a bit wet. No sign of Claudia, perhaps we are on her fringe down here.

    TFIF, etc.

    Tonight’s viewing was the rest of an episode of Police Interceptors I started watching a few days ago

    And in Elvissey, things are getting as strange as one would expect

    The mundane laundry came to a successful conclusion, so that’s one less thing to do tomorrow

    Goodnight all

    Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

    I’ve just put the mundane laundry on, as the new washer-dryer should have that done by the time I want to get to sleep - probably well before

    Another week done! Sixteen more days to go

    Despite the warnings of rain tomorrow, I’ve decided to put the shopping off until then. I need to go to Big Sainsbury’s so I can get Viz, and the drive over there is more tolerable on a Friday morning

    Lunch: Heinz tomato soup and white toast

    It’s becoming rather Simpsonesque out now, in contradiction of the gloomy prognostications of the weather app

    I see, however, that we have an Amber weather warning for rain tomorrow, it being expected to arrive overnight and continue forever

    Morning all

    Earlier it was all blue sky and wispy fluff. Now the lumpier fluff has encroached but there's still plenty of sky to be seen when it moves out the way. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. My weather app is displaying a 'moderate rainfall warning'. The clouds will come and go as the day progresses, but looking likely to be fully clouded over by early evening. Barometer up to 1007 mBar.

    Sunrise 07:16; Sunset 16:14 GMT

    Another day of meetings and such today. Although one is going to be bumped to next week, which is a relief.

    Dinner yesterday was toad in the hole! Yum. Made with the sausages I picked up at Saturday's farmers' market. They were very nice. Good flavour and texture. Not sure putting 5 in a pack is forgivable though.

    Morning.

    Thursday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Bet that doesn't last long.

    Chilly in here at 17.5 deg, 17 in the kitchen, 15 in the leanto.

    1000 mBar, 29.53 in Hg, 750 Torr, 14.5 psi, (up from 995 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, BR14 popped in, LM watched Timewatch and had garlic prawns, whilst NF went to the pub & didn't go to the Chinese, who were, presumably, devastated by this.

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

    Enlivened by the Calor Gas Emergency Drill Exercise. Didn't know so many people worked there, hundreds.

    Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y scam watch <click>.

    Chopped a lump out of my hand dusting. .

    More welding practice. Stone me, I'm sure I used to be able to do this stuff. Now: not so much. Box of crappy Lidl(tm) rods used up.

    Ground back the welds on the gate. .

    Tea: beans on toast (full fat full sugar not that other crap).

    Entertainment: PM.

    The Nazi programme: Pearl Harbour Thing about some tramroads in Cornwall with Julia Bradbury.

    Classic Movies: The Railway Children (1970).

    Once Upon a Time in Space. The ISS. Beam me up FFS I've had enough. How the septics got rid of MIR. Not nearly as inneresting as last week's ep, nor as much fun. Rather sad.

    13C out on our walk, no rain but overcast. No chance of seeing the aurora.

    There’s cloud of various kinds very low on the horizon in all directions, but above that the sky is clear and blue. The forecast thinks it’ll get cloudier though, so it’s a race between the sun trying to get high enough to shine down upon us and the cloud trying to conceal it. It’s a mild 12°C, though it “feels like” 7°, and expected to get to 14° which seems to be standard at the moment; the barometers are about the same at 993/1001mB

    Most importantly: it’s Thursday!

    Even better, a relatively meeting-free day; and I have a reasonably interesting problem to work on, to do with some five-year-old code that many parts of the app depend on but which needs adjusting for our present requirements, without breaking anything else. Always fun finding a way to sneak in and change how things work without the existing code realising you’re there
