Chilly in here at 15.6 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 11.5 in the leanto, 5.6 in the saltinghouse.

Meanwhile on the 29th of February / 01st of March 2020 Brillo, scruff, and AndyGarbs popped in, a post pub NF had some Maryland Chicken and watched Predator II, LM was awakened at 03:00 by some unidentified electrical hum/buzz, and I found the weather to be unexpectedly clement.
Morning all
CBS, etc. A proper crisp winter's morning. 4C at 6am, with a gentle breeze from the north. A very nice sunrise on the way back in. Shame it's Monday.
It’s the opposite of a few days ago: clear skies most of the way around the horizon while some remaining cloud up above is shuffling off stage, probably southwards as it’s a chilly northern breeze blowing today. As a result, an already low 3°C “feels like” -2°, and the expected high for the day is 8° for just a couple of hours this afternoon. The barometers are soaring though, up to 1010/1018mB
Cloudy out, though a few tiny gaps are showing blue here and there and there’s a chance of sunny spells. No sign of rain, and the wind seems to have eased up more than the weather app is willing to admit, as it claims it’s gusting up to 19mph while the trees all stand there unmoving. It’s getting colder this week though: currently 8°C (“feels like” 4° because of those gusts that don’t seem to be happening) with a high of just 9°, while there are several overnight frosts predicted through the week, and even a chance of snow on Thursday! The barometers are up a little more at 1002/1010mB
Overcast and dull, damp. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 11 expected. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.
Sunrise 07:21; Sunset 16:21 GMT
Our mosey home yesterday was via Borough Market and a Carribbean restaurant for lunch. The tube lines were very busy, probably on account of the Lizzy Line being out of action.
Heading down to visit Mum today. I am mildly stressing about what she may have gotten up to while left alone for a few days. I have packed a variety of foodstuffs to take down.
Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto, 10.7 in the saltinghouse.
1007 mBar, 29.74 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (up from 1005 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 29th of February 2020: see yesterday's comment.
Washing frenzy in progress.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: the dehumidifier droning away along with some drilling on the party wall from next door. Do tenants usually drill on the party wall? Just askin' for a friend, like. . It wasn't a small drill either.
Shirts, though slightly damp, duly iRoned & airing upstairs.
Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey Cage S1 UFOs.
Walk (abbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.
Washing frenzy complete with a small contribution from the TD.
Tea: beans on toast etc. Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey Cage S1 E3 Quantum Physics.
Other other book.
Look at life: London River. Docks docks & more docks: all gone now.
Sergeant Cork. The cases of Ella Barnes (1963). Sweated labour, but it's all ok they weren't actual slaves, like.
Morning all
Overcast but breezy out - not that we’ve been further than the garden yet. Plan for the day is to walk the dogs, edit photos, get dinner ready and wait for my wife to return from her jaunt. Side tasks may include a bit of gardening.
The usual, though much diminished, wildlife offering today was supplemented by the first episode of Kingdom on iPlayer. It’s very good; I found it rather amusing that I already knew the leopard from another wildlife programme, and also the matriarch of the African wild dogs, which have previously had their own series
