An old episode of Traffic Cops was watched earlier, for want of being bothered to find anything else :
And a few more chapters (they're mostly quite short) of Eternity have been read
Getting an early night now, as last night's sleep wasn't as refreshing as it might have been. I blame dreams - not disturbing or unpleasant ones, but ones that were about something that was mildly annoying, as far as I can recall. Just a bit of low-key irritation, which is a stupid thing to dream about really
Goodnight all

Tea has been takeaway leftovers
There's been a couple of drizzly showers but nothing too bad, and it remained quite sunny until sunset. Might be a rainy night though

Lunch has been a salmon bap (white) with a bag of plain crisps
Proper salmon out of a tin, mind, not that fresh stuff

In the post: a letter from the Halifax stating "Your mortgage is closed."
Also in the post: a letter from the Halifax advising me that my mortgage fix ends soon and inviting me to apply for a new deal to avoid going on their standard rate

Bah! You'll be resurrecting my embarassing post about bonking a dead frog next.

Morning.
Monday.
Damp.
Grey.
Dreary.
Wanly (very) sunny (using some imagination).
Chilly in here at 16.1 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 15 deg in the leanto.
992 mBar, 29.29 in Hg, 744.06 Torr, 14.3877 psi, (unchanged), 79% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 19th of November 2019 there was discussion of the chunkiness of stew, whereas on the 20th an ep of BTVS wouldn't play on the play anything dvd player but played ok on the blueray player, whereas no one, other than xogg, had an email from the total tosspot Bunter, the fat owl of the remove.
Shopping trips to Morrisons, Aldi, and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
Lunch: definitely.
Freecell score: 93%, running average: 77%.
Some gardening (Minor) until the rain arrived & I gave up. Mint & brambles mostly.
Tea: beans on toast etc. Living the dream. .
Entertainment: book.
DS9: "Little Green Men" on some channel or other, despite the fact that there's a dvd behind me that has the whole ep rather than the last 15 minutes.
Simon Schama Remembers: some series he made in 1995 which followed the remembering. Amusing enough. He seemed a bit hyper in 1995.
The Oak Island "this week we ain't found tulip" again. The metal detecting moron found some copper thingie. The garden shaft excavation continues with the top bit of concrete in place. More drilling. I continued reading a book during this to avoid the temptation of committing bodily harm out of frustration.
PBS: Forgotten Allies: the Burmans who volunteered to fight the Japanese during WWII.
Slightly different from those heroic Indians who fought the Evil British on the side of the Japanese.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 23:02.

Morning all
Wet walk earlier, then the sky cleared as we came in, and now it's getting overcast again.

Morning denizens
Cloudy out, but with thinner patches that are letting some wan sun shine through, as and when the winds move them to the right place. The wind at ground level seems to have settled down a bit after being quite breezy last night. It's relatively mild at 11°C (feels like 8°) with an expected high of 17° when it gets sunnier this afternoon, though some rain is expected tonight. The barometers are down some more at 984/992mB

After a morning of Monkey Life, there was some US borders and New Zealand policing stuff, though I didn't pay much attention to those
This evening, a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E
And after that, I read a few more chapters of Eternity. I'm about half way through that now, so I might as well see it through
Monday tomorrow. Maybe there'll be some more interesting stuff happening this week than last week
Goodnight all

Tea has been a roast pork dinner. Very nice
It's been raining a bit but had paused, so I popped round the corner to stick some post in the local pillar box. Nice fresh air out there

Long walky. Usual luck with the weather, drizzle so light you could barely feel it. Hmm, drink up the club? Maybe.

Not visiting Mum today.

drizzly here. Got wet on our perambulation and since The WifeTM is away and it's miserable weather, I decided to bill a few hours.

Morning. Stone me, what a night. .
Sunday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny this side: black across the way.
Chilly in here at 16.0 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto.
994.5 mBar, 29.367 in Hg, 745.9 Torr, 14.424 psi, (down from 999 last night), 75% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 19th of November 2019 NF and LM were doing a bedding wash and relating how many sets thereof they possess, whereas I was down the dump again getting shot of garden waste.
No walk today.
Lunch: there was.
Entertainment: more books.
Tea: soup: couldn't be arsed with anything else.
Entertainment: Thing on Sky arts about Helen Mirren .
Thing on Sky Arts about Alec Guinness.
Just remembered about a Rover P4 on ebay that finished this morning: it only made £2650.
