But that's only 1%, and I now realise that it would be better to pay it all off straight away as I'll save a few hundred quid compared to continuing to pay the interest for the next three months

    Might buy a bottle of champagne with some of the savings

    Lunch: Dutch smoked sausage in a white bap

    Looks like it might be starting to clear up a little out there after a grey morning. No sun yet, but a patch of blue here and there - and just as I type that, the sun comes out!

    Morning all

    Bright and sunny with lumps of fluff scurrying past. Not so windy at ground level though. Currently 19 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Barometer down to 1025 mBar.

    The bed has been stripped to air and the first load of linen is in the WM.

    I don't think I've got the gig I was interviewing for yesterday. I asked a good question at the end and completely failed to capitalise on the response.

    Morning denizens

    Cloudy start and maybe even slightly foggy, judging by the slightly blurry appearance of the tops of certain large trees a little distance away. Currently 13°C, though apparently it "feels like" 10° (that figure now receives greater prominence in the updated iPhone Weather app) with an expected high of 21°. The barometers are back down a little but still relatively high at 1019/1027mB

    Wednesday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky.

    Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 16 deg in the leanto.

    1024 mBar, 30.238 in Hg, 768.1 Torr, 14.85 psi, (unchanged but a tad), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 14th of November 2019 it was raining on everyone, NF could smell downstairs back's soup which made him hungry, I was irritated by the assorted irritating denizens of the library computer room, daveB's dog didn't want to go out in the rain whereas his minions were tidying the garden making us wonder how his apple, pear, & plum trees went subsequently, and opm had a WFH day thus avoiding driving in the dark.

    Tea has been some of the Turkish chicken thing

    Definitely lacking something in this compared to the first time I made it, but still nice enough

    This was accompanied by E2 of C4's The Body Detectives about an unidentified man found dead on a side road in Chelsea in February 1994. They identified him and found out his story, which was all very sad

    And earlier, a mattress topper and pillow protectors went through the wash and were successfully dried
