Here's one I wrote earlier on yesterday's post:
Morning.
Sunday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
NotSoChilly in here at 14 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.
1012 mBar, 29.88 in Hg, 759. Torr, 14.6778 psi, (down from 1013 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine. Nice enough.
Lunch: brunch. "Entertainment": profile of Bacon Sandwich Eating Man. FFS.
Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 I wasn't dead yet, BR14 popped in a lot on his way to going stir crazy, LM bid adieu to HWMBO who departed for Scotland, and scruff popped in.

Morning denizens
Had a bit of a sleep-in this morning and feel well rested, for which much thanks
There’s a very high, thin cloud covering over the eastern part of the sky, tending towards mackerel sky in the west, so it’s bright enough but not truly sunny. It’s 9°C and aiming for 13°, with the barometers much the same at 1004/1013mB

Sunny with lumps of fluff. Currently 7 degrees with a high of 13 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.
Sunrise 06:00; Sunset 18:18 GMT
Aching a little after yesterday's minor exertions. Having a cuppa before I drive down to Mum's.

Monkey Life and other animal magic constituted the majority of today’s viewing
And tonight, I read some more of The Dark Forest
Goodnight all

Tea tonight was brought to me from the south Indian place past the park. Very nice, as usual

After that flurry of activity, I have spent the afternoon recovering by watching new episodes of Ambulance, Last One Laughing, and Mock The Week.

I found a bit of gumption and did some tidying up in my little garden. Cleared away the leaves and cut back the ivy that's coming over from the garden behind mine.
I need to borrow my brother's pressure washer at some point and give the patio a good clean up.

It’s sunny out, with a few wisps of cloud here and there. Mild too, being 12°C and shortly to be 13°. The barometers continue to descend, being at 1007/1015mB

Sunrise 06:02; Sunset 18:16 GMT
Having a coffee and then I'm going for a mooch around the farmers' market. HWMBO arrives on Tuesday so I will be sending him photos of what's available and he can decide what he wants to cook next week.

One of our ex Esteemed Customer electronics students worked in F1 before going off to Australia. He was the one who was doing an OU degree at the same time he was doing ours. We didn't have many as enthusiastic as that.

Morning.
Saturday. Thankfully slept through to a reasonable time of waking.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue white sky.
NotSoChilly in here at 14.2 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 11 in the leanto.
1015 mBar, 29.973 in Hg, 761.3 Torr, 14.72 psi, (unchanged), 63% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 21st of March 2020 NF went to the Chinese, which wasn't shut despite the unlit sign, had a nice chat with "Janet", LM wasn't travelling to Scotland with HWMBO, scruff popped in & the Orange Moron was railing on the news (probably about bleach or maybe clouds), whilst on the 22nd of March 2020 AndyGarbs & WTFH popped in.
Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the hideous heat of the morning.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: noon o'clock news. Moneybox waffling on about heating oil.
Book.
The scaffolding next door but one has departed noisily.
Freecell score: 89%, running average: 84%.
Tea: soup etc. Entertainment: PM.
Maigret S3 E13 "The Amateurs". EOS3. the one with the white cat.
Twilight Zone S5 E9 "Probe 7 over & out". Adam & Eve.
S5 E10: "The 7th is made of phantoms": taking a tank back to Custer. Sounds believable.
BBC Scotland: John Logie Baird: the man who saw the future and invented television. 2003.
5: The forgotten prince: the mystery of George, Duke of Kent. Well they've run out of stuff about Edward VIII.

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Superman (2025) which was pretty good, I thought; if you’re going to do a new Superman film, it should probably be done this way
And then a rewatch of F1 (2025) which is an entertaining film as it goes. I once got a call from an agent about working with the Torro Rosso F1 team, but I’d just accepted another gig so nothing came of it
Goodnight all
