    Morning.

    Tuesday.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Cool in here at 17.1 deg (0.2 deg away from Chilly), 18 deg in the kitchen, 16 deg in the leanto.

    1016 mBar, 30 in Hg, 762.06 Torr, 14.736 psi, (up from 1014 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 8th of October 2019 there was discussion of obscure error messages, F$M011 being one of mine of yore, whereas NF discerned a "1303", both of which are rather more comforting than a "1202" when you're trying to land on the moon, viewing appeared to consist of Dr Pimple Popper for me, and lots of Breaking Bad for NF.

    Morning denizens

    Sunny start for a change, albeit with a fair few high white bits of fluff that may possibly be of the form known as cirrus. They seem mainly decorative rather than portentous. It's 9°C at the moment and only getting to 15°, while the barometers are bouncing back a bit at 1005/1013mB

    Morning all
    Slightly more sociable time to get up today. No dog to walk , although I might go out for a stroll on my own round the hotel grounds.

    No more telly for me tonight, though I watched a bit more video from Apple WWDC, going on about how wonderful all the new APIs are

    The new testing framework looks good, as writing tests with the old one was a bit clunky, it having originated back in the Objective-C days

    Anyway, early night now. I've got to go to the dentist for a checkup tomorrow morning, so I ought to be properly rested to make it slightly more bearable

    Goodnight all

    I was so excited at the prospect of a new 24 Hours in A&E that I watched it live!

    That was after a few episodes of Trauma Room 1.

    Recycling and food waste bins have been trundled.

    Apple's developer conference starts soon

    Not sure if the keynote is still accompanied on Twitter by confused non-developers wondering when they're going to start talking about new iPhones

    Morning.

    Monday apparently.

    Dry.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Cool in here at 17.1 deg, 18 deg in the kitchen, 16 deg in the leanto.

    1009 mBar, 29.796 in Hg, 756.8 Torr, 14.634 psi, (up from 1008 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 8th of October 2019 the missing guinea fowl was found, I went down the dump with green waste, just for fun, like, NF was having fun with Datagrip, whereas I was watching yet more Jeremiah S2 and Joan of Arcadia S1 but still smelling the presence of the kippers from several days earlier.

    Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

    Bought a Colin Watson book "Coffin scarcely used" (very rare to see a Colin Watson book) and as it transpires, I already have it, so off to Oxfam with it before I've even opened it.

    Lunch: scrambled egg (just the one) etc.

    Five lawns mown. Knackered now.

    Entertainment: Veronica Mars S3 E6 "Hi infidelity": the one where Veronica's essay gets lit up like an Xmas tree by turnitin (or fictitious equivalent).

    Tea: cheese & egg sandwich, cheese & ham sandwich, a round of toast, etc.

    Thought I'd get the egg sandwich craving out of the way earlier today.

    Entertainment: PM.

    The last 10 minutes of Morse S1 E1 "The dead of Jericho", so I had to watch the last 4 minutes of Endeavour too.

    Villages by the sea: Devon.

    Abandoned Engineering (new): I wonder if there'll be any engineering in this one. . Radio Caroline. Hotel in Beirut on the Green Line. Some crazy Russian themed theme park in Japan. Opa-Loka in Florida. Glen Curtiss.

    Oh look: there's a Hawkwind track to go with it:



    NCIS S20 E20 "Second Opinion". The reviews are less than golden. .

    No Beyond Skinwalker bollox this week, it ended last week.

    No Gunfighters this week, ditto.

    Some other tosh: Blowing up History on DMAX. Henges, henges, and more henges: Avebury etc. Not stunningly inneresting.

    Morning all

    Windy. Overcast. Damp. There was some rain overnight / early morning. The cloud is set to dissipate as the morning progresses but there's a chance of a shower late afternoon/early evening. Currently 11 degrees ('feels like' 8) with a high of 16 expected. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

    I did not appreciate the the noise of successive bin lorries (or that's what it seemed like) making a load of racket at 5.30 am. It's not even bin day on my road until tomorrow. I shan't miss that when I move. Assuming that's still on as the landlady still hasn't produced a gas safety certificate.
