Morning all
05:30 walk this morning and it was almost too cold to be out in just a t-shirt, although by the time we got back it had warmed up.
CBS, etc
Swelling in my hand has gone down a little.
The builders have put the second coat of paint on almost half the house. Plan is to be finished tomorrow.

In addition to the fly I can't kill, there's now a moth that won't listen to instructions to fly out of the open back door. It'll be dead soon if it doesn't fecking listen.

It’s another slightly cloudy start that’ll rapidly clear up, with sunny skies expected all morning and the cloud building back up again this afternoon. It’s 14°C and aiming for 24°, with the barometers up a little more to 1016/1024mB
I suspect the hay fever is going to continue to be annoying; I think I’ll leave the windows shut for now

There was yet more watery wildlife earlier
And this evening, a further episode of 24 Hours in A&E
Tonight, I read more of One Two Three Four. No mention of George Harrison going to visit my Auntie Josie and family in the middle of the night in Auckland during their 1964 world tour, but I’m not sure that story has ever made it out of the family to the Beatles biographers
Monday again tomorrow. But I haven’t got a huge amount to do, and I’m off for ten days from Thursday
Goodnight all

Lunch earlier was a sliced chicken and stuffing bap (white), and tea has been takeaway leftovers
I seem to be getting attacked by pollen again. I’ve gone round and shut all the windows, in a vague and probably fruitless attempt to stop it getting in

Cloudy with gaps again, and there’s a light breeze to get the air circulating a bit. It’s 17°C now but the cloud will clear more this afternoon, letting it get to 22°. The barometers are up to 1014/1021mB

Morning all
Blue sky with occasional lumps of fluff. A breeze wafts every now and then. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 23 expected. Barometer up to 1025 mBar.
Sunrise 05:07; Sunset 21:08 BST
I was awoken at 6am by something scurrying around outside. I suspect it was in the garage's junk yard they have out back rather than my little patch of garden. I then dozed for a while and woke again at 8am. I considered this still too early and finally got up at 9am.
I'm all set for the drive down to Mum's; just having a coffee first. Next week I'll be staying with her while my brother has a well earned holiday.

Morning.
Sunday.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Blue sky in parts with a lot of cloud.
23.5 deg in here, 25.2 in the kitchen, 23 in the leanto, 20 out the back.
1016.5 mBar, 30.02 in Hg, 762.4 Torr, 14.74 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 56% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 1st of April 2020 Brillo, covbob, eek, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and WTFH popped in, and the TPD Summer Holiday Specifically in General was mentioned.
So I've bumped it.
.
Walk (up to the res & back down through the woods) walked. A mile up & a mile back down.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus, this being more inneresting than DiTiDi.
More youtube bollox about Inside Trump's Head from the Daily Beast. Well it passes the time.
Book. Other book.
Freecell score (when the box finally booted into safe mode): 95%, running average: 84%.
Tea: baked beans & baked spuds. Nice enough. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about closing CofE churches right left & centre. There're 3 Church in Wales churches within a mile in Neath, one just up the road is 12th C, another 12th C in Neath, and a big feck off Victorian one 200 yards from that. And there's another two across the river.
Book. Other book.
Danny Trejo Buried Crap thing on Blaze: military buried crap, including one of Churchill's staybehind bunkers, some septic bunker in Virginia, an Enigma machine divers found off the coast of Germany, etc. etc.
BBC4: Highway to the sun: the A303: A Gricer special. Now trying to find out if Annie's Tea Bar is still there. The MOT on the Morris "1000" Traveller is stil good (it's fitted with a 1275 engine, so a bit more pep than usual).Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 22:32.

More watery wildlife on the box today
Tonight, I read more of One Two Three Four in which an ever-perceptive Ringo, after meeting a young Jeffrey Archer, said “He’s the kind of bloke who’d bottle your piss and sell it”
Goodnight all
