Lunch has been a couple of Christmas leftover sausage rolls

I need to make turkey soup. I've got the leftover thigh from the other day and my sister donated a leg and some meat from the Christmas bird, so that should be enough to make a medium-sized batch

Morning Afternoon.

Saturday.

Dry.

Grey.

Gloomy.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 11 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 deg in the leanto.

1025 mBar, 30.268 in Hg, 768.8 Torr, 14.866 psi, (down from 1027 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 14th of December 2019 LM went to the Playhouse Theatre to see Cyrano, I watched the concluding eps of BTVS and the remaining eps of Angel so as to start the final season next, while Brillo watched an Xmas movie with the kids: "Die Hard", whereas vetran watched an amateur version of Beauty & the Beast and NF watched "The Wire", totally against expectations.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Managed to find where they'd hidden the cranberry juice which saved buying it from Tesco.

Walk (greatly augmented again) walked in the grey gloom: not as raw as yesterday but still quite chilly. Spotted Alcwyn's Rock in the River Neath at Tonna again.

Lunch: brunch. The blood blister on the tongue burst last night but it's still sore.

Freecell score: 91%, running average: 81%.

Morning denizens

Still foggy, though it seemed to reduce in density somewhat late last night and isn't as thick now as it was yesterday afternoon. It's still mild for the time of year but still a tad chilly, at 4°C rising to 6° in a bit. The barometers are down to 1016/1024mB

Morning all, Glasgow calling

Dull and overcast. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 7) with a high of 10 expected. Rain forecast off and on for most of the day. Barometer at 1024 mBar.

HWMBO tells me localised flooding is forecast for 30th/31st and high winds on the 1st, when I'm due to head home.

Big family dinner this afternoon.

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) in which the mighty ape busies himself with important work in Hollow Earth and the hitherto unknown Subterranean Earth region (complete with tautologous name), while the big lizard does its dumb lizard stuff of smashing places up for no good reason up on normal Earth. There's also the big moth, which doesn't seem to do anything much but apparently it's friends with the lizard and that helps. It's quite good fun as these things go, but I'd be happy enough if they just stuck with the ape rather than dragging the lizard in, and the ape seemed to have things pretty much in hand

And then a rewatch of Gladiator (2000) because the new one is out now and I'll need to remember the old one well enough to moan that the new one isn't as good

Time to get to sleep now as I need to be up for Monkey Life tomorrow, hopefully without giant lizards

Goodnight all

I finally arrived at HWMBO's a couple of hours later than planned. Much weather afoot down in Europe and southern England. Less so up here

I was thinking about you when I read the story on the BBC News website about the delays. Glad you got there in the end!

23 moves for me, despite not getting any wrong. I didn't get any two-for-one moves though, where the one swapped out moves to the right place

I got lucky with a couple of 2-4-1 moves

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was accompanied by some Trucking Hell though as mentioned before, I'll soon be running out of that and will have to find something else

's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands was completed in 21 moves (5x5 map). I've been there, a lovely little walled city where the bonkers artist Hieronymus Bosch lived for most of his life. They have a fab (or did when I was last there) exhibition of his works there. All reproductions but that doesn't make them any less enjoyable to look at.

I finally gave in and subscribed to Netflix, as I want to be able to experience some of their exclusive cinematic masterpieces, such as Scorsese's The Irishman and the Indian SFX extravaganza RRR.

But first up, of course, had to be the surprise hit of the season Hot Frosty (2024) in which a young widow brings a handsome snowman to life with a magic scarf. It's surprisingly entertaining and although some would argue that the premise is unrealistic, we should bear in mind that a lot of things in The Hunt for Red October are equally unlikely to happen, or at least to happen in that way

geez, i Hate microsoft!

I like it. Only got to PCs but all synching ok, was easy to set up via ethenet.

[ladymuck]

Foggy out. Or misty. Poor visibility either way.

My flight was first delayed an hour and then cancelled. I swiftly rebooked myself onto the next one, due to leave about 45 mins later. This too is delayed about an hour but hasn't (yet) been cancelled.
