Morning.

Saturday.

Grey.

Dark.

Dreary.

Sunless.

Wet with that very fine drizzle again.

Cool in here at 20.4 deg, 22 deg in the kitchen, 20 deg in the leanto.

1011.5 mBar, 29.869 in Hg, 758.68 Torr, 14.67 psi, (unchanged), 75% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 31st of October 2019 NF had a mundane haircut after watching the first ep of "I Claudius", Brillo nearly got offed by some inconsiderate driver turning left in front of him while he was on his bike, WTFH took the dog(tw) for a walk, and the flatulent one was present in the library computer room so I left for a trip to that Swansea.

How many times today, I wonder?

Morning all

Sunny with lumps of fluff. A nice breeze. Currently 21 degrees with a high of 24 expected. Cloud set to dissipate further as the day progresses. Barometer up to 1017 mBar.

Popped over the road to the farmers' market. A new (to me) stall has appeared, selling game produce. Turns out they're there every weekend but had been on holiday since pretty much when I moved in. Lots of venison and boar but also hare, which makes a change. The Carribbean sauce lady was back so HWMBO got me to pick up a load for him to take home after his next visit. Also picked up a tray of pullett eggs.

It's cloudy with a light breeze out there today. Warm enough at 18°C though, rising to 24° this afternoon. The barometers are up again at 1006/1013

Monkey Life has been moved earlier today, apparently because of some football thing in the afternoon. I certainly didn't ask for that

Having had croissants with strawberry jam for breakfast, I need to start getting ready to head to the BBQ soon

Tonight's major motion picture wasn't a premiere, but it's a few years since I watched it: Saving Private Ryan (1998). I still don't think it's the best war film ever, but the action sequences are exceptional

Early night now due to BBQ journey tomorrow

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a Sainsbury's special offer from last week, being assorted barbecue beef bits: short ribs, brisket, and burnt ends. Nice enough with chips, though those generic BBQ sauces all seem much of a muchness to me

It said it served four so I assumed it would serve two, as in one now with one portion left over, but maybe "serves three" is nearer the mark. Plenty to go in the fridge, at any rate

And it was accompanied by Trucking Hell

[NickFitz]

Lunch was a bacon and egg sandwich.

Following NF's discovery of a 7th rasher I thought I'd check to see how many were left in the packet bought from the farmers' market. I too had 7 rashers! Only three left now which will make for a well stacked sandwich.

Another week done, so let the weekend commence!

I'm heading south for a BBQ tomorrow, with my siblings and also our cousins from our father's side

[xoggoth]

After me morning walky went to a local pub and sat in garden gnoshing a cheese toasty. Very fat topless bloke sitting nearby with jeans way down showing me his bum crack. Why is it always blokes who do that??

A somewhat busy morning delayed me, but I managed a lunchtime dash to the closer Sainsbury's for various bits. That one doesn't have a hot food counter, so lunch instead has been a cold chicken leg and a bag of plain crisps. I do like a bit of cold roast chicken in warm weather

[ladymuck]

Tonight's viewing was The Body Detectives on C4, in which they investigate cold cases of missing people and unidentified bodies. This one was about a chap who was lost to the sea during a trip to the seaside in 1984, and they ended up exhuming a body that had been swept up on the coast of France ten days later and buried in the local cemetery. They actually showed the exhumation, which isn't something I've seen on telly before - French gravediggers scooping up handfuls of bones and dumping them in a new coffin to be taken to the lab

That sounds interesting, I'll give that a watch this evening

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Bright and breezy with lumps of fluff scurrying across the sky. Currently 21 degrees with a high of 24 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer down a snifter to 1012 mbar.

The gardener finally got back to me yesterday and Mum is now booked in for Thursday next week.

Morning. .

Friday.

Bonfire mostly consumed. It would appear there's much gardening to be done since I can only just get into the green house.

Dry.

Dampish.

Meanwhile on the 30th of October 2019 there was discussion of making rice pudding in the microwave, mundane washing, when the Rover P4 changed from Whitworth bolts to AF (whatever thread), the fairly mediocre BTVS "Beer Bad", WTFH was having a quiet day with the dog, his Mrs was off on a spa day, while LM was watching Lucy Worsley followed by a prog about weasles, whereas NF was watching something about Lehman Brothers.

Morning denizens

Quite a sunny start but still very breezy after a blustery night. Already up to 16°C on its way to 23° while the barometers are down a bit at 998/1006mB

Friday!

And as I seem to have neglected to record the fact, yesterday's tea was chunky breaded cod with chips and beans, meaning it was quite a day for breaded fish products
