Morning denizens

Grey day again and staying on the cooler side, being 17°C and getting no higher than 19°. It's still breezy too, giving a "feels like" temperature of 14°. The barometers are still dithering around 1008/1015mB

The new washer-dryer is arriving, and indeed the old one departing, tomorrow between 13:15 and 15:15! I'm glad it's not one of those 7am slots

Morning.

Thursday?

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Cool in here at 19.9 deg, 21.5 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto.

1013 mBar, 29.91 in Hg, 759.8 Torr, 14.69 psi, (up from 1011 last night), 62% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 9th of February 2020 LM went to the BM via the underground, followed by a viewing of "Parasite", Brillo popped in, along with BR14, whereas WTFH visited TN (patron state of shooting stuff), Arkansas (where the toothpick came from), and Mississippi (where they burn a lot of stuff), and NF made a nice burger for tea, while I watched Doctor Who (no comment made), followed by Endeavour (naughty Morse).

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

Walk (towpath) walked in the sunshine. Got hit in the eye by a bumble bee.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: The Infinite Monkey change waffling on about light.

Morning all
Bags packed, The Dog is on his way to the brother in law. Garden to be watered, and then off to the airport.

^^ I liked the Resident Evil films. I may have to give them a rewatch. BloodRayne (2005), on the other hand, was a very poor movie adaptation of a not completely terrible game. Uwe Boll, enough said.



Morning all

Dull and overcast. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 21 expected. The ever-present minor threat of rain persists. Barometer up a smidge to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 05:57; Sunset 20:11 BST

The wedding was as expected. Lots of waiting around for things to happen. Lots of corralling of guests for photo opportunities. The food was decent, if under seasoned, and the speeches suitably turgid. Mum didn't have a clue what was going on half the time and my nephew kept her topped up with Pimms. We left after the speeches in the dead period where the venue was being reconfigured for the evening reception. I was home before 8pm.

Today, I have an unexpected non-billing day. I could have logged on and billed but decided not to bother. I might work Monday instead.

Movie night tonight! The major motion picture premiere was A Working Man (2025) in which Jason Statham is a former British special forces chap who's Moved On and Doesn't Do That Any More… until his friend's daughter is kidnapped, whereupon he has to revert to being Jason Statham. It's well plotted with a decent story that turns out much as one would expect from one of his films, and none the worse for that

And then a rewatch of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), the second film of that ilk, which is also much as one might expect. I still think these are generally a lot better than films based on a game would be expected to be

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Timesheets done for the week, dinner book for tomorrow night, The Dog is going to stay with his favourite uncle after I’ve walked him (The Dog) in the morning.

Tonight's tea has been that pork and cider thing I made the other week with chips and peas. It's very nice, but I can't remember how I made it! It must have been based on a recipe I found online, so I'll have to search my browser history

Found it! It was from the Irish Food Board's website; I'll have to see if they've got any other good recipes on there, because that one was a winner

This was accompanied by the not-very-motorway cops thing. At least the producers have finally come around to the idea that the dash cam clips and archive footage they include should maybe have some vague relevance to what's going on in the programme

I've hauled everything out from the cupboard under the sink, as they'll need to get in there to unhook the old washer-dryer and connect the new one. This has made me realise that it doesn't actually have to be the cluttered and disorganised mess that I've just kind of accepted. That was simply a result of me dumping stuff in there in a hurry when I was first moving in, then adding more stuff as and when something seemed like it belonged in there

It doesn't help that the pipes for the washer-dryer are trailing across it though. Once the new one's been installed, I'll rig something up to run those along the top, or at least higher up, out of the way

Just got an email re a Saturday walk with another loony lady. Mmm.

Lunch: Heinz oxtail soup and white toast

It continues to be a gloomy and rather chilly day. It's not even up to 20°C out yet, and only 21.4° in here

[WTFH]

Just past the 50% mark in scrambled maps and have arrived at the town of Sasaguri.
