    Lunch has been a pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

    It's brightened up considerably out; looking rather Simpsonesque now

    Morning all

    Sunny and dry. Clear sky from my vantage point. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

    My aunt texted me this morning asking if Mum was eligible for any Alzheimer's trials. Because her conclusion after forgetting her sister existed for the past two years is that she now needs to interfere in her care. I will be charitable and assume that this is her just trying to be more involved and scratching around for things that might help.

    Morning.

    Thursday.

    Dry.

    Wanly sunny.

    Chilly in here at 16.6 deg, 16.5 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

    1012 mBar, 29.884 in Hg, 759.1 Torr, 14.6778 psi, (down from 1019 last night), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 24th of November 2019 NF's visit to the chinese was back to normal with no other customers, nor Amber Rudd, viewing included yet more of "The Wire" along with locations as shown on google, whereas I was still watching BTVS and Angel, and xogg was wondering why weather forecasts were so pessimistic since rather than cloud & mist he experienced a sunny day with blue skies.

    The Wife left me this morning.

    Well, I say left, she's gone off with a school friend to visit another friend who is rather ill.

    Slightly misty and overcast start, though the sun is just about to come up and it'll clear up a lot going into the morning. It's 8°C ("feels like" 3°, so there must be a breeze, though it's not obvious to me) with an expected high of a balmy 16° this afternoon. The barometers are heading down again, at 1009/1017mB

    Tonight in reading, I finished off The Founders. And then I started on Falling by T. J. Newman. This is the first novel by a former flight attendant, who's been very successful with this and her two subsequent books - movie rights sold for vast sums, top of the bestseller lists, and all that. I think I bought it because it was part of a "buy four things and get x% off" offer on Amazon. Anyway, it seems like a decent enough thriller so far, though I haven't actually got very far with it as I got distracted researching the possibility of rendering irregularly-shaped views in SwiftUI

    Thursday tomorrow!

    Goodnight all

    Much research needed for the additional project I was put onto. Spent the day surfing t'interweb for clues.

    Another day done and it was quite interesting, working with somebody else on some stuff. But I'll be glad when it's this time tomorrow and I'm done for the week

    Lunch: bacon bap

    It's brightening up here now. The lawns out the front have been mowed; I just saw a squirrel going round inspecting the results, probably making sure that the stuff I sometimes see him or her burying in it is still there

    Morning all

    It started off sunny with lumps of fluff but has now clouded over. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. No rain forecast. Barometer up to 1028 mBar.

    It looks like the missing recycling bin that belonged to the flat upstairs has been found and returned. Or, someone has randomly dumped a recycling bin out the front. I'll take a look later. The lad upstairs got a replacement delivered so that means a surfeit of recycling receptacles. I'm sure the council will happily take away the spare bin for reuse elsewhere.

    Morning.

    Wednesday apparently according to the distopian R4 programmes I just listened to, featuring all those tech bros who have a 90% chance of fecking up the world even more than it's fecked up at the moment.

    Dry.

    Wanly sunny.

    Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 16.5 deg in the kitchen, 14.5 in the leanto.

    1026 mBar, 30.2977 in Hg, 769.56 Torr, 14.88 psi, (up from 1025 last night), 65% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on November 23rd 2019: unchanged from yesterday. .

    Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine.

    Lunch: there was.

    Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about something or other.

    Freecell score: 89%, running average: 79%.

    House roughly vacced, having cleaned the filter the vac is back in stick to the ceiling mode again: very hard to push on some flooring.

    Tea: Tesco battered haddock etc. Nice enough.

    Entertainment: book.

    Freecell score: 88% running average: 79%. Was 33% at one stage. .

    Maigret: the murder at the crossroads. S2 E2 apparently.

    Slightly foggy start out and not so warm at 8°C, though it'll brighten up this afternoon and get to 15°, or so it is foretold. The barometers are up to 1019/1027mB
