Unprecedented situation this afternoon when they showed some US borders AND NZ roads policing stuff that I'd either not seen before, or at least hadn't seen so often that I recognised it

Then later, a new episode of Saving Lives in Cardiff and some old ones of 24 Hours in A&E, in which I did remember one patient for her bright red dyed hair

No need to get up early tomorrow!

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Well, The Wife^TM’s birthday is done. Her 1.2m elephant sculpture for the garden went down very well (which officially came from MMtSH), meanwhile the replacement plastic blades for her strimmer that I bought received the appropriate response.

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

While it was being microwaved and so on, I decided to open the kitchen window to let some nice fresh air in. Unfortunately, it seems there's been muck spreading going on to windward of the city, so the place now smells like dung

Afternoon all

Warm and sunny, occasional fluff. Currently 24 degrees with a high of 27 expected. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

Weather app still showing its thunderstorm alert but none forecast.

Down at Mum's today where it's 25 degrees and sunny. Had a good drive down.

Meanwhile on the 7th of November 2019 NF had Big Chicken soup before travelling down south to that Brighton, while LM was rained on in Amsterdam, and I went down the dump with green waste in yet another gardening frenzy.

Haven't been to a conference since

Early lunch has been some Chinese (allegedly) chicken drumsticks that were on offer at Sainsbury's, along with a bag of plain crisps. The chicken was OK but I don't think I'll bother again

And on Monkey World we had the episode where Charlie, one of the long-time residents, died. Only about 27, but aged before his time due to years of cruel treatment until he was rescued

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom.

Just hid all the Neath antiquarian stuff on FB after they removed one of my comments on The Great Pond.

Morning denizens

Overcast start to the first day of September, though it's dry - although there's a 15% chance of a shower around 16:00, it seems. Quite warm, being 17°C already and expected to reach 24° this afternoon. The barometers down a bit though, at 1005/1013mB

[NickFitz]

Lots of Monkey Life today, and then additional wildlife stuff which managed once again not to get too much into sharks

Meanwhile at MI5, both Downing Street and retired Peter Wright (at the instigation of Victor Rothschild) have, unbeknownst to each other, tried to get Chapman Pincher to do their dirty work for them. As one might have expected, this has turned out badly for all concerned - except Chapman Pincher, who has done very nicely out of it

Early night now as there's early Monkey Life tomorrow

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been from the South Indian restaurant over past the park, and was very tasty indeed

Earlier, lunch was a bit of beef & Guinness pie that needed finishing off

[WTFH]

Out for dinner later for The Wife^TM’s birthday (tomorrow). Been a fairly quiet day otherwise.

[NickFitz]

Just remembered to submit a Delay Repay claim for my trip to London last Wednesday, as by my reckoning we arrived 16 minutes late

[ladymuck]

Much laundry has been done and draped about. Although no rain is forecast, I don't trust the look of the clouds.

HWMBO and I also have been to the local supermarkets for various items of produce. Then a quick stop into Sainsbury's as Fevertree tonic is discounted on My Nectar Price.

Afternoon denizens

I didn't actually get up especially late today, but I've been distracted by Monkey Life and sorting out various bits in the kitchen

It's pretty cloudy out and there's a chance of a shower any time now. Currently 21°C which is as good as it'll get. The barometers are very slightly up at 1012/1020mB

Meanwhile across the landing, boxes are being brought in by the new neighbour(s)

It's unclear if they're a couple or a woman being helped by her dad, because the bloke has that look of indeterminate age that comes from having a shaved head and being ruddy of complexion from the sun; he could be any age from thirty to fifty, at least looking at him from up here

The lift is seeing more work in one day than it normally does in a week as, like me, they're doing it a carload at a time, but don't seem to have worked out the system of stacking them by the lift downstairs until they've got the whole load in, shifting it all into the lift in one go and then out again onto the landing here, before finally moving the boxes into the flat. Only one ride on the lift per load if you do it that way

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Cloudy and dull. A bit of a stiff breeze. Currently 20 degrees with a high of 21 expected. The weather app has a thunderstorm warning that seems to cover most of the country. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.

HWMBO and I popped over to the farmers' market. A few bits and bobs were purchased.

I need to check tyre pressures before I head down to Mum's tomorrow.
