Tonight's reading was a bit more Siegfried Sassoon
And I placed a Sainsbury's order for delivery on Friday so I don't have to bother going shopping. I don't need much so it's not worth going all the way there, but on Saturday we're having pre-Christmas lunch with the nieces who are going to the other side of their family this year, so I need to get chocolates and stuff like that
Three more days…
Goodnight all

Scotch broth and a bit of wholemeal for lunch - warming, delicious, and nutritious

Morning.
Monday.
Grey.
Wanly sunny if you use imagination.
Breezy.
Cold side of chilly in here at 11.5 deg, 10.5 deg in the kitchen, 9.5 deg in the leanto, 8 deg in the saltinghouse.
1030.5 mBar, 30.43 in Hg, 772.938 Torr, 14.946 psi, (up from 1027 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).
Cottons in the WM.
Meanwhile on the 9th of December 2019 it was cold, I was and the washing was in the WM.
Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.
New neighbours moving in next door. . There's been no one in there for about 5 years or more.
I'll have to turn the volume up to 11 to greet them. Hope they like Pink Floyd & Hawkwind.
Cottons out of the WM & pegged out on the line. The pillow cases look less than savoury.
Lunch: brunch.
The afternoon's task is replacing the broken* clear corrugated sheeting stuff with some inferior B&Q crap that's been in the shed for 10 years or more. It should be nicely ripe by now.
*Broken as in half of it blew away.
Done: horrid stuff to cut: power saw no good, hand saw not much better: went ok until the final nail, whereupon the sheet cracked. Now bodged with weatherproof tape. Feck it.
Freecell score: 75%, running average: 80%. Gave up.
Cottons in off the line, nearly dry, now in TD: those requiring the iRon: done.
To avoid the bedgoer's angst I remade the bed before doing the work on the garage.
Tea: chicken in white sauce with rice n peas etc.
Entertainment: Nazi Hunters: Adolph Eichmann.
UFO hunters: more bollox: this time: Dugway: The "New" Area 51?
Canals: the making of a Nation: William Smith: geology.
Oak Island nutjobbery. Well I didn't see much of that being preoccupied with reading a thread about a video by "Mendit Mark" being taken down from youtube by a "copyright infringement" from Tom Evans Audio Design. Not sure that drawing your own schematic counts as copyright infringement but there you go, that's youtube for you.
I met a nutter sometime in 1996/7 who was supposedly some sort of audio guru cum pain in the arse who wanted some surface mount pcbs populated. He had all sorts of curious concepts about how to use opamps. And the capacitors he wanted mounted on the pcbs were 0805 when the outline used on the pcb was 1206 so they all tombstoned in the oven.

Morning all stormy overnight again, but it's settled a bit now to a mild 7C.
Might have to take an hour or two out of my billable day to re-felt the summerhouse now that I have battens ready to go on top.

Morning denizens
There's some banks of cloud low on the horizon and the trees are still shimmying a bit, but it's generally much calmer out than it has been. It's currently 5°C and only getting to 7°, while the barometers are bouncing all the way back at 1022/1030. Chance of a few minutes of light rain in thirty minutes or so, though
I struggled to get to sleep last night but once I did, I seem to have slept like the proverbial log. I'd probably feel better for it if I hadn't had to wake to Monday morning. But at least I'm nearly done for the year

Tea has been Turkish leftovers
Today's viewing was, of course, Monkey Life (albeit interrupted by artists, as noted earlier)
Nothing new at the Canadian border, or at the Australian border that got thrown in for good measure, or on the roads of New Zealand
This evening, I read some more Sassoon.
I also found a bit of time here and there to sort out some bags of stuff that had been cluttering the side of the living room for ages. Apart from a small nest of tables that needed reassembling, they mostly contained books from the parental home, it turned out
It still seems to be pretty windy, though the rain seems to have petered out
Monday again tomorrow, but at least this will be the last working week of the year
Goodnight all
