Lunch: roast beef butty (wholemeal)

Still quite gloomy out, though the supposed light showers aren't making an impression and may be a figment of the weather app's imagination

Apparently tomorrow afternoon and evening is expected to be a bit damper, so I'm thinking of going shopping tonight while it's still reasonably dry.

Mundane laundry has been done and is nearly dry

[WTFH]

Morning all
Slept in, looked out the bedroom window and it looked like it was going to be a good day. Got to the back door and decided I needed to take a coat.

Due to the later start, we only managed just over 6km, but it remained dry the whole way, and still is.

Morning all

Cloudy with grey flecks but the sun is making a valiant effort at breaking through. Ground slightly damp from early morning rain but no further precipitation forecast. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Barometer up to 1006 mBar.

On site today.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Blue sky in parts.

Cool in here at 18.3 deg, 19 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto, 15 deg in the saltinghouse.

997.5 mBar, 29.456 in Hg, 748.18 Torr, 14.4675 psi, (up from 992 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 74% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of September 2019 WTFH had to cut the grass twice since it was too long to have cut it once, the idle fecker next door had allowed his grass to grow to a length that it needed strimming before meeting the lawn mower, I was still reading "A bright shining lie" with a mere 680 pages to go, plus watching three eps of "Jeremiah", one of which I totally failed to recall, followed by something about Michael Jagger & his beat combo, thence to World War Weird and all that involves (more bollox mostly), though Operation Mincemeat did get a lookin.

Shirts & smalls in the WM.

Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

The weather prognosticator had implied a small chance of precipitation but looking at those clouds I'd put it down as a certainty.

I was wrong on that: Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned.

Smalls in off the line & airing upstairs just like the shirts.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine and bracing wind.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about Chinese bogus companies registered at UK residents addresses.

TWATO <click>

Veronica Mars S2 E10 "One angry Veronica": she's got jury duty. At 18. Can't buy an alcoholic drink legally but can serve on a jury.

Tea: chilli con carne etc.

Entertainment: not much on this evening.

Morning denizens

Grey start with traces of some recent rain lingering. Not much more of that expected, though it might be a bit breezy. Currently 13°C with a predicted high of 18°, and the barometers are up a little at 992/1000mB

[NickFitz]

First on the box tonight was an old Police Interceptors

And then the final part of Secrets and Spies - or is it? Aldrich Ames still hadn't been caught by the end, and it finished with "The story continues…" so maybe there's another series, or more of this one that hasn't been on yet? Who knows

I also read a chunk of a recently-published ebook about some of the less well-known features of Swift, all of which seem as if they might come in handy at some point

Early night now, as the morning light will probably wake me up early anyway

Goodnight all

Chicken and chips for tea

It's shaping up to be a rather chickeny week, as I'm finding a fair amount of various forms of it in the freezers, and I'm in the process of using up as much out of them as possible so I can sort out a good system for getting by with only the fridge-freezer in the kitchen

[ladymuck]

The rain did indeed stop and it's bright yet cloudy.

Went out for a nice lunch at a Polish place in Waterloo.

Now waiting to see a man about a bush.

[NickFitz]

Lunch, when I finally had time for it, was ham toasties

The delay was due to a perfect storm of people asking me questions about different stuff. Well, two conversations in Teams and one in Slack. But one of them required me to go and check stuff in several internal and a couple of external systems to be able to give answers, one needed a bit of an explanation of the entire modus operandi of (part of) the project, and the third one required me to monitor a bunch of activity across several different services in AWS while simultaneously modifying some configuration stuff and checking some Git logs

Ah well, at least last week's timesheet, which I realised I'd forgotten to submit as I was going to sleep last night, has been approved

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Dull. Raining with varying levels of vigour. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. The rain may cease by mid morning. Barometer down to 1003 mBar.

I forgot to put the bins out last night so had to venture out in the rain to trundle the recycling and food waste bins this morning.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast here, but yesterday's rain has gone and parts of our walk were on almost dry paths. 9.2km walked.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Tuesday.

Damp.

Wanly sunny.

Cool in here at 18.7 deg, 19 deg in the kitchen, 18 deg in the leanto.

993 mBar, 29.3232 in Hg, 744.811 Torr, 14.4 psi, (down from 995 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 73% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of September 2019 various films were watched, it turned out grey dark & dank, October was imminent, and I was still actually picking up the phone when it rang from the scammers, which shows how long ago that was since I don't bother any more.

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

The walk was very abbreviated since it started picking with rain & I couldn't be arsed to get wet.

Lunch: beans on toast (cheesy) etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y phone in <click>.

The remainder of The Infinite Monkey cage "Are humans evolving". Well, looking at the Orange Moron, probably not.

Veronica Mars S2 E9 "My mother, the fiend": the baby abandoned in the girls bogs during the dance one.

"The Colditz Story (1955)" with Eric Portman, John Mills, Lionel Jeffries, Bryan Forbes, et al. Al was rather good.

Scotland Yard "Person Unknown (1956)".

Maigret and the tramp (2004).

Morning denizens

Rainy grey start this morning. It's 13°C at the moment and not getting any higher than 16°, and the barometers are down at 988/995mB. The rain's expected to stop mid-morning, but no sunny spells expected

[NickFitz]

Tonight's viewing was the first two parts (of three) of Secrets & Spies: A Nuclear Game which is very interesting, about all kinds of spy machinations in east and west during the 1980s

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been chicken madras with rice and naan

None of the threatened rain turned up, and it seems a pleasant evening, albeit breezy and cloudy
