Morning all
CBS, etc, TFIF, etc.
Walk was shorter than usual due to me and the dog both deciding to have a lie in.

Morning denizens
A sunny Friday morning with the wind having died down, though the open skies will presumably be letting the heat out: currently 13°C but not getting any higher than 21° later. The barometers are back up a bit at 1004/1012mB

Another old Traffic Cops was watched earlier, for want of energy to think of something else to watch
Friday tomorrow! About time too!
Goodnight all

Today in thorny questions on which I would have sought my Mum's advice but now can't: how much to give for my niece's wedding present?
They haven't bothered with a list of household appliances and crockery and such, sensibly in my view, instead soliciting donations of actual money to the "Honeymoon Fund". My sister is also unsure but suggested a figure that seems reasonable (and is towards the low end of what I was thinking the range might be) so I'll go along with that

Tea: homemade sweet & sour pork and fried rice. Not going to win any prizes in the Chinese equivalent of Masterchef (General Secretary Chef?) but it's nice enough

Fraud call from "Natwest security" but they gave my full name which is a bit worrying.

Afternoon all
It's been an intermittently cloudy day and I think there may have been a shower or two here and there. Currently 22 degrees and that's the high for the day. Showers due this evening / overnight. Barometer still at 1012 mbar.
Much pottering about this morning and not much achieved. My brother texted me to say the gardener had arrived at Mum's - she called him in a panic wondering what the hell was going on . Once she realised she wasn't in mortal danger, she made the chap a cup of tea.
In other news, the job hunt continues in fruitless fashion.

Lunch earlier was a sausage bap (white, no sauce, cold sausages)
Still grey out with the occasional threat of drizzle, though no drizzling has happened yet. The wind's got up though

Exciting trip to the dump this morning, box full of stuff I have cleared from the shed very heavy, knackering to carry it to me van. Prob. ll1 later, if I'm not feeling so tired from another grotty night sleep.

Haircut done!
Despite getting there at 7:45, I had to wait until past 8 before I was seated, due to there being a bloke already there who was having one of those complicated trims and also having his beard styled or some such nonsense. He still looked like a scaffolder's mate once she was done with him, so I'm not sure it was worth the effort. Still, if it makes him happy…
Anyway, I finally got my turn, and I was out in time to get back before the traffic was too bad

Cut the grass yesterday evening, it got to the point that the beam from the headlights on the mower was actually visible.
Light, wispy cloud this morning.

Morning.

Dry.
Very grey.
Sunless.
Cool in here at 20.7 deg, 23 deg in the kitchen, 20 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 1st of November 2019 LM went to watch "Terminator: Dark Fate", NF changed his hotel booking to one night so he could make a quick escape after the conference, xogg nearly joined a walk until he found it was for gay, bi, and trans persons, WTFH had an interview, NF couldn't decide what to have for tea, whereas I had M&S breaded haddock as is only right & proper.
Martin duly sent off on his way. X5 down, 36 up, 36 back down, and a 34 home (this last a mistake: the T6 would have been much better).
Lunch: beans on toast etc.
Entertainment: R4 play about Clive Pontin and the Belgrano affair. I wonder if Hilda Murrell gets a mention. .

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc.
