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

It's quite possible I will have to explain it, in fact, as Excel includes a BOM when it exports to CSV. This was causing Unicode problems a couple of years ago in handling data being sent back by the trade attachés (they aren't called that any more, but it's the same thing) at our embassy in China

Forgot to mention that I successfully recovered my food waste bin yesterday on my way out. It was over the road, between two parked cars.
