There's a pied wagtail on the lawn!

We don't usually see them here - it probably lives in the park, where there's a pond (they like living near water) but isn't so keen on the bands

I have internet! Woo!

It's a trap! It's too late for us, but flee! Flee for your life!

Bacon butty for lunch

No further rain, so there's a chance the park won't be turned into a quagmire

I'm confused about the road closures. Looking at the council's website, it says the road past the park will only be closed from 9pm to midnight, and that only from near the other end of our road to another side road further down. But Google Maps' traffic layer has all of it closed all day. Same for the main road along the top of the park. There's another map site dedicated to road closures, roadworks and such that the council link to from their site, but that says the same as Google

I suppose I could satisfy my curiosity by walking a hundred yards and looking for myself. But I can't really be bothered

Morning all

Overcast. Wet. Raining. Currently 12 degrees ('feels like' 10) with a high of 17 expected. Rain forecast off and on all day. Barometer at 1000 mBar.

My barometer was reading far higher than the weather app so I've opted to 'recalibrate' it and see if it significantly drifts again. (Recalibration being via the little screw on the back, not a hammer)

Today I am expecting the internet to arrive and, less hopefully, a water meter. The bill from Thames Water for an unmetered small flat was huge compared to what I was paying in the house (which was metered). I'm not letting them shysters get away with that. However, what I thought was the stop cock inside the flat doesn't appear to do anything so I don't know if a meter can be fitted. Will find out this afternoon.

Is The Good Ship Murder the one where it always ends with the cheesy crooner doing a song?

Yeh, sometimes find it a good inspiration for my cheesy Tuesday karaoke session.

Morning.

Saturday apparently.

Damp.

Torrential overnight.

Grey.

Sunless.

Cool in here at 18.9 deg, 19.5 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.56 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (up from 996 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 17th of October 2019 it was still raining old women & sticks, and further eps of BTVS S2 were enjoyed, while NF had problems with the firealarm thing beeping in the hall which the Magick Code failed to clear, while LM shared cinema related seat swapping tales.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom, light rain, wan sunshine, more gloom, and finally more rain as I walked in through the back door.

Lunch: beans on toast (cheesy) etc.

Entertainment: Moneybox. <click>

Freecell score: 75%, running average: 86%

House roughly vacced.

Entertainment: Veronica Mars S2 E19, E20.

Ancient Aliens bollox on Blaze. Apparently ancient aliens nuked MohengoDaro when they weren't turning on & off missile silos.

Dixon of Dock Green S22 E

Something else to relieve the tedium & ennui of the evening.

The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre:

Morning denizens

Grey and drizzly out after a rainy night, though the rain is expected to finally stop soon. On the mild side too, being 10°C with an expected high of 16°. The barometers are down to 986/994mB

It seems Kasabian's thing in the park is more an evening event than the all-dayer I expected, with the gates not opening until mid-afternoon and the bands not starting until teatime

[WTFH]

Morning all
Yetserday’s rain should make gardening a little easier today.

In other news, BA can get me and my luggage out of a hurricane zone but can't do the same from Glasgow to London . I'll get home eventually today but my luggage will take a day or two more. My Bajan rum had better not be damaged.

Yep that’s the one - it’s been recommissioned 2 more series and a Christmas special - hardly surprising is channel 5’s second most popular show after all creatures

[NickFitz]

No further telly this evening

It's been very rainy, and might continue to be so overnight. Not sure what this will do to the park, which will have tens of thousands of people trampling on it tomorrow

Goodnight all
