Afternoon all

Hot. Blue sky. No cloud. Currently 29 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

A morning of rejection emails. Still, that's better than being ghosted, I guess.

Links are up (at the second attempt)

Morning.

Monday.

Discussion of fava beans on today, next chianti, then liver. .

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Cool in here at 19.9 deg, 21.5 deg in the kitchen, 19 deg in the leanto, 16 deg in the saltinghouse.

1015.5 mBar, 29.9876 in Hg, 761.68 Torr, 14.728 psi, (down from 1018 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of October 2019 Farmageddon had proved suitably amusing, NF had some M&S variety of special sausages, and I had some long forgotten bol I found in the freezer compartment of the fridge.

Bedding wash in WM along with a random white shirt.

Out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable heat.

Jeans & cords in the WM.

3 lawns mown in the unbearable heat, more to mow if the fecking mower decides it will start again.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about countdown timers and wowcher, whatever that is.

TWATO. waffling on about Jnr doctor's pay. Nothing about pay for doctor designers of weapons of mass destruction. Bastards.

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc. Hot.

Is it nearly the weekend?

Morning denizens

Sunny start to what promises to be a hot day: already at 16°C and expected to get to 27° this afternoon as the first salvo in a warm week. The barometers are, perhaps unexpectedly, down a little at 1011/1019mB

[NickFitz]

Loads of Monkey Life seems to have disrupted the rest of the schedule, leading to bits of Australian borders and New Zealand roads policing scattered at random times through the rest of the day

And this evening, as there isn't a new one, a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E

Monday again tomorrow. It may be the day we finally learn the fate of the project, though it also may not be

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a roast beef dinner

I still don't know what's going on with the freezer that made like Lazarus, but for the past week it's worked perfectly - a tad colder than expected, if anything

The thermometer I have in there is one of those that records maximum and minimum temperatures, and the only time it dipped below its set temperature of -18°C was when I put some stuff in it after shopping, and then it got back down to the correct range within a few hours. I'm still not putting anything that's risky if it thaws out in there, like meat, but it's coping for now with bread, Yorkshire puds, and the like

It was a hot and sticky ride down to Sussex. I think the aircon in my car is kaput. More expense!

Mum was ok, new notes in the kitchen claiming things have been stolen. Evidently the steak knives have been found and it's now spectacles that are missing.

HWMBO greeted me with a cooling G&T on my arrival home.

[NickFitz]

The mundane laundry is on

Lunch was some KFC popcorn chicken that they included for free, reheated in the air fryer as it had gone a bit soggy in the fridge overnight. Nice enough as a snack, though not very filling so I might have something else in a bit

Are you mad? My gardener knows as much about the mechanics of mowers as I do about moderating internet forums!

ah! - an expert then

[WTFH]

morning,

doesn't your gardener take care of all that stuff??

Blue sky with wispy fluff. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Barometer up to 1023 mBar.

Off to visit Mum today. We finally sorted a gardener which she'll be pleased about.

[sadkingbilly]

Morning all
Lots of gardening yesterday and more to come today. Main mower deck belt went ping again and when I changed it, the replacement kept jumping off. Getting tired of repairing it.

1019 mBar, 30.09 in Hg, 764.3 Torr, 14.779 psi, (up from 1015 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 26th of October 2019 there was some sort of rugger competition under way, whereas I was more innerested in going to that Swansea to watch Shaun the Sheep in Farmageddon and buying more Glengettie teabags before I ran out of same, plus next door's cat wasn't using the litter tray much to my amazement, LM had had a nice evening out, and xogg had found a £10 note when clearing a footpath, which was nice.

Entertainment: something on R4, I forget quite wot.

The Mentalist S3 E3, E4, E5, this last the boring horserace one.
