    Hi people.
    today has been mostly plumbing and IT related.
    fitted new karzy seat, fixed flush and cistern level.
    resurrected an old, creaky* win98 laptop by replacing battery, installing 16Gb memory (I had old SODIMMs in a drawer), and installing Linux Mint64. - cost 35 quid for the battery.
    works fine for what my mate wants(email,chrome,libreoffice).

    *just like me, this entropy thing is overrated.
    nice lazy sunday

    The bed has been stripped and left to air while the laundry gets laundered.

    I had a rather poor night's sleep, often waking for no obvious reason. This continued until some time after seven, when I decided I might as well get up - which, of course, caused me to immediately drop off and sleep solidly until nearly ten
    Your body is used to you being up at the weekend until 3-5am. It simply can't cope with you going to bed at 11pm on a non school night.

    I see that great swathes of the A24 (my preferred route) are also closed. Google is suggesting convoluted route to get to the A3 then down through Petworth. A route I never particularly enjoyed driving. HWMBO has made the wise suggestion that we go tomorrow instead.

    Morning all

    Still cloudy but much sunnier than yesterday. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 22 expected. Barometer continues its slow downward trend to 1010 mBar.

    Off to see Mum today. With the M25 closed it'll be interesting to see what the surrounding roads will be like.

    Morning.

    Sunday.

    Dry.

    CBS.

    Cool in here at 18.4 deg, 19.5 deg in the kitchen, 17 deg in the leanto, 13.8 deg in the saltinghouse.

    1007.5 mBar, 29.751 in Hg, 755.687 Torr, 14.61 psi, (down from 1008 last night), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 21st of October 2019 I bought some kitty litter (I assume them next door were away or something), followed by a walk up to the res and the viewless point (this last I haven't been to in years now after the leg excitement in 2020), whereas NF was posting Monday links and lunch was had by NF and LM and me, all in different places of course, just to clear up any misunderstanding.

    Shirts in the WM.

    Shirts out of the WM.

    Smalls in the WM.

    Smalls out of the WM.

    Cottons in the WM.

    Shirts & smalls & my mum's pinnies* (as discovered in a drawer during the moth killing sprees a month or so ago, it's taken until now to remember to wash them) pegged out on the line.

    Lunch: baked spud etc.

    Entertainment: thing about Septic skool shootings. Considering "they" (the BBC) changed one of this morning's broadcasts due to the Orange One's lucky escape, surprising the skool shootings one remained.

    Shirts and pinnies* in off the line & roughly iRoned: now airing upstairs.

    *No idea why I'm keeping these: I'll never use them. Then again there are table cloths embroidered by my Gran that'll never be used (no table), so: ditto (and she popped her clogs in 1967).

    Cottons in off the line & those requiring the iRon received its attentions.

    Cooking some eating apples that have festered in the kitchen since I went off them during the 2nd chinese plague attack some months ago.

    Entertainment: the extras on the "Sunset Boulevard (1950)" dvd.
