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.
Jeans & cords out of the WM and pegged out on the line.
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.

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

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.
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
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.
