Assorted clothings were draped over the airer in a gap between meetings.

2 hours done. 4 to go.

Lunch prepped ready to finish off in my next gap.

[NickFitz]

Lunch: Heinz tomato soup and white toast

Spent a chunk of the morning mucking around with RealityKit shaders. Might get around to going for that country walk soon, after which I shall start digging into some blog posts and articles about barycentric coordinates, whatever they are

Morning all

Cloudy with occasional gaps. Some dampness about. Currently 10 degrees with a high of 14 expected. There could be some sunshine, there could be some rain. There's also a 'moderate wind warning' but that's for tomorrow. Barometer up to 998 mBar.

Sunrise 07:38; Sunset 17:53 BST

Rubbish sleep due to irritable legs and being too hot or too cold.

Assorted clothings are in the WM.

Six hours of meetings today.

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 17.4 deg, 16 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto, 10.5 in the saltinghouse.

Slight condensation on the bedroom window. 2nd time this autumn.

993.5 mBar, 29.34 in Hg, 745.2 Torr, 14.4 psi, (up from 990 last night assuming I tapped it), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 25th of February 2020 BR14 popped in with discussion of Hill Street Blues, NF mentioned it was on Amazon Prime, I didn't mention I had the dvds, LM couldn't be bothered to make pancakes.

Washing frenzy in progress: the chances of anything drying on the line seem remote, but we'll wait & see.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: "The death of an ordinary man" at 11:45. .

Can't say there's much in the way of drying going on with the washing. I'll bung the shirts in the TD at 15:00 if they're still damp.

Morning denizens

Cloudy start yet again, though there are some gaps and we may get some sunny spells, in theory. It's mild enough for October again too: 9°C and aiming for 13° this afternoon. The barometers are back up a bit at 985/993mB

Thinking of heading out to the countryside for a walk. Would make a nice change, and God knows I need the exercise

[WTFH]

Morning all
6C when we got back from our walk earlier. Mist in the valley is slowly burning off.

[NickFitz]

Finished Fifth Planet. It did indeed get better, though the ludicrous attitudes towards women persisted; an underlying tone of astonishment when the female cosmonaut proves capable of using a spanner and so on

Still some Diwali fireworks going off from time to time. Go to bed!

An email from Zoopla earlier informed me that one of the flats has sold (STC), and it proved to be the one on the top floor opposite where they always seem to be watching sport of some kind on the telly. A close examination of the photos also revealed that this must be the flat where the dogs live with their two servants! I like seeing the dogs coming and going; it's a shame they're moving

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been leftover Turkish bits, which needed to be finished off before they went off

To go with this, part two of the new 24 Hours in Police Custody which is about a thoroughly wretched affair

[NickFitz]

can't get your bike into the car??
roof/boot rack?
wait........... you're a contractor. get your driver to take it!
honestly, i don't know What the world's coming to.

I did realise after I'd posted that I could use the bike! I'd scoped out the bus stuff when I was first thinking about the wheel problem, back before the bike arrived

And a further check suggests that I can miss the worst of the uphill bits coming back by taking an obscure but still fairly direct route along some little-known suburban roads that I remember because a friend lived on one of them when I was a student

afternoon

HiHOOOOOO!
got invited back, must being doing something wrong.

oh, well...........................

Boomed!

[sadkingbilly]

I need to get the Toyota's alloys sorted out. There's a few places round and about that do it, but I'll probably end up choosing the one that's on a bus route that passes the end of my road, so I can get back easily

The beauticians working on my car just contacted me to say that sorting the alloy wheels out will be more effort than initially estimated, to the tune of an extra £50 +VAT per wheel.

I so hope this all ends up worth it

Lunch has been the rest of the sausage and bacon baguette

After some bright spells, it's turned very gloomy out. Still no rain forecast though

[ladymuck]

At least in more positive news, the tardy client has paid so I didn't need to do more chasing.
