It's quite possible I will have to explain it, in fact, as Excel includes a BOM when it exports to CSV. This was causing Unicode problems a couple of years ago in handling data being sent back by the trade attachés (they aren't called that any more, but it's the same thing) at our embassy in China

Forgot to mention that I successfully recovered my food waste bin yesterday on my way out. It was over the road, between two parked cars.

Much confusion as they interrupt this morning's run of Monkey Life with a programme about an award for portrait artists, pushing the remaining episodes back ninety minutes. I'm not sure they've really thought about their target audience here; most chimps who pursue an artistic vocation concentrate on abstract expressionism

Morning all
Cloudy but quite bright. Wet and raining. Windy. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 3). Rain expected all day. Barometer up to 1017 mBar.
Trying to summon the wherewithal to get ready to drive down to Mum's. Hope it's not too windy on the route I take.

Morning.
Sunday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Windy.
Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 12 in the kitchen, 9 in leanto, 6.4 deg in the saltinghouse.
1023 mBar, 30.2 in Hg, 767.3131 Torr, 14.837 psi, (up from 1012 last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 7th of December 2019 yet more BTVS and Angel were viewed, whereas on the 8th of December it was windy.
Shirts in the WM. Shirts out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
Smalls in the WM. Smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.
Yesterday's bodge on the garage roof seems to have held up well enough overnight.
I might do something proper tomorrow if the fancy takes me.
EBCDIC: haven't thought of that in 35 years since the need to read IBM 8" floppy diskettes went away. Long long ago and far far away, they did things differently then. And I didn't get paid much or appreciated much for doing it.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 12:42.

Windy out, but sun is shining. Lawnmower shed roof is still intact, but summerhouse & workshop have lost their felt.

Morning denizens
Branch down! A bit of one of the tall conifers along the front of the big lawn has come off and is lying at the far side of said lawn
It's still windy and rainy, though not as bad as last night. Fairly mild for the time of year, being 5°C with 7° due later; the barometers are shooting back up at 1008/1016mB

Lots of Monkey Life and other wildlife stuff today, as usual
This evening, I started reading Siegfried Sassoon's The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston - or rereading to start with, as it's three books in one and the first is Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, which I read about thirty years ago. Haven't read the other two though. It's an odd work because although it's fictional, it's really an autobiography with the names changed and various significant elements of his life, such as poetry, omitted. But everything in there also appears in his actual autobiographies
Early night now, ready for more Monkey Life first thing
Goodnight all
