No further telly tonight, but a lot of stuff read on Twitter, largely crowing over how things will go tomorrow
Speaking of which, tomorrow is my last working day of the week!
Same for the Secretary of State I believe - well, last working day in the department in her case
Goodnight all

i see that she’s airborne. I do hope that she waves if they fly over my house at around 5.30am. I might even be out with MMtSH by then.

Tea has been chicken in red wine sauce, with rice for a change
Accompanied by S4E1 of Secrets of the London Underground, for it's back!
Just like yesterday, it's turned sunny for the evening out there

Good job you're not on VS - they've been cancelling their Caribbean flights
I'm not surprised other destinations in the Caribbean have been cancelled as Beryl has caused / continues to cause havoc. The last thing SVG and Grenada needs is tourists.

Yesterday was the calm between storms. Today's weather doesn't have a name but it's windy and very wet. Not sure if it's the sound of the rain falling on the palms that makes it seem worse. Apparently there are thundershowers but I've not need / heard anything to corroborate that. Currently 27 degrees with a high of 29 expected.
We're due to head home today, and I'm not looking forward to the drive to the airport. I expect there'll be much flooding on the way. Hopefully the roads won't be busy if people decide to stay home and wait it out.
BA254, I assume, or are you on VS198?

Very gloomy out, with impending drizzle

Got a very excited message from my uncle in Australia. He has been browsing some genealogy forums and found someone who has some information on our (great)-great-great-grandfather, at what point do I tell him the message is from my dad, his brother asking, a similar question on the same forum four years prior?

Morning.
Wednesday.
Dark.
Dank.
Dreary.
Sunless.
Drizzly.
Cool in here at 19.6 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto.
1004 mBar, 29.648 in Hg, 753.06 Torr, 14.562 psi, (down from 1012 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 67% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 16th of October 2019 it was sunny around here, I was in the hoi pollo, still sunny on the way home & sunny whilst the next patch of lawn was prepared, meanwhile WTFH was ditto ditty, or ditty ditto in the sunshine, or something, and NF slept late, had a Greg's steak bake, watched a spider catch a fly for later consumption, and had spag bol for tea.
The Freecell box was randomly resetting itself: turned out to be the onboard audio thing, so I turned that off and it managed to boot ok. I should uninstall the driver but oddly enough I can't be arsed.
Freecell score: 87%, running average: 86%.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: TWATO. <click>
"Buried": why the council that bought the PCB laden tip from Monsanto seem so unwilling to do anything about it.
Veronica Mars S2 E10, E11.
Tea: soup etc.
Entertainment: PM.
The Human Jungle S1 E8 "Fine Feathers (1963)". The woman in debt to HP companies one.
Blaze: What on Earth? Dallol town in a volcano in Ethiopia: I've seen this before on something else. Turns out to be a potash mine built by the Italian Fascists. Kim Il Sung's islands. Mystery light flashes reflected by atmospheric ice crystals. Cursed ancient city covered by sand.
Mysteries from above: In plain sight: arrows over the USA: airmail service.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 21:07.

Morning all
A bit murky and not exactly July temperatures out, but it was a pleasant perambulation non the less.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostDriving around the south of Barbados we saw visible signs of the high winds on Sunday night / Monday morning with bits of beach where they shouldn't be and other signs of damage.

Have been tracking the evolution of Beryl since it left the area and am stunned by how severe it's gotten.
Sounds like you escaped the worst of it

Grey again, with some drizzle again. Currently 11°C and expected to reach 17°, so very slightly cooler than yesterday overall. The barometers have dropped quite sharply to 997/110mB
