Morning.
Wednesday apparently.
Dry.
Grey.
Wanly sunny.
Chilly in here at 14.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 deg in the leanto.
1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (untapped last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 23rd of September 2019 I bagged a pali, quite unaware, lunch consisted of health food from Ginsters, NF had successfully posted the Monday links (without trauma, how unlike last Monday), I had a trip down the dump with accumulated crap, though nothing of much consequence, and some Esteemed Customer from 2004/5 had returned wanting to upgrade his HND to a degree & was surprised to find we'd all retired, while next door's aerial erector put up a ladder outside my bedroom window without asking if it was ok by me. Just as well I was playing Freecell rather than watching pron. There was reference to James Corden who, rather unfortunately, wasn't hanged in the film "Pierrepoint", fat obnoxious **** that he is.

Lots of chat on Teams about ClientGov's main office being blockaded by pro-Palestine protestors this morning, with people who were planning to go in retreating to nearby cafés or other offices to wait it out, while those who got in early now can't leave. Turning to Twitter while I wait for something unrelated, I see a video of said blockade posted by the protesters

Morning all
Overcast but dry out. As we were leaving home it looked like we might get soaked on the far hill, but it was OK.
Only managed about 8.5km this morning. I blame the dog for sleeping in.

Oh, and Happy Beltane everybody!
I think that's all the first days of spring out of the way now

Morning denizens
Fog!
Not what I expected but it's a foggy start. Expected to remain cloudy all day with a chance of some rain around teatime. Warm again though, being 10°C already and reaching 18° in the afternoon. The barometers are down a tiny bit more at 998/1005mB

I read a bunch more of The Illusionist; he really was a most remarkable character, with some excellent ideas even in his early days of working out how best to conduct deception operations in the North African and Mediterranean theatres of war
Goodnight all

Tea: pork chop, chips and beans
Accompanied by a further episode of the thing with the motorway police that aren't always on the motorway and the dashcam clips that aren't anything to do with what's going on

Somebody in North Devon has been cutting heroin with something very bad. At first it was a one-off reaction but the numbers are rising.
Guess whose wife has spent most of the day fielding calls from clinical directors in the area wanting to make sure their teams know the requirements of naloxone/flumazenil to be administered.
Scary stuff (and if you know anyone who dabbles, tell them to be VERY CAREFUL)
Update: it's nitazenes. In THC vapes, tabs, etc. The heroin users are probably the best informed and least likely to be a problem, but it's the recreational users/festival goers who are going to be hit this year. 6 grains of the stuff is enough to kill you, and it's coming in from China.

Lunch has been a chunky cod fillet fish finger bap (wholemeal) with red sauce. Dead nice; haven't had one of those in a while

Morning. At last.
Tuesday apparently unless I've slept through it and it's Wednesday. No, the clock says it's "Tu".
Damp.
Grey.
Sunless.
Dreary.
Chilly in here at 13.8 deg (before I turned the fire on), much the same in the kitchen & leanto.
1003 mBar, 29.62 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.547 psi, (down from 1007 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 67% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 23rd of September 2019 there was patchy cloud for NF with rain forecast, whereas WTFH was back from his hols & a previous client was enquiring as to the availability of his services, and I was irritated by some loudmouth in the computer room in the library.
It must be said that I'm feeling just a tad odd this morning, but not nearly as odd as I did last night: I've never watched the clock on the chest of drawers with quite such fascination previously, every time I nodded off a bit & woke with a start. Most peculiar.
Veronica Mars S1 E21 "A trip to the dentist": the investigation of the missing time at the party (no involved).
The Mentalist S3 E1 "Red sky at night". The continuation of the cliff hanger.
The Mentalist S1 E16 "Bloodshot". WTF?
Scotland Yard "The Case of the River Morgue". The stolen body one.
Maigret has scruples S13 E2. The one about the Belgian model railway enthusiast who's afraid of being murdered by his wife.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 22:16.

Morning all
Blue sky, with minimal wispy fluff visible. There's a touch of frost on some of the lumps of moss on the roof that I can see from my office window. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Set to get a bit cloudier as the day progresses. Barometer down a smidge to 1014 mBar.
Today is also bin day here but I have to trundle my own receptacles. Recycling today.
