Nice diphthong, bro. .

Morning.

Thursday.

Wet. No overnight donner und blitzen but it sounded like it was raining a lot.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 14.5 deg, 15 deg in the kitchen, 14 deg in the leanto.

999 mBar, 29.5 in Hg, 749.3 Torr, 14.489 psi, (down from 1005 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

The recycling engineers made their merry way along the road earlier, proving today to be Thursday.

Still feeling a little weird. . But there you go, worse things happen at sea.

Meanwhile on the 24th of September 2019 it was wet & windy for WTFH, apparently the Gnoll Brook had done its overflowing overnight, though not of any great consequence (unlike the 1950s when there was a torrent of water flowing through the town), whereas NF's downstairs neighbours were having the bathroom replaced by the landlord, presumably to fix a leak, and BR14 suggested helpfully that NF might get his windows unstuck while they're at it.

Doctor's perambulated to (and from), green ring closed

Nice out there on the park early, before the foot traffic to the University becomes overwhelming. The trees I remember them planting when they added that path in 1981 look as if they've been there for ever, but I suppose it was over forty years ago

Not so impressed that the appointment they offered me for the thyroid blood test is in the first week of June, over a month from now. But it's exam time at the University, so they'll be busy handing out Valium to overstressed students all this month, I suppose

Morning all
A foreshortened walk this morning due to the inclemency of the weather, also about 4km in we got to a lane where the water was flowing fast over the whole width of the lane. I knew that meant we'd arrive at a pool of similar size to the one "man of the people, not one of the elite" Sunak put in to his Yorkshire home.

Morning denizens

Grey start again, but no sign of rain. Warm again, being 11°C already and likely to reach 20°. The barometers are down some more though, at 991/999mB

I have to pop over the park to the doctor's shortly to drop off a week's worth of blood pressure readings. I'm pretty sure that last year I was able to log them online, but maybe funding cuts led to them instead supplying a link to a PDF that you have to print out and fill in with a pen, like some kind of mediæval scribe

Well that was a fun thunderstorm.

Much lightning, lots of thunder, torrential rain. Lasted about an hour but there's still some flashes as it moves away to bother another area

The conservatory leaked and I had to spend half an hour mopping up. Fortunately HWMBO's eldest is here at the moment and they helped.

There was a new episode of the Brighton cops thing tonight, including an interesting bit where a guy's rucksack had been pinched from the railway station. He'd used Find My to track his iPad to a hotel and, upon checking with the receptionist, had even sussed out which room it was in. When the cops went to the room, the occupants had already scarpered in a hurry (having presumably seen the police car pull up outside), leaving the rucksack behind

Goodnight all

I'm currently bleeding radiators. No, seriously.

That's the spirit!

The Nectar card shenanigans has been sorted out (well, partially, with completion of the process expected soon) so I went a-shopping!

In fact, I went to M&S first, solely because the chocolate peanut cluster things I got from there last week were so nice that I've scoffed the lot and wanted more

I got other stuff as well while I was there, though. For a start, right next to them were some chocolate honeycomb things which looked rather nice

Onwards to Sainsbury's, though in fact I didn't need a huge amount from there - didn't even get the bill over £100 which is a surprise nowadays, particularly given that I bought razor blades, which cost more than the crown jewels on their own

Homewards, then, via the VAT fraud chip shop, so tea has been fish & chips

The chestnut outside the old flat is now in bloom, and the Polish café seems to be doing OK

It's HWMBO's birthday today.

Happy birthday HWMBO!

[WTFH]

how much are you charging clientco for this bleeding?

It's all part of the office politics*



*Particularly when you work from home and your wife complains from her office that there's a gurgling sound every time the heat comes on

It's HWMBO's birthday today.

Happy birthday HWMBO!

I'm currently bleeding radiators. No, seriously.

After getting the new vertical ones installed, there's been a bit of gurgling in the system. Air always coming out of just 2 rads. After taking advice from my plumber, I've turned all the other rads off and am letting the heating circulate for a while. Then go back and bleed again. Should be done in an hour.

Morning all

The day started off cloudy but seems to be brightening up now as there's a small patch of blue visible from my window. However, cloudy will remain the theme for the day. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 19 expected. No rain forecast during waking hours but there's a chance of thunderstorms overnight. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

I was supposed to go into the office today but I couldn't be bothered, so I didn't.

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.

Lunch: scrambled egg (just scrambled egg). etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y. TWATO.

Veronica Mars S1 E22 "Leave it to Beaver": the resolution of the mystery of Lily's murder one.

The Mentalist S1 E17 FFS.

Last 30 minutes of part 3 of "Murder in the Alps" that tribute to the efficiency of French justice, it ain't Maigret for sure.

Some nutter on Blaze waffling on about Weird Britain: Wiltshire: Avebury, Stonehenge, and all that. <click> Even less inneresting than the feckwhits on Ancient Aliens which is saying something.
