    It's come over all grey and the wind is up. However, the rain risk has passed in favour of it raining all day tomorrow instead.

    Some bed linen is on the line, some is in the WM. I am not hopeful that all linen will dry outside today.

    Morning all

    Blue sky, wispy fluff. Currently 18 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain forecast early evening. Barometer down to 1009 mBar.

    Bed has been stripped and is airing. Linen is in the WM.

    Some faffing to tidy up the front garden will happen today. Although I have decided I'll just get a man that can in to do the bulk of the work.

    S’murky out. Might make a trip to the tip and one to Screwfix before gardening.

    Morning denizens

    A good night's sleep having been had, I have awoken to a sunny day with some high, thin, hazy cloud hotter and yon. It's already fairly warm at 15°C and heading for 18° this afternoon, while the barometers are down a touch at 996/1004mB

    Morning.

    Sunday.

    Grey.

    Wanly sunny.

    Blue sky in some very small parts.

    Chilly in here at 15 deg, ditto the kitchen & leanto.

    1003 mBar, 29.62 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.55 psi, (down from 1005 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

    Meanwhile on the 25th of September 2019 the assembled congregation wished WTFH well on his medical excursion, whereas I avoided getting wet on the trip to town & back.

    Today saw the usual run of wildlife stuff on the box, including new Monkey Life

    And this evening, I've read a few more chapters of The Illusionist

    Early night now so I can make the most of having two whole days of rest - probably by resting

    Goodnight all

    For tea tonight, I finally got around to ordering stuff from the tandoori place round the corner on the shopping street. It's about as far away as the other Chinese was from the old flat, so I wasn't going to be so lazy as to have it delivered, and ambled round to collect it instead. Very nice evening for an amble, it turned out

    As for the food: well, that was extremely good. The place was busy with people eating in, and it certainly deserves to be popular. The onion bhajis alone were amazing, and everything else I got was really nice too

    Cor it's warm out! I did a bit of hedge trimming; the ones that Mum complains about most often. Noticed that her friend had mowed the back lawn in the week, which saved me a job. I didn't do the front though as there's not enough room in the garden waste bin.

    Now she's plotting a trip to the big Tesco.

    Morning denizens

    It's sunny and rather Simpsonesque out. Mild too at 15°C, though not getting any higher than 16°. The barometers are up a bit at 998/1006mB

    We had three lots of estate agents round to my parents' house the other day, so I have to review what they said and what my brother and sister thought of them so I can weigh in with an opinion on which one we should go with. That's assuming we don't arrange the sale by other means - there are several people who've expressed an interest in the property over the years

    Sunny with occasional bits of fluff. Damp from, I presume, overnight rain. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Rain forecast late afternoon. Barometer up to 1013 mBar.

    Off to visit Mum today as it would have been my Dad's 75th birthday today. I don't have anything planned but I figured she'd appreciate the company.

    ^^^ Xogg OM.

    Morning.

    Saturday.

    Damp.

    Sunny.

    Blue sky in parts.

    Chilly in here at 14.6 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 deg in the leanto, 12 deg in the salting house (I wonder when the last pig was salted in there).

    1007 mBar, 29.7366 in Hg, 755.3 Torr, 14.6 psi, (unchanged), 77% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).

    Shirts & smalls in the WM.

    Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

    Cottons in the WM.

    Meanwhile on the 25th of September 2019 the bus pass site was back up again, Xogg was having problems with jscript whatever that is, NF found a large spider, veteran had steak & kidney pie, original PM was off to Fleetwood Blackpool after working from home.

    Cottons out of the WM & pegged out on the line. I may have forgotten the detergent but they smell ok so there we go.

    Shirts nearly dry.

    Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

    Entertainment: Dead Ringers: not very funny.

    Bits of ST IV "The voyage home". I like the bit with the whaler.

    Shirts in off the line and roughly iRoned, along with those of the cottons that were dry enough to come in off the line & meet the iRon, all now airing upstairs.

    Smalls in off the line & airing upstairs.

    Entertainment during the iRoning: The Infinite Monkey Cage S19 "Microbes".

    The Infinite Monkey Cage S19 "The Future of Humanity".

    'Tis hot in the salting house: 24.6 deg, whilst in here it's all of 15.2 deg.

    Tea: stuff that emerged from the freezer last Sunday before the came back on Monday night: chicken portion, two sausage (type unknown but Morrisons of some sort), bacon. Nice enough. Cooked long enough to ensure it was all dead.

    Entertainment: Dixon of Dock Green S20 E3 "Harry's Back (1974)". With Lee Montague before The Sweeney offed him.

    The Edgar Wallace Theatre S2 E9 "Candidate for Murder (1961)". Well the most inneresting part of that one was finding that the XK150 is still on the road but the Van den Plas Princess 3 litre isn't. It's about a hitman with a heart of gold. . Last five minutes makes up for the tedium of most of the previous 50.

    Bits of "Highlander (1986)". There can be only one. In fact it would have been much betterer if II, III, and IV had never happened.
