Morning all
Overcast. Wet. Raining. Set to remain in a state of wetness of one level or another for the whole day. Currently 14 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down a bit to 1008 mBar.
Assorted wearables in the WM.
White pudding is quite common north of the border and our hotel in Dublin last month had it on the breakfast buffet. Like black pudding (which I also like) it's not something I tend to buy but will enjoy eating when it's available.

Walk has been walked, 8.9km for the day so far.
mmm white pudding. Much prefer it to black pudding.

Morning.
Monday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky in parts with high cloud.
Cool in here at 14.9 deg, 15.5 deg in the kitchen, 15 deg in the leanto.
1004 mBar, 29.648 in Hg, 753.06 Torr, 14.562 psi, (up from 1003 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 71% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 25th of September 2019 I had liver & bacon with onion gravy for tea which didn't sit well with LM, after I'd spent some more time patching the hole in the slates with yet more epoxy and bath sealant, whereas NF had a chicken leg in a bap.
*It's no longer a butcher's shop because the butcher was boning some meat & stabbed himself in the groin, severing an artery. There was a traffic jam in town due to some gas escape (I remember the cloud of dust & crap from it) and he was dead before he reached A&E (which at that time was in Neath General Hospital rather than in Morriston). That was in 1977.
This morning's dream before waking involved some convoluted Make file jiggery pokery that wasn't working well. Curiously I can no longer remember the machine I was working on trying to accomplish that, but I think it must have been the System 1000 program loader or somesuch: converting some uncommented undocumented CAP-16 assembler so that it ran under MTS rather than RTOS (which I accomplished, but unfortunately introduced a bug or two whilst doing so).
The bug, such as it was, was caused by the E register being used for some variable or other, which was unfortunate inasmuch as the E register was the return address for a subroutine call. It took a little while to fix that.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 08:31.

Morning denizens
Fairly sunny start out, though with a goodish amount of filo pastry cloud across much of the sky, which is expected to remain through the day. Currently 12°C with a daily target of 18°, while the barometers are essentially unchanged at 996/1003mB - the anomaly of not being a completely unchanged 996/1004 is due to rounding errors
Happy Bank Holiday!

The incessant repeats of US borders and NZ policing were largely ignored this afternoon. This evening, the latest episode of Surgeons was about emergency surgery, which was quite interesting; and then a few more old episode of 24 Hours in A&E
Goodnight all

The bed linen was brought in around 4pm. Slightly damp but mostly dry. The duvet cover never went out on the line and was draped over the airer instead.
I never did any gardening out the front.

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.

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.

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
