Lunch has been the small amount of leftover lamb tagine from the other night. Nice and zingy

The designer was pleased with the various bits of tidying I’d done to the layout of the thing yesterday, bringing it into line with his vision

Still windy and grey and getting gloomier out. No rain expected before around eight this evening, though

Morning all

Overcast but quite bright. Dry. Currently 13 degrees ('feels like' 9) and that's the high for the day. There may be some rain later. Barometer down to 1015 mBar.

Sunrise 05:55; Sunset 18:21 GMT

Busy morning of meetings. HWMBO is heading down for a visit.

Cocoa Shreddies for a mid-morning snack.

Morning.

Tuesday. <checks clock>

Wet.

Windy.

Horizontal drizzle.

NotSoChilly in here at 14.5 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

1011 mBar, 29.855 in Hg, 758.3 Torr, 14.663 psi, (down from 1014 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 Brillo popped in a lot (zenchury), AndyGarbs made an appearance, and I bought 18 bogrolls from Morrisons to tide me over, like, whilst quietly lusting after the lady on "In Search of Mediaeval Britain" as one does.

Can't see the other side of the valley boyo. There's tidy then.

Ongoing horizontal drizzle.

Lunch: brunch: early since there's nowt else to do since I'm not going for a walk in this.

Entertainment: R4 thing about linking up music. Unexpectedly began with AC/DC.

Morning denizens

Grey day out and windy too, so the current 10°C “feels like” 3°; the target is 13°. The barometers are heading down at 1001/1009mB

I awoke too early today, having raised the blind too high and let too much light in. I then struggled to get back to sleep so got up about twenty minutes earlier than I ever normally would. Still, I had to empty the dishwasher so at least I wasn’t bored

I had been happily going about my business believing we get an extra hour’s sleep this weekend, but thinking about time and alarms made me realise that’s wrong, and we actually lose an hour! I am not at all happy about this, but maybe I should continue getting up early for the rest of the week to get used to it, as I’ll have to do it next week anyway

[WTFH]

Morning all

Overcast out, and on our way back in from the walk the wind picked up (no, not from Max) and the clouds were gathering to the south west. I suspect rain may be on the way.

This evening’s viewing was the latest Forensics: The Real CSI, about tracking down a gang that was doing over cash machines. It was a good one; I particularly enjoyed the bloke scoffing “Gloves are only a quid” as the police took his fingerprints. Guess how they pinned it on him? He now has ten years to contemplate the price of gloves

And later, I finished The Dark Forest which had a really unexpected and clever ending!

On to the final volume in the trilogy, Death’s End, next

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been chicken in red wine sauce with chips and peas

I had to have the chicken because there isn’t enough room for all of it in the freezer. I need to use some stuff up

[NickFitz]

That’s Monday done and dusted!

I reckon the thing I’ve been working on is just about there now, though the intended users will have to have a play and decide if it’s fit for purpose, I suppose

Today was largely spent fiddling around to make it look like the designs; left a pixel here, down three pixels there, make that a different shade of grey, and all that kind of thing. It’s a fairly restful way to spend a bit of time

[xoggoth]

Just back from just under 2 hour walk doing a toothpaste, I mean footpath, inspection for council. Now got to get photos and GPS tracks off me phone, and put me notes in a spreadsheet before I forget what my illegible scrawls mean. Glad I didn't volunteer to do as much as I did last year.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Cloudy. Currently 9 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.

Sunrise 05:57; Sunset 18:19 GMT

My weather app says, "cooling is expected over the next 3 days" with an icon that looks like a line graph trending upwards...

[DoctorStrangelove]

Could be! As you know, it sometimes struggles to cope with moderator activity

Wot? NAT's pressed a button again? .

Morning.

Monday apparently.

Dry.

Wanly sunny.

Highish tide.

NotQuiteSoChilly in here at 14 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1016 mBar, 30 in Hg, 762 Torr, 14.736 psi, (up from 1014.5 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, LM, and NF popped in, with NF in the fortunate position of not needing to live in a box for the next 12 weeks (according to Bunter's government diktat).

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 waffling on about something. Noon o'clock news: TACO. Y&Y on LPG. <click>

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wanly sunny greyish gloom. Not exactly over warm this afternoon.

Getting outside a mug of mediocre yet consistent coffee.

2 lawns duly mown and a shower duly taken, having raised somewhat of a sweat whilst so engaged.

Tea: chilli con carne with rice etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM. TACO appears again. .

Blaze: skinwalker ranch bollox. Suitably weird. Cold spots above a bonfire. No good shall come of this.

5USA+1: NCIS S22 E10 "Baker's Man". Meh. Meringues go better with coke. .

Goodness me, I finally had a google for "Foner's scrapyard" in Neath, having dimly recalled that it was somewhere close to the castle. Never realised that Mr Foner was related to Madame Foner of the Arcade in Swansea where she sold (and still sells) corsetry etc. (established 1901). Dunno when Mr Foner established his metal recycling business.

Seems quite odd to think that a mediaeval Norman castle was adjacent to a scrapyard, but that was Neath in those days.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Light clouds earlier meant that sunrise was not as obvious as recent days. It's burning off now and looks like it could be quite pleasant.
One of the nearby villages is building a "dead hedge" and they are going round houses taking old wood. This is good news for us as I have about 3 bonfires' worth of wood that is too big for our shredder.
