Tonight's viewing was S1E1 of Cold Case Investigators: Solving Britain’s Sex Crimes on iPlayer
And later, I read some more of Atomic Accidents
Wonder if my lustre will have returned tomorrow?
Goodnight all

Morning.
Monday.
Dry.
Sunny.
Blue sky.
Cool in here at 18.5 deg, 19.5 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto.
1010 mBar, 29.8253 in Hg, 757.56 Torr, 14.6488 psi, (down from 1010 and a tad last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 75% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 30th of September 2019 WTFH took the dog for a walk, NF admired the stitching in the photographs of WTFH's wound, it was dry before it the monsoon returned, and the Gnoll Brook had overflowed once again as is its wont, reminding us exactly why Water Street is so called, I'd been tidying graves & had decided that Something Must BE Done about them, needless to say, 4 years on, Nothing Has Been Done.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the unbearable heat.
Five lawns mown in the even more unbearable heat: either some dirt came out of the petrol can or the petrol is too stale coz the mower engine is hunting. Which will have to wait until I can be arsed to have a look at it.
Washing washed and pegged out on the line.
Knackered now.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc.
Entertainment: TWATO followed by Gordon Corera waffling on about the wonders of China and the CCP.
Veronica Mars S2 13 "Ain't no magic mountain high enough".
Cleaned a cupboard but left the little spider alone in case it likes eating moths.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Yesterday, 15:22.

Morning all a bit chilly in the Balearics right now, maybe that’s cause I’m wearing shorts.

Morning denizens
Overcast start, though not particularly ominous. Still mild at 11°C with a target of 19°, and the barometers are steady at 1004/1012mB. Looks like there's some rain expected midweek, but not today

The US border mob were annoying people for no good reason earlier, but I didn't pay a lot of attention. The farcical nature of so much of what they do was well brought out by the way they gave close scrutiny to a couple of guys who run a legal cannabis farm in Washington state, who were returning from British Columbia with a sifting machine that is also legal in that jurisdiction. Their reasoning, to use the term loosely, was that although this stuff was legal on both sides of the border, it potentially wasn't on the actual border itself, though in the end they decided that a clean, brand new agricultural machine was actually OK there too
Meanwhile, I got some work done on the business of implementing parametric curves and surfaces of revolution in Swift, which was fun because I was able to get a very efficient implementation working using some aspects of the language I haven't worked with much before
And this evening, a couple of old episodes of 24 Hours in A&E
Monday again tomorrow. At least the next one will be a Bank Holiday
Goodnight all
