G'day.

Saturday.

Damp/Dry/Wet/Torrential* *delete where applicable: all have applied.

Grey/Blue sky.

Sunny/black.

Cool in here at 17.3 deg, 16.5 in the kitchen, 15.5 in the leanto.

997 mBar, 29.44 in Hg, 747.8 Torr, 14.46 psi, (was 995 at 09:15, was 989 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile onthe 27th of February 2020 Brillo and AndyGarbs popped in, as did eek the bug finder, WTFH, and LM.

In other other news next door's roofer chap turned up and there was hammering and such like activity. No idea WTF he did but he's gone now.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: FOOC. Bit of Moneybox <click> Who'd have thunk some scumbag life assurance company would cancel a policy you've paid into for years. .

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine until 200 yards from home, whereupon the heavens opened, only to close again as I walked in through the back door.

Just had a small bowl of beef & Guinness stew for lunch. The flavours have developed nicely with a night in the fridge

And earlier, I had an orange! It’s been ages since I had one of those, which is silly really as I like them; I just don’t often remember to buy any

Well I'm glad I decided to go and collect it earlier in the day.

The Metropolitan Line was on the wonk and it took a good 2 hours to get to Croxley. Then it started raining on me as I started the walk from the station to the trading estate.

However, on arriving at the garage, my baby car looked better than it did 17 years ago when I first bought her. They had done an amazing job. Expensive but I think worth it.

And here we are! 365365. Nothing too fancy but pleasing all the same.

A little more...

As I quite like the post number coming up

Now for a spot of filler

Afternoon all

Much rain overnight. Today started off sunny, then went cloudy, then clear sky and now occasional fluff. Currently 15 degrees and that's the high for the day. Rain due from late afternoon. Barometer still at 1002 mBar.

Sunrise 06:55; Sunset 16:34 GMT

As I couldn't use CUK forums, I did laundry and prepped my Q1 accounts for the purpose of doing my VAT return. That reminds me, I need to chase my year end accounts.

I forgot to strip the bed for airing. I'll do that tomorrow before I visit Mum.

Afternoon denizens

We’re back!

Until the next time it falls over…

It’s looking quite Simpsonesque here today, though perhaps in reverse as the clouds seem to be massing rather than dispersing. It’s 12°C, with the high of 13° already just a memory, and the barometers are much the same at 988/996mB. Looks like there may be some rain around teatime - which is now after sunset!

God knows what's going on here now. I assume this will get posted one way or another. Probably end up stuck to the bottom of the first ever thread in General, given that it's the first thread on the board

I just happen to know this because I was looking through (a local copy from a few years ago of) the database today. Change is a-coming! And I've been asked to help work out how the hell to make it happen. So with luck, we'll soon have something that works again

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was 28 Years Later (2025) which I thought was very good. Lots of quite disturbing stuff in there, but that's what it's all about!

I didn't plan for it to be Hallowe'en when I watched that, it just worked out that way

But in that spirit, I then rewatched Late Night with the Devil (2023). Great stuff this, with spot-on 1970s design and the perfectly paced transition from Larry Sanders humour into deep horror

And then more of Alien Earth because it seems to be picking up a bit: Metamorphosis (TV Episode 2025)

Goodnight all

Ah, it's not completely broken. Have to use 'latest activity' view to see the posts.

Looks excellent!

Lunch earlier was a cold sausage in a finger roll. And tea, of course, has been the beef and Guinness stew, which turned out very well indeed

Today is car pick up day

Having done all my morning meetings, I'm considering going now to collect it rather than waiting until this afternoon.
