Dentist done
Just a checkup which revealed nothing untoward, though TBH it seemed a bit cursory. There's one tooth at the back which has been about 50% filling for years, and about 50% of the filling falls away whenever they try to rebuild it, having nothing to support it. She suggested sealing it instead, which involved a few minutes with some plastic stuff sealed by UV; it doesn't improve the value of the tooth, but makes it less likely any infection will get past what remains of the filling. She also did a quick clean of the gaps between, as she said I'd be paying the same with that as without so she might as well
The big shock came when I was setting off home and discovered that the Co-op near the old place is no longer a Co-op, having been transmuted by some malign force or entity into a Morrison's Local
Real end of an era vibes about that; I'm pretty sure the building was originally constructed as a Co-op, some time in the 1930s

Morning.
Friday.
Dry.
Grey.
Sunless.
Chilly but not as cold as yesterday: 12 deg in here,11.5 in the kitchen, 9.5 in the leanto.
1023 and a tad mBar, 30.218 in Hg, 767.54 Torr, 14.842 psi, (down from 1025 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 11th of December 2019 NF discovered the reason for the change of drugs: the old one had been recalled , cojak popped in to ask how to book a taxi in that France place without speaking da lingo, whereas scruff suggested an Uber, and opm did the Franglais thing.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom: proved to be rather warmer than yesterday since I could feel my hands well before the 4th pond & in fact starting taking stuff off to cool down a bit.
Further investigation has revealed that the mushrooms in the tree were, in fact, in the hollow bit. Happily enough, said tree managed to miss the memorial bench for that 9 year old kid. Which was good.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; Today, 10:28.

Yet another grey day out. Mild enough for the time of year once again, being 5°C and soaring to 6° later, while the barometers are down rather at 1015/1023mB. I don't think there's been any rain, and the damp concrete is just a sign of a heavy dew; nor is rain predicted for later
Sainsbury's have proven to be a broken reed in the matter of supplying tins (not plastic tubs) of Quality Street. They're delivering such other items from the list as they've been able to scavenge from the bins round the back some time between 15:12 and 16:12Last edited by NickFitz; Today, 09:01.

Slept in, so the walk was only about 4km. Murky and overcast out, and it's been drizzling overnight.
TFIF, etc.

No more telly tonight, but more Sassoon read
Holiday time may have begun, but I have the dentist tomorrow; just a checkup, or at least I hope so. So it's an early night again
Goodnight all

Lunch of sardine toasties, being the "in tomato sauce" variant
Not too bad a morning, now that there's some stuff to do. I was pairing with a chap who'll carry on once I'm done for the year - except he finishes for the year tomorrow, so I'm not sure things will end up going much further until January

Morning.
Thursday.
Dry.
Grey.
Sunless.
Calm.
Chilly in here at 11.7 deg, 10.5 in the kitchen, 9 in the leanto.
1029 mBar, 30.386 in Hg, 771.81 Torr, 14.924 psi, (down a tad from 1029 & a tad last night), 61% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 10th of December 2019 LM agreed with NF that the SJD invoicing thing seemed a bit redundant, NF was playing with that Linux stuff and SQL and things, DaveB was off to the physio, whereas I was watching Yet More BTVS S7 and Angel S4, beginning to tire of both: the end being nigh, while NF was Just Saying No to Drugs after the surgery had randomly changed some drug or other without informing him of the reasoning thereof.
Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom. Quite chilly out there.
Lunch: brunch: in addition to the usual I've started consuming some Weetabix (BBE 4/10/2014).
Entertainment: Y&Y gap finders: the chap who started SuperDry, Sliced Bread: best bits compilation.
Photocopied the late mater's cookery book: it didn't come out too well, I may scan it on the old scanner on the win98 box (assuming that still boots & works, like).
Entertainment: WWII fighter planes.
Nazi Hunters: Himmler. Suicide. Or was it murder by the evil British? Files locked until 2045.
UFO bollox: Brookhaven & Livermore labs. are they being surveilled by LGM?
Some walk or other on BBC4.
Dalgleish S3 E3. Still nowhere near the Roy Marsden version from 1985.

Morning all Overcast but dry out. Nice 6km walk done mostly in the pitch black, but at least both our torches were fully charged and working.
Early start as I forgot to do timesheets last week and I have a big meeting this morning which I need to prep for.

Cloudy start and a cloudy day ahead, and it's actually turned a bit foggy out; whether this will get thicker remains to be seen. Relatively mild, being 5°C and aiming for 8°; the barometers are still hanging around up high at 1021/1029mB
Last (working) day of the year today!

As is common for me, my usual thing of "take Google / City Mapper estimates and add wiggle room" has resulted in me being at Waterloo early enough to get the 0730 fast train rather than the 0800 I was aiming for.

Morning all
Dark. Sunrise not for another hour yet. Dry. Currently 5 degrees with a high of 8 expected. Rain forecast from mid afternoon onwards. Barometer still at 1032 mBar.
An Android system update has changed the weather app and barometric pressure is now to 1 decimal place. I shan't bother reporting the extra precision.
On my way to ConsultancyCo offices in Guildford, necessitating an even earlier start to the day than the past two days of office based working
