Raining now

I ventured outside earlier, as there were some forms that the estate agent needed signing by the executors, who are my brother and I. He's been away this weekend so we got them to send them to me first, and I did my bit and have now posted them on to him. Once they arrive, he can do his bit and send them back to them.

It's a shame there isn't some kind of digital communications infrastructure that would allow these things to be done without the trouble and expense of having sheets of paper shuttled around the country over the course of several days. Oh well, we can but dream

Lunch has been leftover onion bhajis and a samosa, along with a poppadom and a bit of mango chutney

My parents' house is on the market as of this morning. They've already got three viewings lined up for this afternoon

Morning all, local time 0706

The wind got up about 4am and seems to have gotten stronger since then. Weather app says wind speeds are about 76 km/h. It's also raining very heavily. Apparently a thunderstorm is happening but I haven't seen evidence of that. Currently 27 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 29 expected. Rain set to continue until about 6pm.

Looks like Grenada is going to take a bashing

Morning.

Monday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Damp.

Drizzly.

Cool in here at 19.3 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 18.5 in the leanto.

1014 mBar, 29.9434 in Hg, 760.56 Torr, 14.7 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 15th of October 2019 WTFH had his head signed off , whereas NF was doing a towel wash and making some bol, and I'd finished S1 of BTVS (it's a short season) and had progressed to S2 E1, plus an ep of Joan of Arcadia, followed by Dr PimplePopper popping that giant cyst above a chap's knee.

Shopping trips to Morrisons and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put way. The need for health food was satisfied by the purchase of some Tesco(tm) jam tarts. Yum.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc. plus a few Health Food Tesco(tm) jam tarts. I feel better already.

Morning denizens

Fairly sunny start with some patchy cloud, though it seems that'll get less patchy as the morning goes on. Cooler again, being 13°C and not getting any higher than 17°. The barometers are up though, at 1005/1013mB

Hope lm hasn't been blown away

Morning all
CBS, etc but humid on our perambulation earlier.

Hopefully my water butt will fill this time, now I've removed the great big slug that was blocking the in pipe.

Unfortunately I doubt your big butt is in the same time zone as LM right now.

Now there's just lots of rain forecast overnight with winds increasing as Beryl wends her way closer

Despite the 90% chance of thunderstorms, we appeared to experience the 10% side of those odds and neither bolt nor rumble was to be seen or heard.

Chips with the pie, BTW

There was US border stuff on this afternoon, but I didn't pay much attention as I was mucking around with some Python and Django stuff for showing a timeline of when the election results are likely to be announced in each constituency. Not much point to it really, but it's a vaguely interesting exercise

Monday again tomorrow, but at least it's a four-day week as I've booked Friday off - I'll be up late cackling vindictively at what promises to be a bumper crop of Portillo moments

Goodnight all

[ladymuck]

Where we are is showing no sign of kowtowing to the impending hurricane. The beach bar is full and doing a roaring trade

[NickFitz]

Tea has been steak and something pie - I can't remember if that one was Guinness or some other beverage. Very nice either way

[NickFitz]

Cloudy and a bit grey looking on account of Storm Beryl heading our way bringing hurricane force winds from this evening. Currently 28 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 31 expected. Rain forecast from 6pm onwards.

Exciting!

Lunch: sausages in finger rolls
