The drive out yesterday was fun. Some interesting ideas of what a "highway" is.
We were supposed to be doing a catamaran trip today but that got cancelled.
Cloudy start out with evidence of a bit of a breeze, and also traces of overnight rain. Currently 15°C and not getting any higher than 18°, with the barometers trivially down at 1002/1010mB

Meanwhile on the 15th of October 2019 it was misty, moisty, raining, eventually raining old women & sticks, and NF had run out of nectarines which meant no breakfast, plus the forum was playing up again..

Lunch: beans on toast etc.
Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned, now airing upstairs.
It's very grey & gloomy around here & not at all warm.
In other other news, the continuing excavations in the freezer have revealed Yet Another 2 litre icecream container full of cooked apple. I'll need the hammer & chisel again. Ho hum.
All the cottons requiring the iRon have duly met it & are airing upstairs.
Smalls in off the line & airing upstairs.
Mattress flipped & rotated, then bed made, thusly avoiding the trauma of discovering later that it hadn't been.
Entertainment during the above: The Infinite Monkey cage "Fire" and a part of "Quantum Theory", this last remaining listened to and not listened to until next washing day.
Not as much wildlife stuff on today, and most importantly: no Monkey Life as the series ended last week
In addition to reading nonsense on the Internet, this evening I read a bit more of Black Box about the problems that came about with computerisation, in particular the many incidents involving the Airbus A320 in its early days
Oh, and we had 4kg of sea bream delivered today along with a gurnard, from the fisherman who doesn’t eat fish (unless I prep it for him). Took the heads off, gutted them and trimmed the fins. Tomorrow I’ll finish prepping before deciding what goes in the freezer, what he gets, and what we’re eating tomorrow night.
A patch of nettles the size of our garden in Surrey has been cleared (by hand, no chemicals of tools used), and not I’ve got that lovely tingling sensation in my arms where the gloves didn’t quite cover.
Off to a plant sale tomorrow.
On the way back, I noticed that one of the windows in my old flat is broken!
They've put a board or something on the inside, but it's going to be pricy to fix that. He wouldn't have had this problem if he hadn't put my rent up so much that I bought a flat and moved out on principle
