Morning all

Dull and overcast. Some spits of rain but officially no rain forecast until this evening. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

In the hairdressers this morning, getting the greys painted over.

Octopus Energy just emailed me to say they reckon my monthly payments should be £653 a month rather than the £210 I currently pay. I sent a strongly worded email back advising that there is no way I use £7800 worth of energy a year and could they check if the calculations were factoring in their directors desire for a new yacht.

Grumpy now.

Morning.

Friday.

Grey.

Sunless.

Gloomy.

Chilly in here at 13.2 deg, 12.5 in the kitchen, 13 deg in the leanto.

Meanwhile on the 19th of September 2019 there was discussion on Theremin's "The Thing", engineering mistakes on the 737Max, "Mr Holmes" being set in 1947, and NF's revised schedule of cleansing for his hearing aids following the pustulent ear episode of some weeks prior.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom & drizzle.

Lunch: beans (cheesy) on toast etc. plus some stewed gooseberries.

Entertainment: the last 7 minutes of the Y&Y replacement bollox about cycling etc.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Couldn't drag myself out of bed early enough for the usual walk, so only managed just over 6km this morning, but that means I've done 200km of dog walking so far this month.

TFIF, etc.

Grey start out, being a proper overcast this time, and a bit breezy with it. Currently 8°C, which is a milder start than yesterday, but only getting up to 12°. The barometers are back down a bit at 1003/1011mB

[NickFitz]

A few more chapters of Julia read

Time for an early night now. Not only is it Friday tomorrow, it's also my last day of work for a week! So the sooner it gets here and gets done with, the better

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: steak pie, being the one with Hobgoblin stout gravy that I made the other week. Still got a few more portions left in the freezer

Accompanied by another old Police Interceptors

I started messing around with the emoji ring stuff, but I can't really be bothered. So I'm going to read my book instead

[ladymuck]

Evening all

It's been a sunny but cloudy day today. Currently 13 degrees and the high was 14. Barometer up again to 1021 mBar

This morning the landlady came round to look at few things that need maintenance. Forgot to mention the continuing issue with the gas hob that she keeps sending someone to fidget with but they never actually fix it. After that, I faffed a bit. Then arranged and had a call with a chap about a job. Then worked on that dashboard I mentioned yesterday.

I need to figure out how to transform a table that's built for user friendly input into one that will render the required chart in Power BI. All the other tweaks have been made so I ought to be done with it tomorrow.

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been sausages in finger rolls; very nice

Cloudy out now, but it's that sort of thin high stuff rather than a gloomy overcast

The chap who mows the lawns is busy lawnmowing. The big one has been done, so now he's going around doing all the little ones. One of the magpies has been down bimbling around on the big one over near the hedge, and the newly-trimmed state appeared to meet with its approval

[xoggoth]

Too many things this week. Monday dentist then lunch with sons, Tuesday boring footpath inspector meeting then karaoke in the evening, yesterday group walk followed by "book reading", aka chatting about bollux group, tomorrow creative writing group followed by loony lady 1 walk.

Thank de lawd for a free day today, apart from boring shopping.

[WTFH]

Morning all
CBS, etc, but hints of ground frost earlier.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning.

Thursday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky with the odd tiny cloud present.

Chilly in here at 12.4 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 10 deg in the leanto, 5.4 deg in the saltinghouse.

1021.5 mBar, 30.164 in Hg, 766.188 Torr, 14.815 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Shirts & smalls in the WM.

Shirts & smalls out of the WM & pegged out on the line.

Cottons in the WM.

Meanwhile on the 19th of September 2019, those halcyon days before the plague, the bus pass site was still down so the library computer room was quiet enough to watch the final ep of "The Mighty Micro" which was made after the sad demise of the original presenter, leading to a number of talking heads, NF found it warmer outside than it had been, whilst SimonMac's client offices were menaced by A Giant Badger, for reasons that remain undisclosed.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

Washing line broke: not the line itself, rather the ancient bit of galv wire that's been there for decades.

Ho very hum.

At least the grass was dryish. And it wasn't down for long, about 5 minutes before I noticed.

Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

Entertainment: Gap Finders about lady tradespersons, Toast about the demise of Mothercare.

Tried to log on to my yahoo mail: eventually gave up after n capchas and other bollox. Not worth the effort any more.

Got in eventually. Not that there was anything in there of any consequence.

On the old bt email there were rather a lot of emails from pimps, all of which were deleted tout suit, along with shedloads of emails from the IET attempting to get me to vote in some election or other. Took ages to delete all the crap.

And lo! the BBC sounds thingie required reentry of the password & stuff. Just as well I have a vague recollection of doing it all those yonks ago & wrote down the password but not the yahoo email it references. . The piece of paper now includes the yahoo mail reference as well.

The shirts are in off the line & have met the iRon & are now airing upstairs, along with the tea towels and a pillow slip.

Entertainment during the iRoning: The Infinite Monkey Cage S18 "The Immune System" continued from the previous iRoning session, plus part of S18 "The Human Voice".

Veronica Mars S1 E13 "Lord of the Bling": the "kidnapped" daughter of the rapper one.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the cold breeze and grey gloom. It seemed rather colder than this morning.

Everything in off the line & those that needed it met the iRon.

Tea: spag with the rest of that Tesco bol much enhanced by the addition of hot smoked paprika and some chilli powder. It was almost not unpleasant, whether due to the chilli enhancement or the vigorous nuking is difficult to determine. I won't be buying anymore of that from Tesco.

Entertainment: PM.

The Mentalist S2 E16 "Code Red": the escaped virus in the CBW facility one. It must be said that the resulting death seemed quite calm compared with many in such circumstances.

Trucking Hell: S7 E3: repeat.

Morning denizens

Sunny start out even though the weather app says "cloudy", though perhaps that means it'll get cloudy later. Open skies leading to chilly starts again though, at 2°C albeit with 12° expected by this afternoon. The barometers are bouncing back at 1011/1019mB

[NickFitz]

The only telly tonight was the Brighton police thing

On the other hand, my 3D emoji rings now rotate. Might turn them into a fruit machine

And I finished Part One of Julia in which the plot thickens, as plots do

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea: chicken madras with rice and naan

Nice evening out there now, though we did have enough of a shower for a rainbow to make a brief appearance

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all

Sunny with lumps of fluff hanging about, some grey flecked. A light breeze that isn't disturbing anything. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 12 expected. Barometer up a smidge to 1015 mBar.

Uneventful morning, then had a meeting, then had some soup for lunch, now contemplating what to do this afternoon. I have a dashboard to work on which will keep me occupied; although I might do that tomorrow.
