Wot? NAT's pressed a button again? .
Morning.
Monday apparently.
Dry.
Wanly sunny.
Highish tide.
NotQuiteSoChilly in here at 14 deg, 13 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.
1016 mBar, 30 in Hg, 762 Torr, 14.736 psi, (up from 1014.5 last night), 63% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, LM, and NF popped in, with NF in the fortunate position of not needing to live in a box for the next 12 weeks (according to Bunter's government diktat).
Morning all
Light clouds earlier meant that sunrise was not as obvious as recent days. It's burning off now and looks like it could be quite pleasant.
One of the nearby villages is building a "dead hedge" and they are going round houses taking old wood. This is good news for us as I have about 3 bonfires' worth of wood that is too big for our shredder.
Grey day out, and not expected to brighten up later. It’s 7°C with an expected high of 13°, so back to what it’s often been for quite a while now. The barometers are up though, at 1009/1017mB
A few episodes of Forensics:The Real CSI have been watched. iPlayer only has a selected few episodes from previous series so I'll be up to date relatively quickly.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine. Nice enough.
Lunch: brunch. "Entertainment": profile of Bacon Sandwich Eating Man. FFS.
Meanwhile on the 22nd of March 2020 I wasn't dead yet, BR14 popped in a lot on his way to going stir crazy, LM bid adieu to HWMBO who departed for Scotland, and scruff popped in.
Attempted to read another Garrison Keillor book: it reached the "read & off to Oxfam" pile after about 25 pages. Couldn't figure out WTF I was reading: short articles from 70s & 80s magazines of zero interest.
Tea: beans on toast with baked spuds. Nice enough. Entertainment: some nonsense on R4.
The Beyond Skinwalker Ranch thing.
Sergeant Cork S3 E9 "The case of the penny plains". Not much Cork in this one, again led by Marriott. Pretty lady. She died in 2014 at the age of 84.
Thing about rain on BBC Alba. Och ye'll have brought your Macintosh. .
Thing about something else I found in the EPG but can remember without turning the box back on. "In our blood: the forever chemicals scandal".
^^^ Oh yes, another fine example of contamination. I noticed in one of the memos that 3M was mentioned. The Gorseinon factory managed to contaminate the surrounding area with the tulipe a few years ago. It was in the press recently. "Light Water" was their product and I recall a demonstration of same on a training course.
I'm only surprised that the Orange Mother****ing Moron hasn't given the chemical companies a Presidential Pardon. .
